A home security alarm system is a must, but how do you handle a home security yard sign? Home security yard signs inform burglars that the home is protected. Since burglars like to get in and out of a home quickly, they will pass up homes with signs in the yard. Placing the sign in the correct area gives burglars a chance to see them no matter where they stand.
- Home security yard signs on the front lawn should be a foot to a foot and a half (12-18 inches) off the ground. Signs too high off the ground are blown away or tampered with by wind interference. Signs too low won’t be seen; the grass will cover some or all the words.
- A Home security yard sign gets the most response if it is closest to the road. However, obey the law. Have it at least 10 feet away from the road. Placing it too close to the road will result in a phone call or written notice to move it.
- Face the sign in the direction of heavy traffic. The sign must be seen by as many people as possible. Homeowners know the area well enough to know which directions bring the most traffic.
Examples of the best places t
o place a home security yard sign is first floor windows, driveway curb, front lawn, exterior of entrance ways, outdoor walls and fences. Make sure the area is well lit at night and the provided space follows all the rules above. The front of the house may be the default, but it might not have the most traffic or the best lighting, so that part of the home may not work.
It’s all right to have more than one yard sign. Place one on the house and another on the lawn or fence. Use all the window and door decal stickers and spread it out throughout the property. Make sure the door and window decals are eye level so everyone can see them.
