How do I protect my garden furniture from theft?
To protect garden furniture from theft, you can use steel cables or chains, screw them to a solid surface, install motion detectors or surveillance cameras, and ask attentive neighbors for help.
How to protect your garden furniture from theft
Stolen garden furniture that is not secured will not be reimbursed by household contents insurance if it is stolen or damaged. If you own very expensive garden furniture, you should make a corresponding additional agreement with your insurance company.
Of course, there are some ways to secure garden furniture when you are away or at night. These include:
- Steel cables
- Screwing on garden furniture
- high fence
- Motion detector
- Surveillance camera
- attentive neighbors
- Away monitoring
If it is foreseeable that you will be away for a longer period of time, you should put the garden furniture in the garage to protect it from theft. It also helps a little if your neighbors are attentive or if the house gives the impression of being lived in when you are away.
Secure garden furniture with chains or ropes
It is advisable to purchase long chains or special steel cables (€55.00 on Amazon) to secure your garden furniture. The chains or ropes are pulled through all furniture and connected to tables and loungers. This means that the garden furniture cannot be stolen individually.
Install motion detector and camera
Thieves fear the light. They also do not want to be monitored so that they cannot be identified later. Therefore, secure your garden furniture by setting up a motion detector that bathes the garden in bright light when there is movement.
A surveillance camera records whoever is in the garden without authorization. This often has a deterrent effect on potential burglars.
Screwing on garden furniture
If you are sure that your garden furniture will always be in the same place, you can attach it to the terrace or other solid surface with screws. But then they can no longer be moved.
Secure garden furniture in a storm
Heavy garden furniture made of wood or iron usually stays in place even during storms. Furniture made of plastic or light wood should be placed in a sheltered place during a storm, covered and tied together with a strong rope.
Tip
Garden lounges and other garden furniture made from pallets are very heavy. They cannot be easily stolen from the garden and are therefore well protected against theft.
