Square Posts
The Telespar Square Post System consists of square, perforated, welded steel tubing, in eight sizes and three gauges. Fully punched holes or "knock-outs" on all four sides allow signs to be mounted back to back and on adjacent sides.
The unique manufacturing method used to produce Telespar tubing permits tubular sections of different sizes to telescope into the next larger size making adjustment, reinforcement and splicing fast and easy. The square shape also provides superior windload capabilities and torsional stability.
Fully Punched Posts
Fully Punched Telespar Square Posts with 7/16" pre-punched holes on 1" centers are the standard against which all other signposts are measured. Precision manufactured from the highest-quality steel, Telespar posts are corner-welded to allow smooth telescoping action - a key to the system's versatility and ease of installation.
- Easy, safe installation by hand or power
- Convenient sign mounting before installation
- Superior torsional strength
- Versatile, four-sided sign mounting at any height
- Fast, economical replacement of damaged sign posts
- FHWA-approved yielding capability

Installation
- Drive a minimum 30" piece of 12 gauge Telespar (anchor) into the soil until only 1-2 inches are left exposed. For a 2-piece anchor, use a 18" piece of tubing for a sleeve, one size larger than the anchor. Make sure the anchor and sleeve holes are aligned.
- Attach the sign to the post at the desired height using drive rivets or bolts.
- Insert the signpost, which is one size smaller than the anchor, about 6-8 inches in the anchor base.
- Bolt the signpost to the anchor assembly with a corner bolt.
