In addition, the square design allows the user to easily install posts into the ground that would otherwise require digging or driving from a raised platform. Perforated Square Tube comes in widths from 1-1/2”, 1-3/4”, 2”, 2-1/4” and 2-1/2”. 7/16” Diameter holes on 1” hole centers. Galvanized steel conforming to ASTM Specification A653 DES G90.

In-line, galvanized zinc coating per AASHTO M-120, followed by a conversion coating and a clear organic topcoat. These different sizes allow different size pieces to be “sleeved” into one another. With this system, an anchor post (2-1/4” x 36” or 2-1/4” x 30”) is driven into the soil with a “drive cap” using a sledge hammer or power driver. The anchor post is left slightly above or flush with the ground. The installer can then insert a 2”x 10’ square tube (or any desired length) sign p ost into the 2-1/4” anchor post.Square Tube Signposts are stocked in 10 foot and 12 foot lengths. If you need to order another size, please call for assistance.10 Gauge = .135 Wall Thickness 12 Gauge = .105 Wall Thickness 14 Gauge = .083 Wall Thickness
