Reviews
Applied the vinyl sticker to a hoarding near the dig. It’s stuck well and hasn’t started peeling, despite foot traffic and muddy boots nearby. Simple and effective warning.
Picked the Correx board for a short-term excavation area. Lightweight yet sturdy, and it’s stayed in place through a few rainy spells. Does its job properly without any fuss.
Used the rigid plastic sign next to a deep trench and it’s really held its own. Clear, bold lettering that’s easy to spot even in dull light — exactly what’s needed for warning passers-by.
Fixed the rigid plastic version with cable ties onto fencing beside the excavation. Feels solid and hasn’t moved, even when machinery’s rumbling past. Very reliable for safety.
