Warning! American Water Spaniel Fence Signs - 9" x 12"

Our aluminum signs are made of powder coated .040" aluminum with a sheet of exterior vinyl. They are weather resistant and work great for interior and exterior usage. Durability is 10 years.

Powder Coated Aluminum (.040"):

Powder coating is widely considered to be the ideal method of decorating and protecting aluminum components, products and parts. By electrostatically spraying and fusing this mixture of pigments and resins onto a surface, you can achieve a high-quality, extremely durable finish that will extend the life of your metal and ensure its continued aesthetic appeal.

With powder coating, there are zero or near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful to humans and the environment alike. The reduced hazardous waste created by powder coating compared to liquid paints also make clean-up easier and allows the coated material to be easily recycled later on.

As far as appearance goes, powder coated aluminum is much more consistent and even than conventional painting methods. Plus, because powder coating can produce a much thicker coat with fewer visible differences (like running or sagging paint), it can be significantly more durable than traditional liquid paint. The flexibility in choices of powdered resins and pigments allow for virtually every color combination - even glosses, metallic finishes, and a variety of different textures.

Vinyl (Orajet):

The vinyl that is used is for general signage and other medium-term flat indoor and outdoor applications with a thickness of 2.75 mil. Once the vinyl is peeled from the backing, it is adhere to the aluminum with a grey, solvent-based, permanent adhesive.

Aluminum Stakes (24" in Length):

These aluminum stakes are offered as a pre-mounted option for our 6" x 6" and Badge Shape Signs. They are made of rugged .065 gauge aluminum to stand up against wind, rain, string trimmers and occasional bumps by the lawn mower. They area mounted to our signs with (2) stainless steel rivets. They're beveled at one end to go in the ground more easily. These U-Channel stakes include a protective cap.

We are pleased with the quality and durability of our products that we offer. If properly cared for, our aluminum sign or vinyl decal/sticker will last for years to come. To ensure that it does, we are excited to offer a little help in installing your new sign.

Aluminum Yard Signs:

All of our aluminum signs includes pre-drilled with 3/16" diameter holes that assist in mounting to a fence, side of a wall or mailbox. The pre-drilled holes are placed in the center of the signs, so they can be mounted to a stake/post. The 12" x 3" signs includes pre-drilled holes in the four corners of the sign. Please use stainless steel fasteners (if available) for mounting your new sign.

Our aluminum signs are cornered with a 3/8" corner radius in all four corners. This eliminates pointy corners. 

Stakes and posts are available at most hardware stores, such as: Home Depot and Lowes.

Our 6" x 6" and Badge Shape aluminum signs are offered with a pre-mounted option to a 2' aluminum stake that can simply pushed into a soft surface.

Vinyl Decals/Stickers:

1. First you want to make sure that the surface is clean.

2. In a spray bottle, mix a water solution with water and a few drops of dish soap. Shake well.

3. Peel vinyl from paper backing through picking one of the corners. Once the vinyl is peeled from the paper backing, spray water solution to the back of the vinyl.

4. Spray water solution to cleaned surface. (This will keep it from adhering immediately and give you time to reposition ifnecessary.)

5. Apply the vinyl sticker to the surface. Then take a hard item like a squeegee or a plastic card and rub it gently over the surface of the decal towards the edge. This allows the excess water solution to be removed.

6. Rub it a few times making sure there are no bubbles.

7. Once completed, wipe with a dry towel.

American Water Spaniels are muscular midsize gundogs, not flashy in looks or performance, and recognizable by a luscious brown coat that is either tightly curled or wavy. Bred to work the icy waters and marshy banks of the Great Lakes region, these spaniels are ideally outfitted for the job: The coat is dense and waterproof, the feet are thickly padded, the toes are webbed, and the body is small enough for the dog to hop in and out of a skiff without rocking the boat. The breed's admirers describe a merry, intelligent, and versatile spaniel suited to a variety of dog sports. As hunters, they combine the working traits of spaniels and retrievers. The key to the American Water Spaniel's happiness is activity, especially alongside their adored human. An underemployed dog can be barky and destructive. Our American Water Spaniel signs are a fantastic way to show case your American Water Spaniel.
