Due to the custom nature of building your own sign, DKOI does not provide brackets or poles aside from any pre-made kits we have developed. Consult with a local metal fabricator to make metal brackets for your sign.
ELECTRICAL
The customer is responsible for providing electrical service to the sign. Permanent signs require a dedicated circuit. A permanent sign can be wired to run using 120V, 208V, or 240V.
Here is one example of how to determine power requirements: Some DKOI products utilize an LED cabinet that is approximately 4′ x 4′. The Maximum power draw for that cabinet is 1,000 Watts. If the sign is 4′ x 8′ double sided and uses the cabinet in this example, there would be 4 cabinets, a total of 4000W.
Each sign may vary in power usage. Consult with a local certified electrician for proper installation.

The customer is responsible for providing footings and cement. Consult with a local certified contractor for a proper foundation for your sign.
