How to Choose the right
safety signs or post for the job

  • Choose the height the site needs

    Keep the message above the grass. Choose by the height you need after installation.

  • Choose for knocks and ground conditions

    Frequent knocks call for a flexible post. Hard ground or an existing support may favour an over-post installation.

  • Match the colour and the message

    Make the service clear at a glance. Pair the specified post colour with the warning and contact details.

Choose the height the site needs

Compare 48 in (1.22 m), 60 in (1.52 m) and 84 in (2.13 m) total post lengths. Allow for the buried section when checking how much warning remains in view.

The 48 in option suits a shorter finished marker; 60 in adds height; 84 in gives more clearance where vegetation could hide the message. Match the finished height to the sightline and the asset owner’s requirements.

Choose for knocks and ground conditions

For paddocks and routes exposed to repeated contact, ask for TriView® PLUS with its internal fibreglass rod to help the post return upright.

TriView® rebounds after impacts at up to 55 mph (about 88.5 km/h), stays flexible from −40°C to +65.6°C and comes with a 10-year warranty.

For a fixed installation, TriView can fit over a compatible star picket or metal post. Confirm the mounting and ground preparation with Tapex: a rigid support changes how the assembly responds to impact.

Match the colour and the message

Choose the colour and decal wording to match the asset owner’s requirements. Custom decals can identify the buried service, its owner and the contact details crews need before work starts.

For routes inspected in low light, ask about reflective bands. Confirm the decal layout, reflective options and included accessories before ordering.
