Claims15
A method for installing an advertising unit on a surface, said method comprising the steps of:
- cleaning an installation area located at the surface;
- forming one or more holes in the installation area;
- applying an adhesive at the installation area such that portions of said adhesive are deposited into said one or more holes;
- depositing the advertising unit at the installation area atop the adhesive;
- securing an anchoring component to a mid-portion of each respective one of one or more fasteners;
- passing each of the one or more fasteners through at least a respective portion of the advertising unit into a respective one of each of the one or more holes such that said anchoring component and at least a distal portion of said fastener contact said portions of said adhesive deposited within said one or more holes;
- and
- curing the adhesive.
A method for installing an advertising unit at a parking lot, said method comprising the steps of:
- cleaning an installation area at the parking lot;
- drilling a hole in the installation area;
- mixing an epoxy;
- applying the epoxy at the installation area, including within the hole;
- passing a fastener through an aperture the advertising unit, wherein said hole is drilled at a location corresponding with the aperture;
- securing an anchoring component to a distal portion of said fastener;
- placing the advertising unit at the installation area atop the adhesive such that said distal portion of said fastener and said anchoring component are passed into the hole and suspended within said epoxy deposited within said hole;
- and
- allowing the epoxy to cure, including about said distal portion of said fastener and said anchoring portion, to secure said advertising unit at said parking lot.
A method for installing an advertising unit at an installation area of a parking lot, said installation area comprising a divider line, said method comprising the steps of:
- flailing the installation area using a chain flail machine to excavate at least a portion of the installation area;
- scrubbing the installation area with a steel brush;
- blowing the installation area with a mechanical blower;
- drilling at least two holes in the installation area;
- mixing a two-part epoxy;
- applying the two-part epoxy at the installation area, including within each of the at least two holes;
- cleaning a rear surface of a back-unit of the advertising unit;
- passing a fastener through each of at least two countersunk apertures in the back-unit, wherein said holes are drilled at locations to correspond with each of the at least two countersunk apertures in the back-unit;
- securing an anchoring component comprising a nut to a distal portion of a threaded shank of each of the fasteners;
- placing the back-unit at the installation area atop the adhesive such that said distal portion of said threaded shank of each of said fasteners and said nuts are passed into a corresponding one of the at least two holes such that said anchoring components are suspended within portions of the two-part epoxy deposited within holes;
- placing one or more weights on the advertising units;
- allowing the two-part epoxy to cure, including about said distal portion of said threaded shank of each of said fasteners and said nuts;
- and
- sliding a cover portion of the advertising unit within a track of the back-unit, wherein said track extends along a longitudinal axis of said back-unit.
