Downpipe guard

[newbie99]

I wonder if anyone know where I could buy some metal guard that conceals the plastic downpipe from vandalism. Apparently the same persistant person is deliberately breaking the plastic downpipe.

Is there any other solutions to this type of constant vandalism?

Many thanks in any thoughts given.

You could get a metal downpipe...........;-) seriously though, look in your local hardware store, they may be able to suggest something.

They'd probably rip the guard off as well :o(
Cast iron, aluminium, copper etc are available as Boxers says. Trouble is, they aren't "a-hole"-proof either :o(
It's a bit drastic, but a length of 63mm steel tube bolted to the wall would do it (replacing the plastic).
I don't know of any guards, but something could easily be made up by a local steel fabrication company.

............. er, sorry ............. 68mm :o)
