Mounting Bulletin Boards or Letter Boards can be confusing, if you aren't sure what you'll be receiving. The picture below shows a simple image of the hardware included when you order a board from us. This hardware is included for both indoor or outdoor units.
Basically, you will receive two cleats, which mount to the top of the board on the back, and two L brackets, which mount to the bottom of the board for support. You will receive the screws you need to attach the cleats and L brackets to the board, but you'll need to get the hardware to fasten the hardware into your mounting surface.
These boards mount well into cement block, brick, stone or drywall. Uneven surfaces can be challenging, and it might be helpful to mount the board to a piece of plywood first for the best support.
If mounting the sign to a wall isn't what you had in mind, you can order posts and make the sign freestanding. These posts are 2 inches x 2 inches x 96 inches and made of the same high quality extruded aluminum as the cabinet. The hardware to attach the board to the posts will be included with your shipment, and the holes are already pre-drilled to attach the posts. We recommend that you sink the posts into the ground at least three feet. The picture below shows an example of a letter board mounted with posts.

Letter board panels can bring an old, dull cabinet back to life. These open face panels might be hard to find locally or online, but Alphabet Signs will do any size from 12 inches by 8 inches to 96 inches by 48 inches in felt or vinyl material. The panel is cut to the quarter inch increment, so it's no problem to make a custom cut panel that is 55 1/2 inches by 25 3/4 inches, for example.

These small boards are 12 inches wide by 8 inches high and are great for fun events like photo booths, weddings or parties, but they can always serve serious purposes for correctional facilities or prisons.

Larry Kontny, Secretary Treasurer of the Magnolia Terrace Homeowner Association in Mont Verde, Florida, made the mistake of purchasing a poor quality bulletin board last year. "The back rotted out of the first bulletin board we purchase", said Kontny, "and water got inside, and of course, the water and the humidity ruined all the letters."

Letter board replacement panels are hard-to-find items that Alphabet Signs can turn around in about 5 business days. There's sometimes confusion about how pricing works on these panels because customers are charged by the incremental square foot.
