It is disheartening when you find that your building has been tagged by local graffiti artists. This vandalism can leave your building looking less that professional. Many business owners struggle to keep graffiti off their buildings. While there isn’t anything that you can do to protect your property completely from graffiti, there are some measures that you can put in place to help offer some protection. Big Moose Pressure Cleaning is here to share some tips that will help keep your building from being tagged and covered in graffiti.

Minimize Graffiti with Design Strategies

There are several things that you can do to your building that will help to minimize your risk of graffiti. Consider these design strategies to help make your building less appealing to graffiti artists:
– Layout & Placement: When you have a large, clean slate for graffiti, it is going to make the building far more desirable. The same goes for any signs that are large and an easy target. If you have signage that is going to be desirable for graffiti artists, consider placement of the sign. Make sure it is high and visible. If you have a blank wall, consider sculptures or having a mural painted on the wall. If you have secluded areas around the building without much foot traffic, consider those spaces as well to make the building less desirable.
– Outdoor Furniture: While outdoor furniture can be nice for breaks from work, it can also be used to help graffiti artists reach places that they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Consider the placement of your outdoor furniture. You don’t want to provide artists with any tools that will help them reach areas that they can’t on their own. You can bolt down furniture so that it can’t be moved to help with this.
– Lighting: Lighting is a huge deterrent for graffiti artists. They aren’t as likely to paint in areas that are well lit and highly visible. Make sure your building has plenty of outdoor lighting so that there aren’t any dark areas on the perimeter.
– Surveillance: Having some sort of surveillance in place can be helpful as well. No one is going to paint somewhere that they could be caught on film doing so. You can have cameras to help you with this, security detail, and even lighting that can signal to authorities that there is something going on with your building. Don’t underestimate the power of surveillance and security.
