This one comes with a sturdy steel bar that resists any sort of cutting or even heavy damaging, so even if the buggers try heavy tools or the sharpest ones they won’t be able to invade your property, and your pricey equipment is easily saved. Another good thing would be to replace the screws with bolts and such heavy minor things, this may sound obvious but they can be of crucial importance in the long run.

If an opportunist thief is in your garden during the night, they are going to be looking around for items of value that stand out. Peering through the shed windows is an obvious choice to see if there are any items of value. An easy way to prevent this and reduce the temptation of gaining access to the shed is to cover the windows. You can set up the Yale SAA5015 freestanding or mount it on the shed wall. Mounting is the safest option. You can also add a wooden frame around it to prevent burglars from ripping it off the wall.

What to Consider When Choosing Shed Security

You can upgrade your shed door hinges with longer nuts and bolts or one way screws yourself in some cases. But if you have expensive tools, a lawn mower, bikes and other valuable items, we recommend getting something more secure. Sheds are an invaluable part of any gardener’s arsenal, giving you a dedicated space to store all your tools and equipment in which keeps the garden tidy, and slows down the negative effect nature has on them by protecting them from weather damage. The steel 'keep' that the bolt locates into has tolerance, again for doors and structures that move.

A lot of shed alarms are available. Low budget options feature a single unit that contains both a speaker and sensor. For most sheds, these are perfect and can be operated using a keypad or remote fob. For larger sheds or those with electricity, house alarms can also be used.

Don’t put it in a very secluded part of your garden, however, as this can make it easy for thieves to spend time in the shed removing all your equipment without being noticed. It works by detecting vibration when a burglar tries to break in through the door or window. It’ll sound some pre-warning beeps to deter the burglar before any damage is done, then the main siren will go off.As well as having friendly neighbours, a good burglar deterrent is automatic lighting. The dream scenario for any burglar is to be unseen and hide in the shadows. Motion-detecting lights remove that possibility and alert you when there’s movement in the garden at night. You may consider using metal or resin as your shed’s main material. Metal is cheaper but is also vulnerable to harsh weather and rust. Resin sheds (a.k.a. vinyl sheds) are tough and light. For both varieties, the bar fixings should be fixed to the shed frame (rather than the cladding/siding) for maximum effect.
