We ordered a monument sign for the entrance to our cottage community. It looks like stone – solid – but the installation took only one day. Residents are happy with it.

We installed it near the entrance of our business center, close to the main road, so visibility mattered. Setup was straightforward and took about two hours with two people. It made the area look more organized. No one believes it is foam – most people think it’s stone until we tell them.
