Shed Security 101: A Guide to Securing Your Shed

Sheds serve as sanctuaries for hobbies and prized possessions, making shed security a high priority for many. Whether your shed basks in the Australian sun or graces diverse landscapes, this guide unveils key strategies to fortify your space.

Choosing a Secure Spot

If possible, select a location for your shed that is highly visible to deter intruders. Try to avoid hiding your shed behind dense foliage, ensuring it aligns with the openness of the surroundings. If this is not possible for your location, there are many other ways you can increase the security of your shed below. 

Get a Shed Made from High-Quality Materials

If something’s worth putting in the shed, then the shed needs the strength to protect it.  Your shed’s strength and durability are its most important features.

Our sheds are made from the highest quality Australian COLORBOND® steel, guaranteed to stand the test of time with an up to 20 years materials warranty. With five layers of protection, COLORBOND® steel has been designed to endure our harsh Australian environment and provide long-lasting durability you can trust.  

Superior Door and Window Reinforcements

Shield your shed from the harsh Australian weather and intruders. The Shed Company offer a range of pre-hung single and dual skin access doors constructed from materials resistant to corrosion. Be sure to discuss any specialist locks for egress and access your shed might require and consider reinforced screens for windows. The use of Windlock Roller Doors for large doors and high wind areas can also enhance security.

Embrace Solar Security Lighting

Illuminate your shed's surroundings with solar-powered security lighting, leveraging Australia's abundant sunlight for sustainable and effective protection. Motion-activated lights deter intruders and conserve energy, ensuring a well-lit and secure environment.

Constant Monitoring with Security Cameras

Elevate your shed security with surveillance cameras offering constant monitoring and acting as powerful deterrents. Opt for high-resolution cameras with night vision for continuous surveillance and remote access.

Integration with Alarm Systems 

For a comprehensive approach, integrate your surveillance system with an alarm system designed for local conditions. Look for features like resistance to dust and moisture, ensuring synchronised defense and capturing crucial footage in the event of a triggered alarm.

A Resilient Haven for Tools and Memories

Whether you are looking for a small garden lock-up, somewhere to keep the bikes and boards, your passion-project workshop or even a large piece of farming or business infrastructure, your shed’s security is its most important feature.
