Pest-Stop Prikka Strip

Product Information

Designed to cause maximum discomfort, with minimum harm ...these safe anti climb spikes are ideal for protecting your home or business premises. 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. 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.

I was not using unreasonable measures, the spikes were a commercial (rather than home-made) deterrerent made for this purpose. They were not unduly sharp or barbed, they were fitted out of the reach of children and out of casual reach; My fence is at the end of a private drive at the side of my neighbour’s property & is high enough to prevent accidental injuries. There is no public right of way & there is no reason for anyone to come close to the fence.After all, the aesthetic of your wall still matters. The spikes are short and hardly noticeable, that doesn't mean they're less effective. Construction is also as significant as the direction of the spikes. This will also determine how effective the spikes will be. Most companies make spikes that can be on top of walls. This makes it difficult for anyone to grab the top part of the wall, because of the spikes. Do anti-climb spikes stop thieves and criminals from climbing the wall? Section 164 Highways Act 1980, says that where, on land adjoining a highway, there is a fence made with barbed wire in or on it and the wire is a nuisance to the highway, a notice may be issued by the Local Authority for the nuisance to be removed. 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:

How effective spikes are, depends on what you are trying to keep out. You are most likely looking for a way to keep out thieves, and as such you want to know how effective the spikes will be. It is crucial to understand that the spikes do not mean the wall is now full proof, and no thief will be able to jump over it. Prikla Strip offers a simple, affordable and practical solution for use in any location where you want to deter intruders or animals without using a product which could be life threatening or risk causing serious injury to intruders or pets. For obvious safety reasons, the installation of Prikla Strip at a height of less than head height is not recommended.Anti climbing spikes offer a practical, anti climb deterrent ...protecting your walls, fences, gates and flat roofs against animal or human intruders. The placement of the spikes regulates how effective they are. They must be in such a manner that the wall is inaccessible and cannot be climbed.

The spikes that you can use on your wall also need to be safe as much as they're put there as a deterrent for thieves. The safety aspect comes in that the spikes should never pose a danger to the public or your neighbours. Ensure that you know the by-laws in your neighbourhood so that you don’t have to make amendments. If you use anti-climb spikes, you need to make sure that you have a warning sign for the general public. We hope this article helps you decide on anti-climb spikes for your wall. Prikka-Strip can be screwed or nailed (rustproof) using the holes provided (more holes can be drilled if needed). 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.

We’ve been having a problem recently with some local youths, who think they have the right to enter my garden when they feel like it. 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. 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. 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.
