sorry, i thought you had a solid wall (cement blocks).
I have 5' high of blocks with 4' of chain link fence on top of that so that makes it 9' high actually. I am a bit higher than the street level so people have to make a real effort to see into the property. My kitty corner neighbour in construction can see everything from his 2nd floor windows and a solid 6' fence of blocks would not help that.
Yes I pay my dues at APC and security comes rapidly when I call. The problem is when we go out... nobody in the house except the dog and the alarms. That is why I thought cameras would be useful. Some of the bad guys are known, just need some proof sometimes.
I was asking for recommendation on a company that would come and watch the house when we are away. I thought that maybe a company would be more honest than a lone watchman. I am thinking I am foolish to think that as I type it ! LOL
When u go out for the day ? Or when u leave the dr ??
If its just for the day, keep them guessing....... if they cant see in, they dont know if u are out or not....... ( unless they are keeping tabs,on u..... and security wont help much if they are thst determined..).
I am happy with a 2 and a half / 3m wall, on the inside, higher at places on the outside. Of course they could climb over, even with glass and barbed wire on the top....... but if they dont know what is waiting on the other side, they might think twice......
I scared a couple of curious locals at the beginning ( before I walled next doors windows in
). A rocking chair, mug of joe, amaretto on ice, my dogs and a shotgun....... they dont peek twice.:classic:
I was thinking of cameras ( but amazon fell through by asking if I had stolen my CC.....).
In the end. If u are in the house, dogs are the best alarm.
If u are not in the house, what are u going to do ?? Watch ure dogs get slaughtered ??
No security company out my way...... and I would trust them as far as I could throw them...... or a bit less even.
