Harper Leon Dr. is the street on the sample in the photo, under the number 14208, and that’s the kind of layout the Penbrook Grande 2-line yard plaque is for: number on top, street below, on a sign scaled for a normal front yard. It’s the mid-size two-line Penbrook in the Signature Collection.

Two lines and their limits

The first line of the Penbrook Grande 2-line yard plaque takes up to five characters at 3 inches tall. The second takes up to 14 characters at 1.25 inches. Spaces and periods count, so a 14-character street name is right at the limit and anything longer needs a shorter form. Both lines are part of the casting.

Finish choices for the Penbrook Grande 2-line yard plaque

Pick from Forged Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris or Bronze/Gold. The sample is Bronze/Gold. Forged Copper is the warmest of the four; Bronze Verdigris has a green cast. Whichever you choose, the sign is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, so it won’t rust, and the all-weather protective coating over it carries a five-year warranty.

When to step up

With 3-inch numbers, this size suits a sign that sits within a comfortable distance of the road. If your house is far back, the Penbrook Extra Grande two-line version has 4-inch numbers and a taller street line. For most lots, though, the Penbrook Grande 2-line yard plaque is the right balance of size and detail. Also think about where the sign will stand relative to the driveway entrance, since that’s where most people slow down to read it.

Since the text is cast permanently, proofread both lines before placing the order. Personalized pieces are final once ordered; they can’t be modified, cancelled or returned. Browse the full Signature Collection for the Leroux alternative, or see the wall-mounted address plaques if you’d rather put the number on the house.
