Here's a challenge for you all:
The flat we live in has a wide balcony surrounded by vertical metal bars topped by a larger diameter round rail.
The vertical bars are approx. 1cm diameter and 1m long (didn't measure
- guestimated) and spaced about 10 cm from each other. When the wind blows (which seems to be continuous as we are on the coast) the vertical bars get into rythm and make quite an impressive noise. so much so that some of the residents cannot sleep (their balconies are the same).
Can anyone suggest a method to stop this? We cannot fix them in the middle with a horizontal bar because of safety regulations. I was thinking of something like the dampers used on high-voltage lines to stop the conductors vibrating (see
Is there anywhere on the 'net that can calculate the weight required?
TIA for any help...
