Kids/people climbing on your timber pile

[Andy Collins]

I know of a secure roadside compound, with cctv, security etc, kids got in over a holiday weekend and climbed on a pile of pipes (heavy ones) and inevitably the pipes rolled crushing one kids leg badly. The company got fined for failing to adequately secure the stack, and failing to keep the site secure. It was few years ago, i"ll see if i can find a link of the case.

hia firewoodman, when were working on woodland rides with public access through forestry commission land we put up laods of signs they supply to us with danger dont climb on timber stacks onthem, it stops them climbing on them ,but doesnt stop them nicking thewood !

Put up a sign saying ;

DANGER

WASP nests in log stack

 

seems to work a treat!

 

that is a great idea!!!

 

thanks all for advice, so far i have sprayed "" keep off" and ""do not climb" directly onto the ends of some timber poles in the stack with aerosol spray

 

have now looked into getting some signs made now, think i will go for

 

do not climb on timber

please keep to foot paths

do not disturb birds, bats and bees in log pile

 

was warned not to put up a sign that has the words danger on it......as you are admitting that you know there is a danger

 

e.g warning, dangerous dogs live here....changed to...... guard dogs loose in yard!!!

my signs to my land read "trespassers will be beaten to death" failing that if they make it that far the dogs will take care of rest
