Canadian Shield Custom Cottage Sign, Surface Mount
The name of the place cut into steel against a Canadian Shield outline, so guests and the delivery driver find the turn instead of driving on past it.
This is the surface mount version, so it sits flat against a wall, a post, or a gate board. Choose the font from the overlay and send us the name. Once we draw it up, we size the lettering to suit how long the name is, so the finished proportions shift a little from the preview. Same font, sized for the best fit.
Every piece is cut from 12-gauge steel, which is 3mm thick. Most online sign shops use 14 or 16-gauge, roughly half the thickness. Ours gets powder-coated after cutting, and that finish is rated around 20 years in direct sun before it needs redoing.
Nothing gets cut until you have seen it. A proof comes back within 3 days, and we change it until you are happy. Once you approve it, figure 3 to 4 weeks to your door: about two weeks in production, a week longer if we are in the busy season, then about a week for shipping depending on where you live.
We have been building these in Manitoba since 2019. Shipping is free anywhere in Canada, and we ship to the United States too, with the rate calculated at checkout.
Send us the name and the font you like, along with the colour you want, and we will send a design proof for your okay.
You're in good hands
Common questions
How long until I get my sign?
For custom work you will have a design proof to review within 3 days. Once you approve it, the sign takes about 3 to 4 weeks to reach your door, roughly 2 weeks in production plus about a week in transit, and a week longer in busy season. If you need it by a holiday or a specific date, tell us and we will let you know what is possible.
What sizes can you make?
We build to your size. Whether it is a small house number or a large sign for the shop or the gate, tell us the dimensions and we will design around them. No project is too big or too small.
Will it hold up outside?
Yes. Our signs are cut from 12-gauge steel, which is noticeably sturdier than the thinner 14-gauge most online stores use, then powder-coated. Powder-coated steel can last around 20 years in direct sun before it needs redoing.
Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
Shipping is free across Canada.
Not quite what you need?
Tell us your size, your wording, or your own idea. We design it, you approve a proof, then you pay. Free shipping across Canada.
