Project Ideas

Business

Pre-built Post + Accent Kit (DIY Kits)

Sell complete DIY kits: powder-coated 42" posts pre-drilled for lighting, mailbox mounts, planters or trellis panels, plus stainless hardware and instructions. Target DIY homeowners and small contractors. Offer customization (color, pre-cut mounting holes) for a premium. Kits reduce installation time for customers and create recurring accessory sales.


Event & Pop-up Post Rentals

Offer lightweight top-mount posts as rentable stanchions for weddings, markets, and pop-ups—add interchangeable signage, rope, or fabric drapes. The aluminum posts are easy to transport and install on temporary platforms, allowing fast turnover and low storage costs. Market to event planners and venue managers.


Specialty Deck & Railing Installation Service

Use the posts as a core product for a niche installation service focused on modern, low-maintenance railings and deck upgrades. Promote the powder-coated durability and easy install to homeowners and property managers. Package upsells like integrated lighting, custom finishes, or planter attachments to increase ticket size.


Integrated Outdoor Lighting & Signage Kits

Assemble and sell finished products that combine the post with LED lighting, solar modules, or branded signage for small businesses (cafés, boutiques) and property owners. Offer installation or ship-as-kit options. Emphasize weather resistance and clean wiring concealed inside the post as a selling point.


Landscape Designer & Contractor Supply Program

Create a B2B supply line offering bulk pricing, custom lengths/finishes, and accessory bundles (planter brackets, mailbox mounts, trellis panels) to landscape designers and builders. Provide sample packs and quick-ship options so professionals can spec the posts into projects repeatedly.

Creative

Modern Outdoor Lantern Post

Turn the 42" top-mount post into a sleek deck or pathway lantern support. Mount a weather-rated lantern or sconce to the post top, run low-voltage or solar wiring down the hollow interior, and secure the post to a deck or concrete pad. The lightweight aluminum and powder-coated finish keep it rust-free and easy to move for seasonal rearranging.


Vertical Pocket Garden Column

Use the post as the structural spine for a vertical herb or succulent tower. Bolt or hang small cedar or metal planter pockets around the rectangular profile in a staggered pattern; route irrigation tubing inside the post for neat watering. The slim footprint is perfect for small patios or balcony gardens.


Minimalist Mailbox & Parcel Post

Create a contemporary mailbox post by mounting a modern mailbox or parcel box to the top or side of the 42" post. Add accessory hooks for packages or a small shelf. The powder-coated finish protects mail from weather and offers a clean, low-maintenance curb appeal upgrade.


Sculptural Trellis Column

Fashion a decorative trellis by attaching laser-cut metal panels, metal wire grids, or wooden slats to the post sides to guide climbing plants. Paint or powder-coat panels to match. The rectangular post gives distinct planes for creative panel layouts and shadow play.


Modular Privacy/Wind Screen Support

Use multiple posts as the vertical supports for a modular privacy or wind screen on a deck or balcony. Slot-in horizontal slats, fabric panels, or corrugated sheets between posts for a customizable barrier. The top-mount design makes it easy to retrofit onto existing deck surfaces without digging footings.
