About this deal

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; 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; 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.

Please Note: Where prikla strips are used to protect commercial premises the use of warning signs is strongly recommended.

About us

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. The fence/spikes must not be easily accessible by accident from a public highway. The height is not clearly defined, but, it is governed by the location. I.e. a farmer putting barbed wire on a 3” fence between fields is fine, however a house owner putting spikes on a low fence, on a cut-through where kids pass to school is not deemed acceptable. Anti climbing spikes offer a practical, anti climb deterrent ...protecting your walls, fences, gates and flat roofs against animal or human intruders. 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.

Next working day delivery is not available for the Scottish Highlands and some remote areas where an additional charge may apply. I had a very similar problem several years ago with a business premises. Vandals were scaling a wall, causing damage to vehicles and were also posing a risk to themselves by walking up the slope of the wall to bang on the windows of the first floor of a Georgian townhouse (very tall ceilings, narrow wall, significant drop). 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. 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.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: Designed to cause maximum discomfort, with minimum harm ...these safe anti climb spikes are ideal for protecting your home or business premises. Each strip measures 500 x 45mm. Spike height; 15mm. Hinge construction for easy fit to flat or non flat surfaces 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.

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. 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. The police were called and arrived promptly, the kids are apparently well known and are regulars in their note books!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. 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. 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). 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 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.
