A clear address sign helps visitors and couriers find the right entrance. We make personalised Corten steel signs in New Zealand for rural driveways, lifestyle blocks and homes set back from the road.

Shop personalised house numbers or ask us about a custom address sign.

Choose what your driveway needs

• Just the number. Pick from our Flax, Tūī or Fantail house number designs. All three come in 800, 1,000 and 1,200 mm widths. Heights vary by design.
• Number and property name. Send us your exact wording and a photo of the entrance. We can work through a custom layout with you, including space for a street name if that’s what you need.
• A shared driveway. If people need to choose between two properties, show us where the driveway branches. We can discuss a sign with clear wording and an arrow that points the right way. See our custom directional sign.
• A number on your letterbox. If the letterbox is in the clearest spot, our modular Corten letterbox has optional personalised side plaques.

Make the number easy to read

Take a photo from the direction visitors usually come. A number that looks big beside the gate can disappear against a hedge or fence when viewed from further back. Give the number room and keep any extra wording secondary. If the background is busy, compare the stainless steel and matte black backing options on our house number designs.

Measure the flat space where the sign will sit and tell us what you’re fixing it to. If you’re replacing an existing rural address marker, check with your council before removing it.

What we can make for your driveway

We can work from a rough sketch, a photo of the entrance or a list of what needs to go on the sign. Here are a few layouts to get you started.

• One sign for a shared driveway. Put each address or property name on its own line, with an arrow beside it. For example, 24A ←, 24B ↑ and 24C → can all fit on one square panel, sized to suit the spot.
• A property name and number together. Make the number the easiest thing to spot from the road, with the property or street name underneath. There’s room to discuss adding a simple motif, such as flax or a native bird.
• A matching set for the gate and the fork. Use an address panel at the road, then repeat the same lettering on a smaller arrow sign where the driveway splits.

Send us your wording and arrow directions as visitors will see them. Even a quick sketch is enough to start a mock-up.

Tell us about your entrance

Send the exact number and wording, a photo from the approach and the width you have available. Let us know if it’s a gift and when you need it. For a custom sign we’ll work through the layout and send a mock-up so you can check the wording before we make it.
