"This massive 20mm thick hardened steel hoop features a 48mm diameter eye and sits on a 6mm hardened steel plate, well that's what you see above ground. Under this is a 23mm thick bolt with another hardened steel plate at its end. As with any anchor, placement is the key and Squire do offer good advice here recommending fitting close to a wall and in a position where the bike/motorbike will be above the anchor making it very awkward for a thief to attack this part. Breaking the anchor is a futile exercise as this thing is incredibly tough. For outright strength Squire are the way to go. It's £15 cheaper than it's rivals and that saving will go some way to the price of the other security items you'll need."

"This hasp and staple from Squire is constructed with 6mm thick hardened steel and seriously heavy duty coachbolts to hold it in place (8mm thick to be precise) but the really clever part of it is the folded over padlock shield. Simply brilliant when used with the Squire 39CS padlock, as it's impossible to see the shackle never mind attack it. In fact the only way to attack the hasp would be to drill the bolts, so unless a potential thief is so well tooled up that they've come with a power drill and power source they aren't getting through this, and if they are that tooled up they'd probably get in regardless. It is made to fit outward opening shed or garage doors and is available as either right or left-hand opening."
