    Default Golf Signs?

    I am considering getting into the golf hole sign business. By golf hole sign I mean the sign at the tee box on each hole that shows the layout the ground between the tee and green. Seems simple enough; however, making a sign that will hold up in all types of weather is something to think about. Does anyone have any advise concerning the material and finishes to use?

    Thanks in advance for any advise.

    Just started using it myself for some outdoor signs, really happy with it so far, easy to cut, durable. Now to just find a cheaper supplier!

    Signfoam, http://signfoam.com/ is a competitive product. Lot's of info on their site. Another excellent choice.
    If your signs are VCarved, no 3D images, PVC such as Azek, will do the job very well. Much less expensive. Available at Home Depot, Lowes, lumberyards etc. in a wide variety of dimensions as well as 4' x 8' sheets.

    Signfoam is not the same as kingcolor and would not be very good for golf signs

    On projects like this the first thing I do is, find the retail prices. Second step, to see what the market is being offered. This is a well trodden path.

    I'm with Jerry about not using HDU. That material would be one of the least desirable. GC markers need color, which can be applied with vinyl. That makes PVC very desirable. It's tough, and affordable. Please let us see how you do.
