One of these:

Locked up with [url= http://securityforbikes.com/proddetail.php?prod=P13-x.x ]this chain[/url] and [url= http://securityforbikes.com/padlocks.php ]one of these padlocks[/url].

[url= http://securityforbikes.com/proddetail.php?prod=ShSh-P13-x.x-SS50CS ]Package deal here.[/url]

Fit out [url= http://www.expandedmetalcompany.co.uk/securilath.html ]the entire inside of the shed with this too[/url].

And replace all the screws with coachbolts.

Sniper on roof of adjacent house optional 😆

Concreted in ground anchor and suitably heavy duty chain would be step 1.

Security screws on hinges, or better still move the hinges ( so they're hidden ), line with steel mesh on the inside and over-board with ply, mesh on windows and fix shed to ground.

Reinforce the roof joints, tea-leaves opened my shed up like a tin can.

Beaten to it by Stimpy...

But over-board the lath so it can't be kicked in so easily..

Builders band over the roof,and down sides for about 18inches,
boltys threough hinge,

panel inside.insulate with newspaper scrunched up,

Cover window with bars and a curtain on the inside,

double locks top and botom of door.

Possible anti vandal grease on undersiude of eaves,

security light, and shed alarm,

Baby listner type thing if you have mains power,

Nosey neighbours, and a few illegal imigrants living in it,

The garden sits in the middle of townhouses and no exit but thru the front door., theft has to climb 6ft fence of four houses either way ..or back neighbours house and climb just 6ft fence.

That steel mesh seems like a good idea and say a bucket of concrete as anchor, another question. Say, the whole inside of that shed will be covered with steel mesh.. How do you lock this all together without using welding equipment?

Build it with breeze blocks and put shiplap on the outside. Or clad the whole inside with corrugated steel and rivet it together?

fix mesh to inside of walls with wooden battons screwed to existing walls,

having a police man as a neighbour, means little as hopefully he needs to sleep, go to work, and have holidays.

Corrugated steel is even cheaper idea. Cheers
