> Maybe we could solve our problem by adding clear Lexan sheets to the

> Hi all,
>
> I've a remote local government body installation that uses 3 of BP4160H
> panels for the control of a water race. The panels are mounted on top of
> a small concrete building that has raised metal sides seemingly built to
> military standards. Very heavy metal, indeed.
>
> However, within a month of installation, the panels were wrecked by
> vandals throwing huge rocks at the panels surface.
>
> Although I will be installing 6mm (approx 1/4") thick polycarbonate over
> the panels to protect against the rock damage, is there anything else
> that can be done to avoid this happening.  Short of installing a
> minefield or machine-gun nest, of course.
>
> Any known manufacturers that make a protective surface for panels?
>
> This is such a really good application, I don't want the local govt body
> becoming discouraged by idiots destroying it.
