The sign poles were made from steel tubing with a flange on the bottom which bolted to a circular timber base 800mm in diameter. The sign support arms and decorative scrolls were also steel.
The shop signs themselves were printed on stick-on vinyl and applied to Alucabond backing boards with holes drilled to accept the hooks on the support arms. Alucabond (an aluminium composite board) was chosen because of its strength and smooth surface to attach the vinyl signage.
