Description

What’s the difference between Ladder signs and Entrance signs?

With ladder signs, the signs are fixed onto the front of the posts with screws, whereas for entrance signs the posts are fixed on the edge of the sign.

Oak

All our wooden signs are made from hand-picked Prime A Grade European Oak, the text is carved out using our CNC machine creating the perfect finish. 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, medullary rays and small knots.

Posts

The posts are made from Prime A Grade European Oak and are either 40 x 40mm, 60 x 60mm or 75 x 75mm square.
40mm posts are only suitable for shorter ladders with a few signs.

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

Ours 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 Zinsser Allcoat exterior water-based paint

Our ladder signs are easily screwed to the posts, 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

After a while 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.

If you want a different design layout, size or shape, then feel free to ask. Simply email a basic design to use and we can create a CAD image to show how it could look. We can also add pictures on request.

Delivery is usually 10-14 working days from confirmation of the image but in busy periods this may be longer. This information will be emailed to you with your CAD drawing.

Bledington Platinum Jubilee Playground

We were delighted with both the service and quality of the impressive oak sign and brass donor plaque created by Hartwood for our newly updated Bledington village playground. The playground is in a rural setting and the new equipment is made of eco-friendly sustainable wood which the Hartwood signs complement beautifully. We can highly recommend this company who also went the extra mile at short notice to deliver the signs in time for our opening event.

Great service, communication and quality

Hartwood Timber gave great service, helping me design my signs. I was sent a picture of them before the order was placed so I was confident they'd look exactly as I wanted. Communication was excellent throughout...thanks Sarah! When they arrived (delivery was prompt) they looked even better than I was expecting. They are beautiful quality and I'd use their service again without hesitation. Many thanks Team Hartwood!

Beautiful ladder Estate sign

We’ve just had our beautiful ladder sign installed to direct visitors when on our rural estate (including commercial offices) and - it. is. stunning! We’ve already had numerous positive comments.

Robert was kind and patient as he dealt with our last minutes changes, including helping us design a simple fresh modern logo to include on the sign, which added an extra touch of beauty. We will be back again for more matching signs for the remainder of the Estate in due course. Thank you so much!
