Fences, gates, and hedges can help keep intruders out. Make sure your boundaries are strong and well-maintained.

Fences around your property should remain low and allow view of the front aspect but can be higher to the sides and rear whilst also restricting view and access. Gates should be well maintained and capable of being locked. Use approved type padlocks. Gravel driveways are noisy to walk on, a good deterrent. Ensure your wheelie bin can’t be used to climb on and access windows/roofs.
