Delivery drivers stop guessing. This address plaque measures 17 inches wide by 9 inches tall, big enough to read from the road without taking over the front of your house. We size the numbers to your address so the plaque stays balanced. A 1 to 3 digit address gets numbers around 5.4 inches tall, 4 digits come in around 4.5 inches, and 5 digits are cut close to 3.7 inches. Every piece is cut from 12-gauge steel, which is 3mm thick. Most online sign shops use 14 or 16-gauge, roughly half the thickness. Ours gets powder-coated after cutting, and that finish is rated around 20 years in direct sun before it needs redoing. That thickness is most of why this costs more than a box-store address sign. A thin plaque oil-cans in the wind and starts showing rust at the edges after a few winters. This one does not. Nothing goes into production until you have seen the design and said yes. Pick your size and colour, tell us your details, and we will send a design proof for your okay before anything gets cut.
