Vandal Resistant
Have you heard of the 43 foot tall Swedish Christmas goat that is made of straw?
It seems the traditional 42 foot (13 meter) tall goat made of straw has become the target of firebugs who have made a tradition of trying to burn it down.
Here’s a highlight of the story.
Vandals have so far failed to burn down the traditional Swedish Christmas monument, which has been soaked with flame-resistant chemicals for the first time, officials said Friday Dec 15 2006. An overnight raid Thursday was the first attack of the season against the 13-meter-high (43-foot-high) Christmas goat, pictured on Dec 3 in the city of Gavle, 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Stockholm. The goat has been burned down more than 20 times in the last 40 years in what has become a violent yule tradition. Last year’s goat was burned down by vandals dressed up as Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Man. They were never caught.

Yeah, I’ve heard of it. I think it’s a Winter Solstice type tradition to make effigies in straw.
I wonder how other holiday decorations survive in the public sphere. How many Nativity sets are burned down? How snow people are knocked over?
Arched Concrete Water Fountain
Be Cool and don’t take a beating !! Our elegant Concrete Water Fountains will easily survive mischievous children, rowdy teenagers, reckless visitors and punk vandals. They are designed to withstand these battles and to last many years – providing year-round beauty with minimum maintenance. They are built of steel reinforced precast concrete using the highest quality cement, aggregates (stones) and sand. They meet or exceed all industry standards for durability and strength. In addition they are available in a variety of attractive earth-tone colors that will blend well with our other site amenities such as picnic tables, benches and trash receptacles. They will enhance the attractiveness of any outdoor or indoor facility.
Our Concrete Water Fountains are popular for both indoor and outdoor locations. They provide a clean, filtered, chilled drink of water. Our fountains are in use all over the country and can be found at pools, schools, campuses, parks, patios, campsites, sports arenas, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, indoor and outdoor malls, plazas, offices, theaters and public gardens.
Our Concrete Water Fountains offer maximum strength and durability with minimum maintenance. They are vandal resistant and they have a rustic elegance that blends beautifully in outdoor and indoor environments. In addition, they are completely lead-free and the internal parts, such as the brass bubblers, are corrosion free. And the flow regulators are easy to adjust so that the water stream stays in the bowl. Finally, there are numerous models available to meet any user need.
Today’s water drinking fountain is the result of over 100 years of development. The first water fountains available to the public were developed in the early 1900s by Halsey Willard Taylor and Luther Haws. They were motivated to provide a safe and sanitary drink of water to the public in large part because of the death of Halsey W. Taylor’s father from contaminated water. As the water fountain became more common in the lives of the people there was a demand for chilled water. This led first to ice-cooled water fountains and then ammonia refrigerated water fountains. Later in the 1950s, wall-mounted water fountains were developed for use in public schools, hospitals and other buildings with high traffic. In the 1960s the industry recognized that physically challenged people had difficulty obtaining a drink of water from water fountains. Therefore, laws and designs changed to make water fountains accessible to all people. Additional developments were made to offer a drink of water as contamination-free as possible. Efforts were made to eliminate all lead and other metal contaminates from the water.
All of our concrete water fountains meet the federal regulations established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They meet state and federalhandicapped requirements when installed in accordance with the clearances defined by the ADA. In addition our concrete water fountains are considered “lead free” as determined by all known definitions including ANSI/NSF Standard 61, Section 9, California Proposition 65 and the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Our concrete water fountains are accessible for the handicap. There is plenty of knee clearance for people in wheelchairs and an easy front push button. There are a number of available options such as concrete or chrome bowls, side faucet, freeze proof valve and tamper resistant concrete bubbler guard. In addition these fountains include a drain tail piece and bubbler valve for plumbing connections. The design of the access panel makes installation easier for the buyer.
Our concrete water fountains are not only weatherproof, vandalism resistant and handicap accessible, but they are also available in several designs including pedestal mount, barrier-free pedestal and wall mount. Our color choices will allow a complimentary match with any décor. And all of our water fountains are manufactured with lead-free materials and components.
