There are many different items that people choose to store in their secure metal shed, from plants and pots, to paint and seeds, bicycles, power tools, gardening tools and equipment, or even luxury outdoor furniture. You need to be sure that you’ll have peace of mind that your outdoor valuables are locked away as securely as possible, whether overnight during the summer months when you are using the garden every day or for the long winter months when you lock everything away until next summer.
Tips for making your garden shed more secure
Here are a few things that you can do to make your garden shed secure, whether it is angalvanised steelgarden shed, a timber shed, or made from plastic.
Use a strong lock
Adding a strong lock to your already secure shed will help you to achieve an even higher level of security that keeps your valuable items safely locked behind the shed door. Common options include disc locks, deadbolts, and combination locks. A hardened steel padlock is another popular choice to add a layer of security to the entry point.
Install lighting
Security lighting, potentially on a motion-sensor setting, helps to deter criminals who may be loitering and attempting to gain unlawful entry into your garden shed. LED lights are also a good way to deter intruders, in an energy efficient way. Light are always a good deterrent to criminals.
Secure the shed
Use heavy-duty bolts and anchor bolts to help secure the shed to the ground. This makes it much more difficult for someone to move the shed in order to gain entry. It will also add that extra layer of protection against strong winds.
Install an alarm and CCTV
If you have alarms and cameras set up around your home, it makes sense to include the shed within your security system. This is especially the case if you have stored valuable, high-priced items in your shed for storage.
