{"product_id":"dont-approach-the-dogs-bamboo-gate-sign","title":"Please Don’t Approach the Dogs Sign | Bamboo | Outdoor | Paw Prints","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Please Don't Approach the Dogs bamboo gate sign, 200×65mm — laser-engraved with a paw print design and standard or custom text on FSC-certified Moso bamboo (certificate RINA-COC-001256). It ties securely at four points around a gate cross beam, sitting flush against the beam rather than hanging free — which is what makes it suitable for outdoor use. For nervous, anxious or reactive dogs whose owners need visitors and passers-by to keep their distance. Made to order in our workshop in North Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose Standard Text or Custom Text from the variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf choosing Custom Text, add your wording in the personalisation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd to basket — bulk discounts apply automatically from 20 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSC-certified Moso bamboo (certificate RINA-COC-001256)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200mm wide × 65mm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paw print motif with Please Don't Approach the Dogs wording (standard) or custom text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four holes — ties securely at four points around a gate cross beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for outdoor use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll items are made to order.

The bamboo version is the one to use outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it need any maintenance outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike any bamboo left outdoors, it will green over time from algae and general weathering unless cleaned regularly — a soft brush and water is usually enough. A UV-protective bamboo oil or sealer can slow this further if you'd like to treat it yourself, though this isn't a finishing service we offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this tied rather than bolted or screwed to the gate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBamboo at this thickness is strong, but drilling a hole for a bolt or screw concentrates stress at exactly the point a split is most likely to start — so bolting can risk cracking the sign, sometimes during fitting. Tying it securely around the cross beam avoids that entirely, while still holding it flush and rigid so it can't swing or knock in the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as your other dog signs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — this is the only dog sign in the range made for outdoor use. The indoor range (dogs welcome, keep on lead, paws on the floor, off the furniture) is engraved on oak veneered MDF and listed in the dog signs collection below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso see: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dog-friendly-signage\"\u003eall dog signs and dog friendly signage\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/no-dogs-pet-policy-signs\"\u003eNo Dogs \u0026amp; Pet Policy Signs\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/bamboo-vs-oak-vs-plywood-signs-keyrings-door-hangers\"\u003ebamboo vs oak vs plywood\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wooden-signs\"\u003eall wooden signs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CherryGroveCraft","offers":[{"title":"Custom Text","offer_id":49093746196792,"sku":"NervousDogsCustom","price":13.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Text","offer_id":49093746229560,"sku":"NervousDogsStandard","price":13.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/6076\/8824\/files\/il_fullxfull.6173995688_nvfv.jpg?v=1766488483","url":"https:\/\/cherrygrovecraft.co.uk\/products\/dont-approach-the-dogs-bamboo-gate-sign","provider":"CherryGroveCraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
