Canadian Shield Custom Cottage Sign, Surface Mount

$330.00

The name of the place cut into steel against a Canadian Shield outline, so guests and the delivery driver find the turn instead of driving on past it.

This is the surface mount version, so it sits flat against a wall, a post, or a gate board. Choose the font from the overlay and send us the name. Once we draw it up, we size the lettering to suit how long the name is, so the finished proportions shift a little from the preview. Same font, sized for the best fit.

Every piece is cut from 12-gauge steel, which is 3mm thick. Most online sign shops use 14 or 16-gauge, roughly half the thickness. Ours gets powder-coated after cutting, and that finish is rated around 20 years in direct sun before it needs redoing.

Nothing gets cut until you have seen it. We send a proof and change it until you are happy.

Send us the name and the font you like, along with the colour you want, and we will send a design proof for your okay.

    Fanastic! We got exactly what we asked for! Thanks Ryan!
  • Ashley Verified buyer

    Ryan did a great job communicating and fabricating for the custom wall art that I wanted made. He was understanding and we did multiple revisions until I was happy with the way things looked prior to cutting the metal. There was an issue with the coating, but he provided a return label and it got fixed and came back perfectly. Speedy process and I would recommend!

    Ordered 7 signs for my optometry clinic and they turned out amazing. Customer service is excellent and responses are always so prompt. Ryan was so helpful and patient during the design process and changes we requested. The signs were made and shipped quickly and they’re exactly what we wanted. They feel like a heavy, thick, high quality metal and the installation was so easy. Thanks again!

    Working with Ryan at Bear Country Metalworks was a pleasure. Our custom sign arrived quickly and was exactly as designed. The process was seamless - highly recommend if looking for a custom sign.

Common questions

How long until I get my sign?

For custom work you will have a design proof to review within 3 days. Once you approve it, the sign takes about 3 to 4 weeks to reach your door, roughly 2 to 3 weeks in production plus about a week in transit, and a week longer in busy season. If you need it by a holiday or a specific date, tell us and we will let you know what is possible.

What sizes can you make?

We build to your size. Whether it is a small house number or a large sign for the shop or the gate, tell us the dimensions and we will design around them. No project is too big or too small.

Will it hold up outside?

Yes. Our signs are cut from 12-gauge steel, which is noticeably sturdier than the thinner 14-gauge most online stores use, then powder-coated. Powder-coated steel can last around 20 years in direct sun before it needs redoing.

Where do you ship, and what does it cost?

Shipping is free across Canada.
