Pest-Stop Prikka Strip

Product Information

Stega strips are of polypropylene which is also strong and durable. These are more durable and multi-directional. They are more conspicuous and will cut from different angles. 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.

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;The anti-climb spikes are usually made of different materials. The placement depends on the style and design of the spikes. 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.

How did they get in? That is the most common question asked after burgled. That is among the other things that you will spend time wondering if you could have done better. Prikka-Strip can be screwed or nailed (rustproof) using the holes provided (more holes can be drilled if needed).Each strip measures 500 x 45mm. Spike height; 15mm. Hinge construction for easy fit to flat or non flat surfaces

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. 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? The points are staggered for maximum effect. Each strip is 500mm long, 45mm wide and 15mm high which delivers maximum deterrent but minimum harm.

To stop people climbing over your wall means you need to get spikes that are difficult to weave through. You also want to make sure the spikes are durable enough so that they don’t bend if someone were to put a lot of weight on them. 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. 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.
