On The Fence ...

Our Palm Springs numbers add modern style on this beautiful wood fence. We love the alternating sizes of the boards for visual interest, and the choice of our modern Palm Springs font. Together they make what could be a ordinary fence into something extraordinary! 

"Pro Tip: When installing on a wood fence, you may need to adjust the length of the studs you use."

Be sure to take into account the thickness of your boards or slats. You can purchase shorter or longer steel studs at your local home improvement store. Be sure to match the diameter of the studs included with your order.

If you can, consider a larger size for site elements and monuments. Our 12" and 15" numbers and letters enhance visibility for visitors and delivery drivers. They area also a good scale for the proportions of these types of exterior details.
