The bar is made from galvanised steel, which provides long term corrosion protection even in coastal areas. What we like about it: Secure roof base – Another common weak point is where the roof meets the walls. Make sure you have a solid, fairly heavy roof that can’t be shifted easily. 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. As with anything else, you get what you pay for when you buy a garden shed, so be prepared to pay a little extra for better materials and construction if you want your shed to last.

But the sad fact is, sheds typically present an easy target for thieves as most are inadequately secured despite the fact that many people store expensive equipment and personal items in their sheds. 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. Aside from that, the numbers are easy to read and maneuver. Setting and resetting the codes are easy tasks that will only t for only a few minutes since they are effortless and straightforward. I just followed the instructions in the manual and did the task myself. This wireless alarm is designed to be installed outdoors, close to where a burglar is likely to break in through. Installing it outdoors also ensures the siren carries far enough for you or your neighbours to hear. Solid door hinges – These are often the weak point in shed construction, so look for a shed that has a solidly framed door and one way screws that can’t be removed.It detects motion from as far as 12m, and produces a loud 100dB siren. To silence the alarm, you have to enter a 4-digit pin on the keypad. 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. Smart alarms can connect to the internet and send a notification to your mobile phone if the alarm is triggered.

Pad bolts, sometimes called Brenton bolts, are often used to secure garden gates. They consist of a flat or circular bar that slides horizontally within a mounting that 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.If possible, position your shed so that it’s out of view of anyone passing by.

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. This will hide your expensive gardening equipment, bicycles and other outdoor items from view and help prevent anyone from getting any ideas about stealing them.

With this in mind, consider replacing a few of your hinge’s fasteners with carriage bolts. Carriage bolts have a rounded head, making them impossible for thieves to remove from the bolt head side. 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. Don’t forget that Asgard secure sheds are made from heavy-duty galvanised steel panels, internal fixtures and fitting and a full metal floor.

The inventive hook end design provides maximum flexibility by allowing the bar to be inserted from either end, even where space is limited. Higher quality and more expensive branded hardware, such as those made by ABUS, often incorporate parts that are made from
