Topic: "For Sale" sign posts

[jennym]

Now is the time of year when more folks are putting their houses on the market. When they've been sold, often you will find that the "For sale" sign is laying in the front garden waiting to be collected by estate agents. The posts are generally very sturdy, about 40mm square and make excellent supporting posts on the garden.
No-one has ever refused my offer to take the sign away for them  ;D

I agree they are very useful and have a stack by the side of the shed. A guy on the lotty does for sale/sold erecting for a job and every six months dumps a load on the site for everyone to help themselves. Last year i used them to stabilise my bean canes and this weekend i am going to use them to construct my chicken run. You can`t beat a freebie can you!

Might give that a go and make one then i'll have more of an excuse to take a sign.

Just remembered something : I got a couple of posts from a sign once and had them in my front garden ready to go to the allotment. The plumber being helpful when we had out bathroom done thought I wanted them to go to the skip and sworded them in half  and threw them in his van. I asked where they had gone and he said "oh did you want them sorry!" bet he thinks i'm mad.

I pinched my neighbours as the estate agents never came to collect them :)  They make a great greenhouse door, i painted the signs to cover the forsale... lol.  Made the bottom panel out of it, and the top put in the glass. 
The wood made the side panels.
With the rest of it, I made raspberry cane wires with them.

So I agree, very useful :)

Genious! It's such an obvious solution to my fence post solution and I'd never even considered it.

Might not be so many available in the current ecomomic climate!

Cut the plastic into rectangles and make decent sized signposta for the plants.

Once staple-gunned to old louvres from nasty nasty louvred doors they look well professional.
