If you have a garden then it is important to ensure that it is secure and that there is no easy access to unwanted strangers. When people think about security they often look at doors, windows and security systems within the home but forget about the garden. Your garden perimeter should be your first line of defence. You need to try and make sure that you have gates fitted to side entrances and security lights that will come on if a movement is detected.
When choosing your gates to have fitted to your fence you need to make sure they are attached in such a way that they cannot just be lifted off. You need to ensure that have security locks fitted to them to alone allow access to authorised people.
You also should check the security of your fence around your garden. If they are the type of fence panels that can just be lifted up and crawled under then you may want to secure them a bit more.
Your garden is an extension of your home and you need to update your security as you would around your house.
