Landscape funneling is an effective yet slightly demanding strategy in terms of time and money when it comes to home defense.
The core idea is to guide an intruder towards certain areas of our property, specifically towards well-secured and reinforced doors. These areas should be well-lit and equipped with video surveillance.
This guiding can be achieved not only with fencing but also through strategic placement of shrubs and bushes. However, it’s important to ensure that these plants are not large enough to provide hiding spots for intruders as they approach your home.
An intruder attempting to climb a fence is more likely to be noticed by neighbors or detection systems.
To implement this, examine your property and think about the natural pathways someone might take to try and forcibly enter your home. Consider whether there are any fences that a potential intruder might avoid climbing for fear of attracting attention from the neighbors.
