I am involved in providing a community notice board and have the followingrequirements:1 Vandal resistant2 Weatherproof materials3 Easy to insert drawing pins1 is being addressed by using a welded steel frame, bolted to a wall,using hidden (or tamperproof) bolts2 means basically the material should be rainwater resistant (will notrot easily)3 is the killer; people need to be able to press in drawing pins fairlyeasily but the pins must hold the notices securely, and the pins must befairly easy to remove later.Can anyone suggest the ideal material for the board? MDF is too hard.TIA Jerry

Sorry, but doesn't each and every one of the above three cancel outeach of the other two!For example, if the Drawing pins are easy to remove then a vandal caneasily remove anything held by the pins and if it's waterproof surelysticking pins into it could or will compromise the materialswaterproof status?..

That won't stop them from scribbling/spraying/burning/scratching/ smashing the glazing.

Youre asking an impossible set of requirements. Pinnable means soft means vandalisable. No glass & lock means the notices are vandalisable.

Nearest I could come would be plastic foam to take the pins, since its non rotting, covered with a close knit stainless steel mesh: this gives as much protection as one realistically can to the foam, while allowing pins in.

Youre really not going to get anything better.

(I still like the gloopy board idea myself.)
