Whitehall 14141 "Cast Aluminum, Durable Wall or Lawn Mounting Private Drive with Acorn Design Sign, Black/Gold

1.) THE DRIVEWAY PROBLEM WE HAVE (skip to my point # 3 for the actual sign review): We have a 500 foot driveway in the middle of nowhere (in the sticks with no nearby neighbors). We constantly have people with bad GPS units being directed to take a turn onto a back road (that is actually after our driveway entry), but instead they turn into our driveway, and drive all the way up to the back of our property where there is a barn. They then sit there perplexed for minutes, before turning around and leaving.(Our biggest concern is that they go up the driveway at high speed and then down the driveway at high speed, and we sometimes have chickens free-ranging and in the driveway at the time).2.) A BIG HELP: ..... Is this sign.3.) THIS REVIEW: This is really a great quality sign. Its very heavy gauge cast-metal type material. It has some good solid & sturdy weight to it. The paint coatings (both gold and black) are real quality thick enamel. Yes, this sign costs more than the cheap thin aluminum signs, but it is so much nicer and classier looking. (My second pictures is a side view of the sign to show the thickness of it).We are definitely SUPER happy with this sign and highly recommend it to others.UPDATE: Over 1.5 year later and this sign still looks as shiny & new as the day we installed it. The gold is bright and the black paint is still deep black (nothing has faded or aged on it) !!!4.) HOW MOUNTED: We wanted it at a "car-driver" eye-level. So we installed one of those inexpensive dark green metal fence line posts (that we rattle-can painted flat black in color). This is a very nice & sharp looking set-up and at a better height that we need it to be at (its posted towards the end of the our long driveway).Hope this review helps. I will try to add pics soon.

So disappointed. :(I have property with a few hundred foot drive through the woods and wanted a nice sign that wouldn’t seem rude but would notify people to not come down.This sign is facing north so it doesn’t see much sun and it has only been outside for a couple months in pretty good Florida weather....not hot and not cold. I noticed today the paint is literally pulling off. It looks like if I pulled it I could take the whole thing off. So disappointed with the price I paid I thought it would hold up longer.

This is a good-looking and well manufactured sign. Unfortunately, it attaches to the stake with only one screw at the bottom, so keeping it looking straight will be basically impossible because the sign and stake don't mate snugly. It includes extra screws to mount it on a fence or gate post, but they are such inferior quality that both snapped off. With some improvisation, you can work around this, and it will look excellent.

I gave this to a friend as a gift. She loved it! It’s very elegant looking and doesn’t scream “highway sign”. It also has some weight to it so it feels substantial and not flimsy. As suggested in the comments section, I told her to not to use the stake included but to attach it to a tall stake or tree on the left side of the driveway about 5 feet above ground so drivers see it...especially in the land of SUV’s and trucks.

This is surprisingly classy, well made, and looks great.It comes with a small black stake that holds the sign about 20 inches off the ground. if you want a higher stake, you will have to buy one separate from this one.Overall appearance is nice. It looks imposing without threatening.Well worth the money

Great looking little sign, but it comes with a very short stake for putting in the ground. I'll have to find another pole to mount it at eye level for drivers that assume my driveway is a public road. I can't speak to how it weathers yet. I'm hoping to get at least a few years out of it.

Yea, they were nice, just wish I could have them in a larger size. I mounted them to actual road sign posts. The hardware was not nearly long enough. Had to make bolt longers with another bolt and a nut. It worked. Now, after the fact, I'm getting theft proof bolts the proper size.

Great purchase to define your driveway. We put it on a post just above eye level at the beginning of the driveway, but might change the location from one side to the other as we adjust to the direction we look when approaching.
