Round Sign  Posts are exactly as you would picture them to look like, just a round steel tube.  These posts tend to be the most economically efficient posts as they are low cost and fairly practical. Signs are typically attached directly through the post or clamped onto the outer parameter of the post allowing for convenience with assembly.

Square Sign Posts are similar to that of their counterparts with the round shape, but have a square shape allowing for more durability. These posts tend to be much stronger and there is plenty you can do when mounting a sign onto this type of post. You are also allowed to mount more signs onto the post as there are 4 different sides you have access to. These reasons are why this post is sometimes more expensive than their counterparts.
