    we sold it commercially - had to pay a structural engineer to approve it and an electrical engineer to stamp it for industry grade. and 2 installers in a truck to put it up + hardware (it weighed about 200 lbs)
    also, i noted that the one we did was aluminum channels, not wood - we had it plasma-routed, and pop-rivited (gotta be up for years). edges soldered and holes drilled so that water doesn't sit after a rain.
    plus had to run conduit to the location on the building (can just run an extension cord from a wall outlet)

    & all that was the client bill, for design, fabrication & manufacturing, city permits, installation and so on.

    not saying it'd cost you that much, just letting you know an out the door bill we gave out for a local sign that was 3.5'x10' and for commercial purposes start to finish -
