Will the lettering stay sharp outdoors over time?
Yes. The raised navy letters are coated to resist fading and chipping, so the sign keeps its look through rain, sun, and seasonal weather.
Can I hang it on a door without it scratching the surface?
The cord is soft twine, not wire, so it sits flat against most doors and won't scrape. For extra protection, a small felt pad behind the sign works well.
Is it heavy enough to stay put in wind?
The metal weight keeps it stable in light to moderate wind. For very gusty spots, hooking the cord through a small nail or screw (instead of just looping it) holds it steady.
Does the distressing on each sign look exactly the same?
Each sign has slight variation in the weathered edges, which gives it that authentic vintage feel โ no two are identical, just like a real aged piece.
