Looks great Kevin, but I agree 200% with Terry. That chain will be the death of it in a windstorm. The chain will hold the sign in a position where it will produce maximum wind loads, versus being able to swing and minimize them.

LOL No, the Fry is inside in the corner where it belongs!

You guys might be right on the chain thing! I was watching the wind push it a little the other day, and it kind of pulls down on the bottom of the sign frame and could possibly damage it? This is the setup used on it when I found it. I saw another one that used a different retainer on the bottom with a spring affair, so I thought they must need some sort of retainer on the sign part. Common sense is starting to tell me otherwise tho. I think maybe I'd better get up there and get the chain off before I leave for Iowa Gas!

Mick, check with your Doctor. I think there's a cure for that.
