All criminals, from professional burglars to casual vandals, will quickly detect the weak points in any building’s integrity. Badly-protected windows, weak doors, rotten wooden fencing… these all provide access for willing criminals and to ensure a building’s security, all these potential weak points need to be identified and rectified.

One key area to be addressed is any possible access to low roofs. A criminal will scale roofs to gain access to a building, notably any obscured access where they won’t be so easily detected. Luckily the answer is often very simple, with a number of anti-climb devices available. The answer to a building’s security is to put as many obstacles as possible in the path of the would-be intruder. If you create enough of these anti-scaling strategies – from secure steel fencing at the perimeter to shuttering to the actual building – it may well deter them from trying at all.

In terms of anti-climb devices (and dependent on the environment) it may simply be a case of installing steel spiking to the roofs in question, perhaps on the roofs themselves, around the drainpipes and guttering or to the top of nearby fencing.

By shoring up the vulnerable access points of a building and addign anti-scaling measures, you will ward off potential burglars… or certainly make things extremely difficult for them, should they persist.
