Comments: This triangular spinning sign was created to help organize Lowe's Garden Center departments. It can stand up to wind gusts without falling over -- it simply spins -- and the three-sided graphic panel guarantees that the appropriate message is always visible. The unit is created using fabricated, telescoping steel poles on a powder-coated base, extruded vacuum-formed ABS graphic card, screenprinted ABS sheet and three-color line art.
