New Online Garden Security Store Launched by Essex Family

A new online store dedicated to garden security has recently been launched by a family in Essex. The family saw the need for better security measures after realizing the alarming statistics of thefts from gardens in England and Wales.

According to official crime figures, over 9 out of 10 crimes against households involve thefts from outside the house. In the last 12 months, an estimated 517,000 thefts from gardens have taken place, with items such as bicycles, children’s toys, delivery packages, tools, and garden furniture being commonly stolen. Even plant pots, specimen plants, and hanging baskets are not safe from opportunistic thieves.

Chris Gatland, one of the founders of the new website, explains the motivation behind their venture, “The statistics we read were alarming. We live in a house on a quiet street but being on a corner plot we were aware that our own garden could be vulnerable to intruders – especially during the daytime when we are often out, and we wanted to reduce the risk of losing some of the valuable items we’ve collected over the years.”

The family’s journey to creating the website began a few years ago when they attended a ‘Secured Garden’ exhibition at their local RHS Garden, Hyde Hall. They found a lot of helpful garden, garage, and outbuilding security advice from Essex Police, but struggled to find the products they needed. “Garden centres, DIY stores, and the large trade tool and hardware retailers all offer a limited range of security products, but it was challenging to find everything we needed for securing our garden – and certainly not in one place,” adds Gatland.

Their website, www.mysecuregarden.co.uk, aims to be a one-stop-shop for all garden security needs, offering a comprehensive range of products, devices, and solutions to improve outdoor security and protect valuable possessions stored outside.

“We were complete amateurs when we first started researching garden and outbuilding security,” confesses Gatland. “But it became something of a passion project when we calculated the monetary value of the items we had stored outside, as well as in our garden shed and garage. When we also discovered just how many people are impacted by thefts from outside the house, we realized that the research we had done could be of real benefit to others. High-value items stolen from gardens, sheds, garages, and outbuildings are often not covered by standard insurance policies, so it’s worth checking your policy to make sure you’re clear on what’s covered and putting some simple security measures in place.”

My Secure Garden offers a wide range of high-quality security products, many of which can be easily installed through DIY. As an independent, family-run business, the Gatlands prioritize great customer service and competitive prices. They have sourced all their products from specialist security brands and manufacturers, carefully selecting them for their value and application. Many of these products have also received awards for their design and independent accreditations for their quality and standards.

The timing of the website launch coincides with the winter months, known for an increase in household crimes due to the longer dark evenings. “The winter months unfortunately provide more opportunity for crime,” confirms Gatland. “which means it’s sensible to secure outdoor buildings and spaces. So, if you’re looking for a practical Christmas gift for a family member who’s tricky to buy for, an outdoor security product might be appreciated!”
