Our county bought some for part of the trail system.  From our

perspective of trying to buy more, and somewhere from 50 to 100

they are way pricey...about $10 each for post and spike into ground....

and another couple bucks for the lettering.....nice stuff if you can afford it

Hello Angie,

Here is San Diego the County uses these flexible fiberglass markers
4ft long with various labels. I do not know the cost but the labels
remain readable for many years and the post itself is unfazed by our
weather. I recommend the Dual-Flex or the SignPost models that
support decals on both sides.
