Part of my layered approach, I've brought some of them scaffold eyes the things that secure scaffold to a building, well they are rated to take 1250KG and have M18 fitting a few of them in the garage concrete floor for ground anchors and a couple more in the lintel to take scaffold tube which you slot up and drop into 50mm dia holes in the concrete floor, secured with a couple of padlocks so they cant be removed, means landy cant be move from the garage without going through scaffold tube or cutting pad locks, and secured underneath with ground anchors, thing is you can pick them up with a fixing for about £15 each so 4 £60 cheaper than a purpose made ground anchor, you have 4 things to be cut through hard to use a angle grinder under a lany in a confined space like a garage.
It all helps Orhdpos  |

As part of a layered approach that's a good idea. I suggest stuffing a length of rebar down the scaff tube and filling it with concrete, since it would be easy enough from your description to cut the tube in well under a minute without a sound. With concrete and rebar, it's still under a minute but noisy. A 4.5mm ball will fit fully in the recess in the screw head. A 5mm won't bottom out but might go in if you belt it! |

I decided to fit heavy duty security posts, the front one is telescopic and the side post that boxes the landie in is a lift out post. Doesn't prevent door theft though...

Your right, but I couldn't care less about the Ford as its a company car. And it's not mine |
