Structures: Modular, Site-Specific and Custom

Terrabilt offers 18 structure types in a variety of sizes. Sign programs utilize different structure types that build upon modular panel displays and site-specific applications.

Modular System

The Terrabilt modules are built with 16” horizontal increments and 12” vertical increments. The smallest module is 16” x 12”. This affords flexibility of multi-panel displays at orientation kiosks, within campgrounds, at trailheads, water access points, and more.

The system is ideal for posting more than one panel such as a map with instructions, information and bulletin cabinet or brochure holder. It can carry displays of differently sized panels without sacrificing orderliness. In the modular system, panels can be updated without replacing an entire display. For seasonal postings, a three-season message may be printed on one side and the winter message on the other.

Receiver Panel

Many structures utilize a receiver panel to secure •one or more modules to a single post or a larger, more complex assembly such as Double Post Outboard or Kiosk. Receiver panels have threaded inserts, precisely installed which allow for the attachment of sign panel and accessory modules using retainers and tamper resistant fasteners.

Retainer System

When using the modular approach, sign panels and accessories are secured to posts or structures using our sturdy machined aluminum retainers along with tamper resistant fasteners. These durable powder coated fasteners with built in locking feature keep panels and accessories secure.

Site Specific Applications

Terrabilt offers a group of site-specific applications built to classic proportions for parks and preserves. Assemblies are available in various sizes with the exception of the little trail waypoint post. Large identification signs are sized to customer requirements as branding and legend size requires. Sign types in this group include:
