What size drill bits and pilot holes do I use with signs ?

PILOT HOLE GUIDE SHANK HOLE GUIDE
Gauge Drill Size Gauge Drill Size
4g 2.0mm 4g 3mm
5 and 6g 2.5mm 5g 3.5mm
7g 3.0mm 6g 4mm
8g 3.0mm 8g 4.5mm
10g 3.5mm 10g 5mm
12g 4.5mm 12g 6mm

Calculating an Area in Square Metres

1) You will need to Convert from centimetres to metres eg 1 centimetre or 10mm = 0.01 metres

Example:
Length - 200cm or 2000mm = 2.0m
Width - 30cm or 300mm = .30m

2) Now Multiply the length and width together to get the measurement of the area in square metres.

Example - using the example sizes from above - 2.0m x .30m = .6 square metres (m2)
