Reinforce door hinges with security screws or brackets.

💡 Improve Visibility:

Install motion-activated lighting around your shed and garden.

Keep the area around your shed clear of overgrown bushes or fences that could provide cover.

📷 Consider CCTV or Alarms:

Battery-powered shed alarms and smart security cameras can be effective deterrents.

Avoid storing high-value items in sheds if possible.

Use anchor points or lockable boxes inside the shed to secure tools and equipment.
