Telespar®, the original telescoping breakaway sign support system, holds several distinct advantages over the competition.

The Telespar Advantage.

Performance Tested: The Industry Standard


Save on Installation


Decide on Safety


Demand Quality


Stocked Distributors


The quality of North American made Telespar sign posts help to reduce costs over the lifetime of the product. Superior corrosion resistant coatings and quality steel make the difference.


Backed by strong distribution teams across North America. Telespar is highly available in Canada and the USA.


The Telespar System was the first to be used effectively in a yielding breakaway concept for small sign-support systems.


Telespar sign posts are installed easily by using either a direct embedded method or breakaway anchor system.


Using the recommended installation method, street signs are securely fastened to posts with rivets or bolts, and the square post design provides greater torsional and wind load stability.

Generic square posts with holes are not safe to use on North American roads.

Trust Telespar.

If your square perforated galvanized post arrived in a shipping container, it is likely uncertified for use on North American roadways. Installing an uncertified post places lives at risk because their behaviour upon impact has not been crash tested.


Ask for certified Telespar® by name. Our network of authorized resellers will ensure that the product you are installing is authentic, has been crash tested & is approved for safe use on our roadways.


Telespar sign posts are made of galvanized steel and feature perforated holes (⅞”) at 1” centers on all four sides through the entire length of the post. The telescoping tubing and square shape allow signs to be mounted on all four sides. Telespar sign pots are available in various widths and lengths.

RELIABILITY & PERFORMANCE

Engineered for Safety.
