Sign structures must be designed to withstand several different environmental factors at once. The first criteria that must me addressed are the load and stress factors exterted by the force of the wind. Windload and wind pressure are the most common cause for failure of a sign structure.

A sign structure can basically be broken down into three parts:

1) A foundation.

2) A structural support or supports.

3) The sign itself.

Each of the three components has to be designed for the specific dimensions and location of your sign. Some factors include:

Overall height above ground

Size of the sign or signs

Predictable wind pressure as determined by your geographic location

Soil type and/or quality

Other environmental or design factors affecting the structure
