Pedestals & Plant Stakes

Pedestals & Plant Stakes for Self-Supporting Materials
(1/2” & thicker sign materials)

BEST-EXhibits pedestals are for sign materials which are 1/2″ and thicker and do not require the support or protection of our sign frames.  Pedestals are similar in appearance to Framed Exhibit Bases, but your sign attaches to a plate or angle which is welded to the post(s).  Pedestals will have at least four holes which match up to the inserts in the back side of the 1/2″ laminate and are sized to accept sign manufacturers supplied 1/4″ hardware. Templates of the hole alignment can be furnished to assure your sign and pedestal will match.  Plate sizes over 12”x12” consist of a 2-piece configuration, a post or sleeve with plate and the larger backer plate.  The backer plate is attached by the end user with supplied hardware to complete the Pedestal assembly. 

All mounting hardware for the panel itself is supplied by the panel manufacturer.
