Description
What is a Ladder sign or Entrance Sign?
Ladder Sign
Individual signs/ladders are fixed to the front of the posts with screws. You can choose either self assembly or we can pre construct the sign and ship fully constructed for you.
Entrance Sign
Individual signs/ladders are fixed on the inside of the posts using traditional mortice and tennon joinery methods. This is a stronger construction and looks more traditional. Signs/ladders cannot be changed once fitted.
Oak
All our Oak is Prime A Grade European Oak. Please note that as Oak is a natural timber the grain will vary from sign to sign. In European oak, you will get a variety of grain changes, muldullary rays and small knots.
Iroko
Iroko timber, also known as African teak, is a dense hardwood native to tropical Africa. Its heartwood ranges from yellow to golden or medium brown, darkening over time. Resistant to decay, Iroko is popular for outdoor applications like decking and boat-building. It’s durable, strong, and has a coarse texture with interlocked grain.
Please note : Due to the nature of Iroko, we can not guarantee an exact colour match from the signs to the posts. Over time they will all fade to a dark brown colour before turning grey as all timber does outdoors, due to UV weathering.
Posts
The posts are made from Prime A Grade European Oak and are 60 x 60mm or 75 x 75mm Square or Prime Iroko 80 x 60 or 60 x 60mm square.
Please note : Due to the nature of Iroko, we can not guarantee an exact colour match from the signs to the posts. Over time they will all fade to a dark brown colour before turning grey as all timber does outdoors, due to UV weathering.
A CAD drawing will be emailed after you placed your order to show exactly how your sign will look, once this has been approved we cannot accept returns.
We have selected the most commonly asked fonts as an easy option to pick from, however, if you would like a font we have not got listed then please get in contact to see if we have it available. Images of the fonts to choose from are in the image gallery to view.
Please be aware, the more text you have the smaller it becomes, so choose the correct size!
With this option, not only do we still carve the timber, we then apply 2 coats of paint to the engraved text.
Oiled
Our Oak signs are treated with Rubio Monocoat Woodcream to give protection from the elements.
- Ultimate Protection
- 100% ecological, 0% hazardous substances (VOC)
- Maintenance free
- Water-repellent with long-lasting pearl effect
Please note:
Transparent (clear wood cream), which allows the wood to age naturally, but protects it and makes it water-repellent.
Painted
All our painted signs are finished with Zinnser exterior water-based paint
Our entrance/ladders signs come either fully assembled or easy assembly with screws; fix them into the ground with your preferred method. Stake posts or post holders are the easiest and best to remove in the future.
If installing straight into the ground/earth further treatment processes may be required, we recommend Bitumen paint for this. This may also be required if using post holders as water can ‘sit’ in the bottom of the post/stake holders.
For oiled Oak Signs
The pearl effect (water-beading) will gradually diminish and treatment will be required.
STEP 1. The wood must be cleaned with a mixture of 10% Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner and water. After the use of Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner, clean the surface by using water at low pressure and a soft brush; there is no need for sanding. Consult the accompanying technical data sheet before use.
STEP 2. Stir Rubio WoodCream well and dilute it with Rubio WoodCream Softener in a ratio from 9 parts Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener to max. 1 part Rubio WoodCream and 1 part Rubio WoodCream Softener in order to achieve the desired result.
STEP 3. Apply it carefully and evenly, to the vertical surface with a block brush suitable for water-beading products, in the direction of the wood. Work in zones of 3 to 4 boards in the direction of the wood fibre. It’s best to work wet in wet. Spread out the product in one go with the application brush.

Customer Reviews
Hartwood Timber provided excellent service and high-quality signage for a recent project on my private road in East Sussex. I was tasked with replacing the entrance sign and creating a new directional sign for 10 of the 20 houses on the road. The entrance sign had to meet specific local council criteria, and Hartwood Timber was instrumental in helping me visualize my ideas and gain approval from stakeholders. Sarah, my point of contact, was incredibly helpful in managing this complex project. The craftsmanship and quality of the finished signs are exceptional, and feedback from all homeowners has been overwhelmingly positive. I highly recommend Hartwood Timber and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We were very happy with the advice andservice we received for our 3 high quality signs for our holiday let at Wild Meadow Barn in Norfolk
We recently purchased a wooden sign for the small farmyard development that we live on. The service from Sarah and Rob was second to none. We were kept fully informed on all aspects. Sarah was excellent in amending the design and wording, with 6 neighbours all included with different views. When the product arrived we were blown away by the quality. The sign has made a beautiful addition to our barn development entrance. Would definitely recommend.
