Shed security

[SirMacca89]

Hi guys I've got a shed being delivered this week before the bike makes it's way here.

Whats the best way to secure it inside the shed? I was thinking maybe put a slab of concrete under the flags that the shed is going to sit on and put a high anchor into the concrete and through the base of the shed or is there an easier way that anyone can think of? Basically need something to chain to.

Cheers

I did same mate. 7x4 shed then dug through base of shed into concrete underneath about 1ft deep, chucked in some cement and then ground anchor left to set for 24 hrs. Then put shed base back down with a slot in it for the anchor to good through.
Then a nice almax series 4 chain to finish off!

Thanks for the reply I will check them out now, have heard of them before.

Has anyone had any experience with any oxford anchors and what's your verdicts on them? My mate has one for sale at the minute, with all original fixings, is the only reason I ask.

Ye I think I remember seeing that video a while ago.

I failed to mention that the shed will have a PIR and contact sensor both connected to the house alarm aswell as the anchor, chain and disk locks.

^^ good luck with the spiders
Might be worth sealing the sensor with a spot of silicon.

I wonder if I can teach my rabbits to bark? Haha

I think I will give the Oxford anchor a go and get a decent chain in that case

Is it a wooden shed? if so - are you willing to lose a couple of inches inside?

Grab some ply to line the inside with. If it's a wooden shed it's REAL easy to shimmy a couple of boards off the outside to get in. Between the shed wall and the ply, get some chicken wire and attach it to the shed frame and wherever you feel basically. Make sure you cover the entire interior though. Theives are happy to get into a shed, but if there's chicken wire/mesh, they've got to cut through all of that and still get cut up getting in

Security on the bike is good, but make sure you look at access points and upgrade them. If you only have one door in/out, upgrade the hinges (nothing easier than pulling hinges off a door and then the door falls out) and upgrade any locks. try and get locks that cover their own mounting bolts

Does anyone know of a PIR alarm/light (not really bothered if attached to a light) that can send a wireless alert to a receiver in the house?

Ok, not much use outside with prowling cats/wildlife but fitted inside may be helpful.

Something like this might work?

Ground anchor under the shed is just the start.

1 Renforce the door hinges with heavier ones that are bolted with round headed bolts into the door and frame.

2 put van locks on the doors, also bolted on like these https://www.amazon.co.uk/HIGH-SECURITY-PADLOCK-HASP-FIXING/dp/B003BKVTNS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385396715&sr=8-3&keywords=van+lock

3 sandwich the doors and frame between 1/2" plywood glued and bolted. fit the plywood on the doors before the lock hasps then use 40x40mm wood to wall around the lock hasps, also glued and bolted. This makes crowbaring the hasps off a more difficult and noisy affair.

4 On the inside of the doors chain the doors to the frame, again attach using bolts.

5 attach cheap rape alarms to the wire or chiken wire inside the shed.

6 Cameras, you need at least two. one looking out from above the shed door and a second one looking at the shed from the side. The cops like more than one view it makes identi ft ication easier even if malcreants are wearing hoodies.

7 Silent alarm on garden gates.

8 mark measurements for hight in areas cameras will pick tresspasers up, use reflective tape as it shows up on the cameras night vision, This also aids identification.

9 leave something for them to steal even if they dont bother trying to break in after seeing how secure your shed is. Why? so they can still be charged by plod. Just coming onto your property will not give plod much cause but if they nick an old socket set (for instance, easy to security mark and get prints off)

10 GPS tracker, cheap as chips or bloody expensive the choice is yours. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tracking-Vehicle-Motorcycle-Monitor-Tracker/dp/B00EKECQ7C/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1385398256&sr=8-9&keywords=gps+tracker

Now get down to BnQ and prepare to go bankrupt

I have some of these but cheaper, just look up security dvr on amazon and you will see generics like this. Gets a good enough image for a conviction.

Well thanks for some brilliant ideas. Will surely be putting some of them in force.
Really wish it was legal to wire the whole thing 240 that would give them a bit of a shock haha

I'd be cautious of over-doing it around the garden particularly, a house with alarms and wires and cameras all over the gates and walls indicates something really valuable.

But within and around the shed itself i'd go all out. As mentioned almax chain through a good ground anchor [can get lots of cheap 'Y' anchors on ebay] cemented in under the base of the sheds a good'un. PIR alarm internally is brilliant linked upto your phone or similar in the house - heavily grease the surround of it though or any spiders that get inside can become an issue even with the sensitivity decreased.

Besides that so long as you remember to unplug the things a rape alarm is a good and cheap initial detereant - i've gone with an alarmed bike and disc lock in the past personally just because i dont trust myself to not forget/accidently set off the rape alarms

One thing to be aware of either way is if they DO get in the shed and disable/avoid the alarms etc - its a perfect place with the doors shut to get on with what they want to do in releative privacy, so make sure the security you put in is adequate
