Can anyone suggest how I can protect a For Sale board from being vandalized?
I first attached the sign to a tree at the bottom on my drive and within a few days it had been torn down.
I then put 12mm (could have been 18mm) MDF in the middle of the sign and nailed it on with panel pins which just happened to be a little bit too long and so protruded a little.......(whoops!). The result being a chav with a cut and sprained hand! Job done!
Nope.......another little twerp decided to take a stick to it and whilst the board held up the plastic sale board was torn so it had to be stuck down.
By now we're over 10 months into the tatty sign being up and my wife tells me this morning that the sign has been pulled down. The MDF has been soaked through and add a swinging monkey boy it's pulled down.
So, what do I do next!
I thought about doing something similar in marine ply with a 1" edge covered in some nasty grease and maybe a some carpet grippers around the edges.
or getting a steel frame fabricated with some steel mesh in the center of the board and hoop fixed to the tree.
I'm not looking to hurt anyone, I just want to keep the sign long enough for the house to sell and without having to replace it at my cost of £60 per board!
Any ideas that won't get me locked up?
