Gates and Fences Bar Burglars
Probably the most important home security is a gate and fence.
Before there were keys and locks, there were gates and fences. And long before there were closed circuit televisions and the more modern security devices.
The well being that one feels from a correctly installed gate and fence is very real; there is also a mental boost of well being; probably that is by now part of our genetic make up.
From our earliest recorded times, amongst mankind’sfirst actions in settling anywhere was to set out a fence and gate. A gate indicates property and ownership. It sets the limits that a stranger can approach. It protects the inhabitants and keeps the unknown and unwelcome away.
You’ll be aware of this yourself when you are visiting any fenced and gated property. As soon as you, invited, walk into the property and hear the gate close behind you, you feel a sense of relief and calm. That feeling of relief is real. You immediately feel the relief in any gated and fenced property.
These are also a definite and psychological barrier to burglars! Even though a fenced yard and a gate across your driveway may not be very high, just the fact that they are there says to the would-be burglar: Stop! This is our fortress!
The fence and gate do not constitute a threat or menace — instead they portray confidence and stability.
Security experts agree: properties that are completely enclosed with strong fences and gates are far less vulnerable to burglarly.
There are other helpful aspects. You’ll feel safer about your kids playing in a fenced yard; strangers are barriered, and your children can’t run out into traffic.
Your pets are contained by a fence around your property.
Also, a nicely designed fence and gate increases your property’s beauty and value.
