Pole / Pylon Sign Kits
Larger outdoor kits for business entrances and roadside signs — with real planning guidance from a sign builder, not a call center.
Permit Or No Permit? Find Out First.
Permit requirements vary by location. Some areas may not require a permit at all, while others require permits, engineering, inspections or electrical approvals. Before you spend a dollar, check with your local township — and we'll help you plan a cabinet that fits your rules.
How A Pylon Pole Sign Goes Together
A pylon sign is a freestanding, pole-mounted lighted cabinet — the roadside sign customers see from down the street. We build the aluminum pylon sign cabinet in single-pole and double-pole configurations. Here's the heart of it: the cabinet can be fabricated to slide over the pole. The pole continues upward inside the cabinet and attaches to an internal mounting structure.
Round structural poles are often preferred. Square tubing — like 4"×4" or 6"×6" with a ¼-inch wall — are general planning examples only. Final pole size, foundation, wind load and attachment requirements must be confirmed for your exact project.
We supply the prepared cabinet kit and coaching; structural poles and concrete are sourced locally (shipping steel pipe across the country doesn't make sense for anyone).
Coordinate The Project. Keep The Savings.
With our coaching, drafts and planning instructions, many owners coordinate their own pylon project — pole, foundation, electrical and install — using local trades. Depending on the complete project, doing the coordinating yourself may help save up to 60 percent.

Pole & Pylon FAQ

What pole should I use?
Round structural poles are often preferred, and square tube examples like 4"×4" or 6"×6" with ¼-inch wall are general examples only. Final pole size, foundation, wind load and attachment must be confirmed for your exact project.
Will I really save 60%?
Savings depend on the complete project. Coordinating parts of the work yourself may help save up to 60 percent — it is a potential, not a guarantee.
