We have some displays of flagstones in various garden centres. These are 3m X 3m mounted on a frame which is just off vertical. There is the possibility that if someone removes one of the stones they may all fall out.
The displays cannot be tilted further back because of space issues. For similar reasons a barrier is not viable.
we have thought about putting perspex over the display but this would get scratched and look grubby.
The other option my first option)is sticking the flagstones down but the boss doesn't want to do that as it makes the flags unusable when the display is dismantled.
All sensible ideas welcome.

Jim,
It's the ones in the middle that a punter tried to take out. Damned hard to do but with the weight of the other flags on them, and why you would want to beats me. as a client once said to a HSE Inspector you can't legislate against idiocy.

3m by 3m are large flagstones.
How did you get them into position, and as they must weigh quite alot, how are people going to pick them up to remove them?

Robert can you confirm the flagstones are 3 metres x three metres, thats a helluva size and I would have doubts if anyone would attempt to lift one.

Try a smaller display (3m x 3m is very big!), or how about using the stones on an actual in-situ path that customers walk over?

I would suppose that the 3x3 display holds a range of smaller stones.
Do you also sell wire fencing ? Cover the display with that and attach a notice "our safety fencing wire is also on display in aisle b"
Two for the price of one.

Merv's right as usual.
The display is made up of smaller stones a circle in the middle, curved on one corner surrounding those and then square flags. Thats the reason it's 3 x 3m.
The display gets wet and I doubt the sealant would stick to the damp wood back board.

providing all surfaces are dry before application, theres not a lot of things that sealant doesnt stick to. And you only want it so that folks dont lift the flags so it will be suitable. Believe me.
In my plumbing days, I stuck sink basins to walls with the stuff, and could you get them off.....no way.

Can you not just use them as God intended...flat on the ground.
"You are now walking on the display, the vertically mounted chart shows style names and prices."
Yer man De Bono (Not U2) would be proud.

In most building or garden supply yards space is at a premium. Our local place (from which we built this house) has a mixture of flat, sloped and "as built" displays. Then you can wander around the jard, dodging the fork lifts, cars and lorries, to check out the stacks.
