Installing a security gate | Homestead Security | Forums

so we have had issues with people going back our road and tearing it up doing mud runs and such. Plus we have had people dumping tires and crap back there. So Rinkus had asked all the land owners if we wanted to gate off the entrances. Only issue is our road is part of the snowmobile trail, so we will have to open the gates in the winter.

So Rinkus had some posts made up out of piping and rims

we were concerned with people not being able to see them, so Rinkus painted them bright orange

and hauled them down to the land

the other land owner brought down his excavator and made quick work out of digging the holes

unfortunately they hit ledge 3 or 4 feet down, so they couldn't be buried as deep as we wanted

Rinkus scored some steel cable from a towing company and after stretching it out over night we ran it throw some orange pex tubing. We also had to drop a log on the right so they don't go around the gate. The neighbor is going to drop 6 yards of gravel right around there to bring the ground up some, I think it came out pretty good
