willy66 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am looking for some feed back on an idea that I have for putting up posted signs. All the conventional ways with some kind of post with or without a plywood backing are expensive and labor intensive. The use of nails is prohibited by most landowners and just doesn't last. I'm thinking of a system that could fit in a back pack, signs, tools and this system of attaching the sign to the tree, that would be inexpensive, easy to use and transport, doesn't harm the tree and would last until the tree fell down. Without disclosing to much, I'm just wondering if people would be interested in such a product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My thoughts after years of covering lots of ground are. Metal signs last longer and fade less. I need posts and plywood to post open farm fields(no trees) . I myself don't find it expensive as you can get 20 or so out of one sheet of plywood. A stack of signs and a screw gun fit in my pack now. Lasting untill the tree fell would be nice, but you still have to go around and cut the new growth that hangs down and blocks the signs each year or so.

TreeGuy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I bought a huge roll from tractor supply, it was about the diameter of a paper towel rol. It was around 30$ and they have lasted 4 years so far. I just carry that and my hamer tacker which i find to be 100% more effiant thn nailing or using a traditionalstaple gun in a back pack. Cant tell ya how many acres i have done this way and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHunt Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I use the hard plastic signes and short roofing nails. Did this to my property 5 years ago and signs are still there and not faded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
