Temporary sign supports using bolted telespar posts?

Temporary sign supports using bolted telespar posts?

(OP)
Well, I tried this over in the T.E. forum for over a week and got zip. So now I'm trying here.

I'm looking for a NCHRP 350- or MASH-certified temporary sign stand that uses bolted connections.

We have plenty of telespar tubing, so I was thinking of using this one, but our shop welder can't weld the galvanized tubing.

Thanks!

RE: Temporary sign supports using bolted telespar posts?

Why can't your welder weld galvanized material?  Just requires a little ventilation...not really a big deal.

If you go bolted only, then you'll need knee braces in each direction.
