I recommend a combination lock. There are locks made for outdoor use.
Try a marine supplier.

Neither of the two gardens (both around 10 plots) that I manage have
fencing, and theft is the #1 problem. They are both situated on public
parks, and neither has an effective association. My question to those with
fences: Are they locked? Does every plot-holder get a key? Are there
limited access hours? I'd be interested to hear how these and related
details are worked out.

Elizabeth,
If you cruise ACGA links page ( http://www.communitygarden.org/links.php )
viewing various CG(s), you will notice most have some type of security
fence. At our old location in a high tech research park, we did not have a
fence. There was very little pedestrian traffic except for an occasional
runner. We had virtually no vandalism and only a couple of times I caught
someone illegally harvesting.
When the city moved our garden to an urban environment, I insisted on having
a 6' high fence to surround it. Presently, we keep the gates unlocked and
we haven't had a problem. One shed is unlocked and the tool shed's doors
are completely off. Who would want to steal some hoes, shovels, and other
gardening tools... especially when it means they would have to do some
physical work to use them?
I wouldn't worry about school kids stealing vegetables and they will not be
interested in gardening materials as well. Of course, if you put up
scarecrows, that may intice their interest to vandalize them.
Jim

Are there any community gardens who have not had to put up a fence for
security? We are building a community garden behind a church in our
predominantly low-income neighborhood. We were hoping to avoid putting
up a fence as many people use the site as a short-cut to school, library
and businesses. With very little out there so far, we have already
experienced some vandalism. Any suggestions?
