[PADG:1748] water deflectors for stacks

[Emily Holmes <emily.holmes@xxxxxxx>]

Our insurance appraiser recently visited our stacks and suggested the 
use of plastic shields that fit to the tops of shelving in order to 
deflect falling water from a leak. He seemed to feel they are fairly 
easy to come by and relatively inexpensive. Does anyone on the list 
have any experience with something like this and have any information 
about vendors, costs, and whether or not the products out there are 
reliable? I'd appreciate any help you all could give me.
