These economically priced outdoor sign letters are made of special plywood called Medium Density Overlay. The adhesive holding the ply together is weather resistant and will not warp in varying temperatures. Router cut wooden letters can be made in any font and allow for custom logos to be made to your specifications. Optional stud mounting provides an unblemished lettering and includes a template for simple installation and alignment. The face is pre-primed to produce an even surface for easy painting. To order letters already coated in primer and highly durable automotive grade paint, please see our Painted MDO Letters.
Our MDO letters do not come with any mounting hardware. Mounting studs are available for an additional charge. These studs are threaded aluminum prongs that stick out of the back of the letter. The mounting template will display the location of the studs and is used to drill holes in the wall where the lettering is mounted. Alternative mounting options are heavy duty adhesive or drilling screws through the face of the letter. Ships in 5 business days.
Shipping Note: Letters exceeding 26 inches in height may be subject to actual shipping charges which may be more than what is shown in the shopping cart at the conclusion of your order. We will contact you if actual shipping charges apply to your order.
Font Height
The letter height you order is based on the uppercase letter "A" of the font you specify.
Depending on the font, some uppercase/lowercase letters may be shorter or taller than the height
you specify on the order form so they will look proportionate to each other. Therefore, you may
receive some of your lettering in different dimensions than the letter height ordered. If all
lettering is ordered in lower case, we still scale the lettering to an uppercase "A" which will
make most of the letters smaller than what was ordered. Please contact us if you would like to
size your lettering differently from our standards. Please see examples below:
Fractions: Order the next size up and indiciate in the comments field the exact height you want your letters.
For example, to order 2 5/8 Inch height, order 3 Inch and write in the comments "Cut at 2 5/8 Inches"
