Pest-Stop Prikka Strip

Product Information

Anti climbing spikes offer a practical, anti climb deterrent ...protecting your walls, fences, gates and flat roofs against animal or human intruders. The police were called and arrived promptly, the kids are apparently well known and are regulars in their note books! Each strip measures 500 x 45mm. Spike height; 15mm. Hinge construction for easy fit to flat or non flat surfaces

In practice, most Local Authority Highways Departments usually consider that barbed wire lower than eight feet from the ground could be a nuisance to highway users.

Please Note; Pink Grip is a solvent based adhesive and is not generally recommended for use with asphalt based surfaces - if in doubt, try a small test strip before commencing installation. My intention is “not to harm” but simply deter entry using a commercially available product that is highly unlikely to cause major injury to an intruder.

In the unusual event where delivery is repeatedly refused or no effort is made to accept delivery, we reserve the right to pass delivery and return courier costs to the customer. 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; 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:as shown here, Prikla strips can be fixed side by side to provide a wider anti-climb barrier around the edge of flat roofs or on top of wide walls Climbing the wall was a hazard to the health of those doing so, by fitting the anti-climb measures I was fulfilling my duties under the Occupiers Liability Act 1984; Designed to cause maximum discomfort, with minimum harm ...these safe anti climb spikes are ideal for protecting your home or business premises. 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. 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.

Adequate warning signs were in place, and whilst these represented a more dangerous product than had been installed this was not a problem (whereas the other way might have been). 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. Please Note: Where prikla strips are used to protect commercial premises the use of warning signs is strongly recommended.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. As people have suggested, he advised clear signs & regular photographs to prove I am taking all reasonable precautions to “deter” unauthorised access to my property.
