Pest-Stop Prikka Strip

Product Information

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;

Next working day delivery is not available for the Scottish Highlands and some remote areas where an additional charge may apply.Each strip measures 500 x 45mm. Spike height; 15mm. Hinge construction for easy fit to flat or non flat surfaces 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; 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. Anti climbing spikes offer a practical, anti climb deterrent ...protecting your walls, fences, gates and flat roofs against animal or human intruders. 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.

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