Keeping your garden office cabin secure

Using log cabins as workspaces is becoming increasingly popular as more people now work from home. 

A garden office cabin can often contain expensive equipment like computers, laptops and printers, so it is important that those items are protected and the building is secure.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to secure these log cabins is by adding an alarm system. There are numerous options for these, such as having one that is linked to the main home alarm or having a silent version. A noisy alarm though may be perfect for giving potential burglars a fright and put them off venturing any further. 

Security cameras in log cabins are a visual way of warding off thieves. Many would be immediately deterred from trying to break in if they see a CCTV camera set up.

Having secure doors and windows is another way of keeping outdoor huts and gazebos used for work sealed. Double glazed options offer additional security, and extra locks on doors and windows can help provide peace of mind that your valuables are safe.

Adding visible signs to a garden cabin room to inform intruders that the building is alarmed and monitored is a good deterrent. It is also advisable to insure your building against theft, enabling you to repurchase any essential equipment if the worst-case scenario should happen.
