There is a very very quick method of defeating roller shutter doors they are not as secure as a hinged door and only slightly better than a up and over 

to secure saws a van lock box with two internal locks bolted to the floor is probably as good as anything if the saw is too long cut a slot in the box 

van box inside a shed is very good idea 100 %

Thanks for the quick response.

I'll look into the wireless security as I will be in range of WiFi,

I did look at Armourgard.

There doesn't seem to be alot of choice around.

I am slightly concerned with the fact that now Im going from a 3x3 shed to roughly a 7x3 footprint that I will be just inviting someone to have a look now!

I'm just banking on my insurance company giving me the reassurance at the very least to pay out from here after mainly...

Hello everyone,
 
I've recently started up my own business and after my second year draws to a close I'm in a position financially to improve my workshop (Knocking the old one down and building a better one!) [emoji28]
 
I'm going to be using an up and over garage door with 4 point locking as my main security measure, will look at CCTV as and when.
Maybe I'm paranoid but I would really like any ideas on how I can lock up all my chainsaws in a secure but efficient way that isn't too long winded to get to every morning! I've looked up combinations of " Heavy duty Storage box/cupboards etc" but get nothing better than an office cupboard with a little keylock that would take 5 seconds to bypass...
 
I realise that if I ever got done over, that if someone wants to get in, they will anyway, but I still don't want to hand it over on silver platter!
 
Basically, I'd like to see what other people do with their set ups and see if I can get some ideas together.
 
Would really appreciate any input from you guys
 
Thanks
 
Steve   
 
 

There is only one way to guard your kit.
It’s you.
Sleep next to it,(armed) or someone will nick it.
I’ve seen thieves get through everything.
Everything, dogs,locks,boxes,containers.
You can only stop them by being there and forcing them away, bleeding.
Forget the police. They are not interested.
It’s on you alone.
Harsh but true.

Cheap and simple if it’s within range is a baby monitor in the shed with the other half with you in the house.

Layers are everything - don’t tell anyone how you’ve set it all up. Make it difficult to access/egress (not just the shed itself, make it difficult to actually get to) and use bespoke (home made) layers to add confusion. Security lights/alarm/dogs/bear traps/ quicksand/anything that will alert you and slow the thieving rats down (it doesn’t have to cost a fortune). 
The fewer people that know about the possibility of valuable kit being stored on site the better - a sign written van, piles of logs and woodchip etc on show are pikey-magnets.

Time and noise are what you need gravel paths lights outside activated by switches inside to stop false alarms,multiple wires to the shed to stop power cuts some looped to set alarm in house with battery backup the list is endless you have to make it the guy next doors problem cause yours is to difficult think about photocells both nc and no away from the shed to stop them scouting 

however most of this must not show otherwise it becomes the problem too much noticeable security causes interest 

think do you really need a sign written truck, I worked with a carpenter who had every festool going twice in his van the writing on the side said dog walker his van was left alone mine parked next and un written lost a lot of tools
