Be Shed Secure

The following crime prevention advice, courtesy of Hampshire Police should help you protect your property from thieves.
- Secure the access to your shed or garage by locking gates and using obstacles such as trellis or bushes next to walls and fences.
- Visibly mark the contents of your shed - make a note of serial numbers and photograph any valuables.
- Use external security lights - that are activated by movement as a deterrent.
- Ensure shed doors are locked and windows are secure - use a strong padlock, such as a closed shackle padlock on the door. Use coach bolts or non-return screws to strengthen door hinges and locks or grilles on windows.
- Chain cycles, mowers, ladders and tools to a strong anchorage point.
- Alarm your property - small alarms for sheds and garages are available at most DIY stores for less than £20.
- Check that your household policy covers you for theft from your garden or outbuildings. If not, make sure you have the right cover.
- A joint community approach can help to reduce crime, so why not consider joining your local Neighbourhood Watch Scheme?
