Shed Breaks

Good Afternoon all,

We have noted a rise in breaks to sheds over the last week, especially in some of the more rural villages.  You may find the following tips useful to secure your shed:

🛡️ Keep Your Shed Secure This Year!

Shed break-ins are on the rise, but a few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping your tools, bikes and garden gear safe.

🔐 Reinforce the structure
Use solid hasps, coach bolts and upgraded hinges to strengthen weak doors and panels.

🔒Choose quality locks
Opt for closed-shackle or heavy-duty padlocks instead of cheap, easy-to-cut ones.

🪟 Secure windows
Add bars, mesh or privacy film so valuables can’t be seen or easily accessed.

⚓ Anchor valuable items
Use ground or wall anchors for bikes, mowers and power tools to slow thieves down.

💡 Add external security
Motion lights, cameras and even a gravel path can deter opportunists.

🚨 Use shed-friendly alarms
Battery-powered or smart alarms can alert you instantly if something’s up.

🖊️ Mark your property
UV pens or property-marking kits make stolen items harder to sell on.

A few upgrades now can save you a lot of hassle later. Stay secure! 🔒✨
