Be more specific. Are we talking neon?

Felix,

here in Massachusetts we have a sign that is a land mark for the Hill Top Steak House, it has to be AT LEAST a 40 feet high cactus with signs and all decked out in Neon. I do hope someone else would come forward and say who built it.

Check it out

Cool cactus

I have no idea who built that thing...

But its a wonderful opportunity to do up a creative project... real simple really...

The cactus could be fabricated for you by a local welding shop... its just pipe... probably would need to be engineered.

The rest is normal fabrication and creative painting.

It's a chance to maek some good money and build your reputation as a creative problem solver.

Thanks for the responses, guys. The client said he wants it with circus/fair type lighting. Chasing, flashing, etc. I figure some neon is an order.

My metal man could probably do them but its a little too far for him to install. He has done lots of stuff here in Michigan and shipped them to Florida and other parts of the USA.

I am very blessed that I have a metal man that has been doing this for over 45 years and has made little tiny electricaly signs for me and huge pylons for another shop that he worked for. I once asked him what the biggest sign was that he ever did. He said thta it was 80 feet tall and 80 feet wide. He even did the temporary sign for the Palace of Auburn Hills. The palace is the stadium where the Detroit Pistons compete.
