PROTECTING YOUR SHED

Many people don't secure their shed or garage in the same way they do their homes.

It's worth having a good padlock on the door with no exposed screws, pay attention to hinges as these are easily removable.

An opportunistic burglar will try a shed or garage first because they can find the tools they need to break in to the house.

Alarms and property marks:

- Consider battery-operated shed alarms

- Property mark your items and take photographs of them

Lock it and hide it:

- Lock everything away securely. Tools can be locked inside a locker or box secured with a chain

- It is always worth draping a old sheet or blanket over the top of mowers or bikes to keep them covered from view

Take a look at your shed and consider how you would break in.
