Also, don't forget to lock away garden tools as these are often used to prise open doors/windows and don't leave your home office keys lying around or, worse still, on a key rack with a 'Garden Office' tag attached.garden2office.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202954961324591166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-89557225262324328052009-03-27T13:59:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:59:00.000+00:00That all seems sensible.

I think the well-hidden bit might apply to the inside (which is relatively simple as you shouldn't need much stuff in there) - but as for the outside, I think a visual deterrent is good - even if it's just a sticker in the window saying alarmed or even a flashing led somewhere! In your case, I would go for an outside box; you sound like you're going to have a lot of kit in there. And of course, I don't know your location. But yes, visual deterrent (ie pls rob somewhere else), physical deterrent (locks/alarms) are what you need.<BR/><BR/>After all that, if someone REALLY wants to get into your shed, they will - just as they will your house.nickthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907351997061288290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-82801416073416881672009-03-27T13:36:00.000+00:002009-03-27T13:36:00.000+00:00i am planning a practice studio shed in my backyar...i am planning a practice studio shed in my backyard and have been thinking about this issue. <BR/><BR/>i think a very loud and well hidden and/or secured standalone system would be the thing. <BR/>i am designing a shed with the side facing into the yard as all glass with a sliding or couple of french doors. the other windows would be high and too narrow to crawl through. the all glass side will probably have two large carriage style doors that swing open really wide and would cover the whole wall when closed. a roll down security shutter is an idea but expensive. have also thought of placing some sort of steel in the walls - rebar or angle iron <BR/><BR/>i think the important thing is to make robbing the space difficult and slow to the smash and grab thief.karl rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199183261738174201noreply@blogger.com
