Thinking of having one fitted so any suggestions or recommendations, even if negative, welcomed.

ps did put Security Posts into search engine, which is absolutely useless on this website. Not surprised though.

Good thieves often don't use the exits and entrances...but at least one route is well coveredwinksealed

"Mole type" security posts are what you want? An outside sleeve is concreted into the ground.

Try H Case and sons

Cradley Heath

West Midlands.

On a lighter note, I watched a nieghbour install 2 fold flat posts at the end of his driveway. . . . . Which he bolted down into his block paved driveway. As he stood back and admired his handywork, his 3 year old daughter, Milly, toddled over and pushed them both over!!! Unseating the block pavers tipping over but very securely bolted to the posts.

Oh how we laughed, and we still put things at the end of his drive for "security" eg, a mop in a bucket, a piece of string between the opening and a line of empty beer bottles

What a sad state of affairs- that we have to spend hundreds of pounds protecting out p&js. Something you work your butt off for and some scumbag thinks he'll help himself. It's true that caravans are stolen to order to give travellers a new home - mine was stolen exactly for that and the only satisfaction I got was that it was recovered and the thieving b******ds denied a free home. Who would want it once that scum's been in it anyway. Claimed the second hand value and started again.

A builder friend of mine lost a trailer attached to a security post - the whole thing had just been yanked out of the ground by some machine - as Merve says if they want it they will get it!  The perfectly ordinary and not new Horse trailer was also behind locked gates!   It seems I had driven past just before the thing was stolen - well into daylight/working hours - and helped him establish the thieves had about a 20 minute window to get away with it!

Thanks folks. Decided to sell the house and move into caravan, a la Malcolm😀, on the basis that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
