Our Yard Arm Post, also commonly known as a colonial post, swing post, or hangman post, is one of the most common yard signs used by residential real estate agents. This L-shaped sign is the most quintessential signs associated with the real estate industry, and for good reason! The post is designed to be outstanding, but not imposing on the client’s lawn.
The height of the post stands at is 5 feet, the perfect height for potential clients to view your brokerage’s name and phone number.
The sign that hangs from the cross arm moves and sways with the wind, creating movement and helping to catch the eye of any passersby.
And the best part? It installs in minutes – NO TOOLS REQUIRED.
FAQ's
"Are the Yard Arm Post and sign sold as a set or separately?"

Post Care
Our Post Kits are built to withstand the elements, but if they get dirty, don’t worry! Here are a few easy steps to clean your post kit and keep it looking great for years:
• Washing Your Post Kit: Simply wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge (avoid harsh scrubbing pads). This will clean your post without scratching it.
• Spot Cleaning: For spot cleaning, Windex or Lysol spray work very well and won’t harm the plastic.
• Rinsing Off: You can hose your sign down with water! Our PVC plastic material won’t rust.
• Drying: You can either let your post kit air dry in the sun or gently wipe it with a soft towel or paper towel.
