How far apart should PRIME Classic Posts be placed?⌄
Spacing depends on rope length and the desired amount of swag. Plan the post layout and rope drop together so the boundary looks intentional and provides the required guidance.

Selected compatible sign frames are available. Confirm frame compatibility with the specific PRIME top style before ordering.
What warranty is included?⌄
PRIME Classic Posts are backed by a three-year limited warranty.
