HELP - Security needed! Ideas?

[Hollyhorse]

We've recently heard about a lot of break-ins locally to us with quite a lot of stuff stolen. Has made me think seriously about the security we have at our place - we are lucky enough to have our own yard beyond our garden, with barns, stabling, horsebox and fields. We want to make sure our yard is completely secure in every possible way, e.g. heavyduty padlocks on gates, light sensors, alarms...

Would appreciate any ideas, suggestions or recommendations as really don't want our place to be next!

Big woofers really help!!!!

We have a couple of 'postmans legs' aka cow legs littered about the yard and took a couple of photos-left sign on the gate saying trespassers would be eaten!

Big black and tan dogs, and remote CCTV - nothing else works as well....

we find having bee bop alarms triggered by movement works best. They go off inside our house and immediately alert you someone is walking about. It can be moved to target different places ie tackroom and yard at night, just entrances during the daytime. irritating noise but they work via radio alarm so intruders can't see where they are....

Bee bop alarms sound perfect, exactly what we need.
Many thanks

Does the movement of animals activate these alarms?

You could get a tame electrician to wire up an alarm for you - a continuous circuit across gates and barn/tackroom doors, which sets off an alarm in the house if the circuit is broken

Contact your local Police & they will be able to send a Crime Prevention Officer out to you. He will give you up to date information on what is available & the information will be unbiased & free.
