Product Details
For installations requiring both a full-perimeter frame and vertical pole support, our Tubular Frame with Poles system provides the ultimate foundation. This complete solution combines our engineered tubular frame with heavy-duty poles — giving you a ready-to-install structural system for freestanding LED signs.
What It Is
This system integrates two critical components:
-
The Pole(s): One or two heavy-duty metal poles that serve as the primary vertical support. The poles are provided for the customer to embed in a concrete foundation on-site.
-
The Tubular Frame: A full-perimeter metal frame that surrounds and supports the LED sign cabinet. The frame attaches to the pole(s), creating a rigid, stable structure.
Together, they form a complete system where the tubular frame distributes loads evenly to the poles, which transfer forces deep into the ground.
Standard Pole Specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Height Above Grade | Maximum 10 feet (from ground level to the bottom of the sign cabinet/frame) |
| Recommended Embedment Depth | Minimum 6 feet (below grade, set in a concrete foundation) |
| Total Pole Length | 16+ feet (6 ft below grade + 10 ft above grade + additional length for frame connection as required) |
Note: Final embedment depth is site-specific and should be determined by a local engineer or installer based on soil conditions and wind-load requirements.
Foundation Responsibility
The poles are supplied ready for customer installation. The customer or their installer is responsible for:
-
Digging the hole
-
Setting the poles plumb and level
-
Pouring the concrete foundation
-
Ensuring embedment depth meets local codes
