Can a wooden welcome sign stay outside all winter?

A covered porch offers some protection, but snow and freeze-thaw cycles can wear down wood. A sealed finish, or bringing the sign inside during harsh weather, helps it last.

What size of porch sign should a buyer choose?

Tall leaner signs around four to five feet suit front doors with floor space, while smaller hanging signs fit narrow entries.
