This outdoor "Please No Potty Breaks" wood sign is hand made and painted by myself in my workshop in New Jersey. I use 3/4" white pine for the sign making it nice and sturdy. I hand letter and paint the sign using an exterior semi-gloss house paint and several coats of a clear acrylic sealer. I've attached a pointed composite stake made from recycled materials. I use 4 exterior screws to attach the stake. The composite material the stake is made from will not rot. The sign will hold-up in the wettest conditions. It is a small sign measuring 11 1/2 inches wide by 12 inches tall. It is a friendly reminder for all the local pet walkers. I'm told it works well!
