Hey guy's i'm working on new tee signs for south mountain. So far they're semi-gloss white, 10 X 14 X 2 and all 18 of them will look about somethin' like dis.

All black paint, then a crud ton of clear-coat....

Any suggestions, Ideas, feedback, etc. would be nice.

I'm probably going to put time into them this weekend, so the sooner the better with the feedback.

They look good. What will the sign material be? Do you have any idea what they will cost ea? Are you stenciling the letters on?

Here is an idea based on what you have.

you should first contact the parks

run it by them first
jordan wants lehigh county parks on the sign
parkway wants city of allentown parks and recreation department

just proofed the jordan signs this week and they are off to get printed

a friend of mine (yes i got a friend) works for a local company that make recycling containers

the signs we are creating will be routed out of a 4x 8 sheet of plastic,a decal applied to it and a piece of polycarbonate over top of that to prevent damage

the center will be routed out with a 1/2" edge all the way around the outside and the polycarbonate will fit inside flush with the top

once they are made and we're happy with them we may also use these at the parkway

heres a sample of one of the signs

so its looking a bit more like this now...not the real distances


I'll figure something out with the parks dept I guess. Final stuff is going to wait until any decisions about red tees and alternate pins in discussed, but I intend to have something around icebowl...

the sign looks good. You may want to consider going with an alum. sign base and a printed vinyl decal. Thats what was done at UCP and they turned out well. The cost is very reasonable. It think it was something like $45/sign.

I agree with niceness of the aluminum, and definately like the tee's at unami. However, I feel that south mountain deserves wood signs, as it is the woods. Not to mention I'm looking at a final cost of about $5 a sign if I do 36, or like $8.50 a sign if I do 18. The Images are all being produced, pro bono via a photoshop-style program, will be 10"x14", and laminated. I intend to attach with a staple gun on the black border, glue, or devise a tamper-proof sorta permanent thingie (Davis is full of good ideas). I figure the laminated images will give us the freedom to add tees or alt. pins and not have 5 steps involved with it. I think the hardest part of all this will be getting the posts for the signs right...

Thats cool. I like the woods signs too. How are they being laminated? Im not really following. I thought you were planning on painting the wood?

The Disc Golf Course Designers Group recommends printing out and laminating color prints at minimal cost which can be easily replaced whenever the need arises. No tee signs are tamper-proof or vandalism proof. Laminated color prints at least can be easily replaced at a very low cost when vandalised, or if changes are made to the course, etc.

yeah, I intended to paint each of them....

After discussion some things have changed: they will be on the white wood signs, and images have been created for each hole. The laminated 10x14 images will be held in a plexiglass-like sandwich mounted on the wood. So we can change them at will. We will also use an additional piece of wood to help prevent tampering. the signs will be mounted, on an angle, on the tops of the existing tee posts (use your imagination).

I think some alternate tees and pins will be coming round the mountain. This will let us have something now and after the additions/alterations without all the fuss.

For less UV exposure and more strength the signs should be mounted vertically on the front of the tee post, thus leaving the engraved hole # exposed on the top of the post. This way one can see from a distance which tee they are looking at.

This will also prevent the build up of ice and snow on the sign during winter months. While making them as strong and "vandal proof" as possible by having as much contact area as possible between the post and sign.
