From: Dingo on 27 Mar 2010 03:18 Where is a good place to go (Sydney) to purchase lengths of reflective tape suitable for affixing to painted wood? My carport (one of three of a external group of three) is at the end of a short, sloping common driveway, and some idiot managed to bash into one of the pillars and nearly snap it in two last Monday night (promptly repaired, thank goodness). Apparently the whole damn thing was moved slightly, but luckily didn't collapse. A bloody big reflective "Slow Down" sign wouldn't go astray either.

Or any car parts shop, reflectors that you would use on a trailer would also work. It would also be a good idea to build the carport posts out of something a lot more substantial so they are not as easily damaged, sounds like it could also use some diagonal bracing. Daryl

Or pinch a small sign local and peal the black off and get the rest vynal cut for your wording. Ive a spare one in my front yard you can have, local kids threw it over the fence last weekend and its still there in the bushes. ;o)
