My students and I am preparing to make a series of wooden sign. We will be making three sets of 12 signs. Each set will be a fitness trail. Kids will go to a sign and do an activity listed on a stainless steel plate.
The wood will be pressure treated and anchored into the ground. There will be a stainless steel part on a wood plate. The stainless will be cermarked and laser engraved with an activity.
The "roof" part will be cut with a router table into pressure treated lumber.
Here are my questions. Does anyone have experience with cermarked stainless in an outdoor setting, will it last and be readable in a few years?
Will the pressure treated wood accept an 1/8" deep router bit cut design and last as long as the cermarked stainless?
Thanks for the help. High school students have designed and will build these in December for the elementary schools in my district and I want them to be successful!
