Making your home more secure has never been more important. In France, a home is burgled every three minutes. However, there are simple yet highly effective solutions to protect against break-ins starting from your garden.
Securing your home means first deterring any burglary attempt preventively. To achieve this, installing robust fences and gates is essential. Here are some recommendations for protecting your home directly from your garden.
Install Rigid Mesh Fencing to Surround Your Property
our rigid mesh fencing models of professional quality are as robust as they are easy to install. And there is no question of letting just anyone look into your property with impunity thanks to our range of privacy screens! For those seeking aesthetics combined with security, you can also equip your property with bar fencing.
Equipping your property with rigid mesh fencing with 5 mm wire will help you prevent deliberate twisting by burglars—let us not make their task easy! We recommend choosing fencing at least 2 m high with tight mesh to make climbing difficult.
Ensure Closure with Gates and Pedestrian Gates
For your gate or pedestrian gate to be effective, it must have:
- A deterrent height
- Maximum strength
- A reinforced locking system
Meeting these 3 criteria does not necessarily mean ending up with a gate that is not decorative. Those who prefer total opacity and transparency will find suitable options.
You can also install a screening kit to prevent prying eyes from taking an interest in your belongings.
There are different types of gates, particularly according to the opening system envisaged (swing or sliding). The swing model will require the largest clearance area to allow its opening and closing.
Conversely, the sliding model does not require clearance space, but a lateral surface on which to slide the gate directly using the guide rail previously fixed to the ground.
Install Lighting
Burglars need discretion—nothing better than putting their misdeeds in the spotlight! To secure your garden and your home, it will be necessary to equip your access points with light sources.
For a surprise effect and reduced cost, investing in motion-detection LED lights is the solution for your unwanted visitors.
Set Up a Motorization System
In addition to allowing you to control its opening and closing, the electric gate requires specific skills to be forced and also requires spending a certain amount of time on its opening.

Other Ideas from Our Professionals
To further secure your home and its garden, here are some additional measures you can take:
- Install an outdoor alarm with sensors that you will activate during your absences.
- Position a convex mirror above your gate to keep an eye on the main access. (Check the compliance of your installation with legislation before having it installed)
- Have a video intercom and/or discreet trigger cameras installed to have an overall view of what may happen in your garden.
