5 Easy Garden Room Security Tips and Ideas
by Charlie g. Nature LoverGarden rooms are a great option for a studio or workspace as they’re
normally situated some distance from your house, for a feeling of seclusion and
privacy. However, this can also lead to garden room security issues. If you’re
using your garden room as garden offices
or studio, it stands to reason that it may contain expensive equipment such as
a laptop or desktop PC, so security is paramount.
We’ve got 5 easy tips and ideas to help keep your garden room safe
and secure – try one or implement them all!
#1. Install Closed Circuit Television
Closed circuit TV (CCTV)
uses video cameras which can transmit audio and video to a connected monitor.
By installing CCTV around your garden toom, you can keep an eye out for suspicious
activity and record any intruders.
#2. Consider Installing an Intruder Alarm System
Most modern alarm systems
use motion sensors which are placed in and around your garden room (and on
doors and windows) to detect intruders. The simple presence of an alarm system
is often enough to deter burglars, and some systems offer notifications of
security breaches by email or SMS. You’ll often find that installing an alarm
system reduces the cost of your home insurance too! Ask Home office builders
for more!
#3. Light Up Your Lawn
Installing security lights
such as a movement activated light can deter burglars and prevent break-ins.
Even ample outside lighting in your garden can help to keep your garden room
more safe and secure.
#4. Secure Doors and Windows
It goes without saying that
you should always ensure you have locked doors and closed windows before
leaving your garden room. Installing windows with key locks can help to keep
your space secure, or you could go a step further and install door and window
sensors. Again, you can even find systems that notify you by SMS if somebody attempts
to enter! Summer

#5. Build Multi-Layered Walls
Although most garden rooms
are of timber construction, if you’re considering having one built yourself, you
might want to speak to your installer to find out more about your options.
Multi-layered walls are, as the name suggests, walls with multiple layers. This
added thickness makes it more difficult for burglars to enter your property and
adds an extra layer of security.
These are just a few ideas
to get you started when it comes to garden room security. There are plenty of
other tips and tricks you can use to ensure your garden room is a safe, secure
and cosy space for work or play!
