large entrance sign

Post by Veracut »

I need to build 2 arched driveway entrance signs with a business name on both. They need to be 14 feet off the ground for horse trailer clearence. Im thinking about using 6x6 square tubing for vertical supports. does anyone know how big a footer would need to be for bolt anchoring into concrete pads? I think the sign will be cut out of 11 guage steel with a top, bottom and back for an enclosed design with interior lighting. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
