Design Guidelines
All guidelines are based on a 3 in. (76mm) deep
sign for Tetra
®
Slim EdgeStrip. When installing the
modules, it is typically recommended to install the
modules across the longest distance to allow for the
shortest light throw.
A 2 in. (51 mm) border is
recommended along the
perimeter of the sign.
