Absolutely amazing!!!

How do you stand up your yard art? Searching the web has not revealed much. I am currently using a modified version of this guy’s work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mqiGd1lttLU. However, still looking for other ideas.

I don’t do it the right way. I use 1x2s and hammer them in the ground. Then I brad nail them with a gun to the board. I only put two in each and it holds them up for the season. I also have them a couple of inches off the ground. I created a bracket that can be 3d printed but I didn’t do try it this year.
I have attached the file below.

I’ve used 3/4 EMT successfully to prop up letters and signs:
I attach one or two EMT pipes to sign with conduit clips
I lay sign flat on ground to see where it exactly attaches
I cut 2’ straight rebar sticks, hammer them 1’ into ground and slide EMT pipes on top of rebar.
This makes for a very sturdy sign that can be easily removed when the event is done.
