Pest-Stop Prikka Strip

Product Information

It is also up to the consumer to ensure that the spikes are up to code according to all laws in the area. To do this, you may need to read the fine print. We went for rather more substantial metal spikes. Unfortunately the manufacturer supplied us with the warning signs for "razor spikes" (an interesting product developed in South Africa, bloody lethal). I subsequently had complaints made by local residents (the parents, in other words) to the Police, the Local Authority and the HSE. All of which I was succesfully able to have thrown out as I was able to demonstrate that: Prikka-Strip is a triple row of pointed cones, moulded from polypropylene with excellent UV weathering resistance. Each strip measures 500 x 45mm. Spike height; 15mm. Hinge construction for easy fit to flat or non flat surfaces

Please Note: Where prikla strips are used to protect commercial premises the use of warning signs is strongly recommended. How did they get in? That is the most common question asked after burgled. That is among the other things that you will spend time wondering if you could have done better.The points are staggered for maximum effect. Each strip is 500mm long, 45mm wide and 15mm high which delivers maximum deterrent but minimum harm. You will also need a licensed installer to put in the spikes. You aren't allowed to do it yourself. This may also give you more time to get help. Also, the noise that may be made as they try to navigate through the spikes may help alert neighbours. Next working day delivery is not available for the Scottish Highlands and some remote areas where an additional charge may apply. Anti-climb spikes are a feature that prohibits someone from climbing over a wall or a fence. People usually put up walls and fences to protect their properties.

The laws put in place are so that there aren’t any unnecessary injuries. This is why it is necessary to have a warning sign on a wall that has spikes on it. The law protects everyone, including intruders, so it's important they have a warning. If the barbed wire is not adjoining the highway and an injury results, you could still be faced with a claim for damages under the Occupier Liability Acts. Occupiers of premises have a duty of care, to people entering or using their premises. This duty even extends to trespassers, although it is not as extensive as it is to people lawfully using or visiting the premises. So a burglar, who could not be aware that barbed wire was on top of a fence and injured himself on it, could have a claim against you despite the fact that he was a trespasser. Anti climbing spikes offer a practical, anti climb deterrent ...protecting your walls, fences, gates and flat roofs against animal or human intruders. The other factor that may influence the type of spikes that you get is their weight. The spikes will need to be compatible with the fence or wall that you have. If the spikes are too heavy for the structure, it will not hold up. Designed to cause maximum discomfort, with minimum harm ...these safe anti climb spikes are ideal for protecting your home or business premises.The unique double-hinge design allows it to be formed neatly on fence tops, pipes and other irregular surfaces. I had a very similar problem several years ago with a business premises. Vandals were scaling a wall, causing damage to vehicles and were also posing a risk to themselves by walking up the slope of the wall to bang on the windows of the first floor of a Georgian townhouse (very tall ceilings, narrow wall, significant drop). Rotational spikes tend to be a tad more practical, as they can cut from different angles. This is not the case with one-directional spikes.

Anti-climb spikes are to keep you safe. Yet, they are an inanimate object that will hurt whoever tries to touch them. As such, you need to make sure that they are not a danger to the public or your neighbours.The sharpness of spikes makes them an effective deterrent. That is if the intruders do not come to the party already prepared to deal with anti-climb spikes.

My main question is, what are the legalities of using these type of strips? I have trawled the net but seem to get many different answers as to the use & the law covering these strips. The blades rotate, and this makes it almost impossible to climb over a wall with these spikes. The fact that they are more conspicuous means that they may not look good on every wall. Whilst the spikes are not full proof. They will slow down the process. For some, they will deter any perpetrators, whilst for others, they serve to slow them down.Trim to size using a suitable saw. Curves and bends can be formed by immersing in very hot water. Prikka-Strip can also be easily cut to a double or single row strip using the hinge grooves as a guide. After all, the aesthetic of your wall still matters. The spikes are short and hardly noticeable, that doesn't mean they're less effective. The police were called and arrived promptly, the kids are apparently well known and are regulars in their note books!
