FAQs
Does this sign come with mounting screws?

Can this sign be mounted on brick?
Yes, it can be mounted on brick, provided you use the correct masonry wall plugs and appropriate screws.
Is the material weather-resistant?

Can the sign be painted a different color?
Yes, you can paint the sign with an exterior-grade metal paint if you wish to match a specific color scheme.
Troubleshooting
Sign rattling on the gate
Tighten the mounting screws or add a small rubber washer behind the sign to provide a snug fit against the surface.
Surface rust appearing on edges
Lightly sand the rusted area with fine steel wool and touch up with an exterior-rated metal spray paint or clear protective lacquer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: align the sign with your chosen surface, mark the two holes, and use appropriate exterior-grade screws. Ensure you choose screws compatible with your specific gate material (wood screws for gates, masonry screws for brick). To maintain the finish, periodically wipe the sign with a clean cloth. If you live in a coastal area or an environment with heavy rain, consider applying a clear coat of protective metal sealant once a year to preserve the brown finish and prevent oxidation of the cast iron.
