We need the gate to keep the dogs from roaming. The driveway is relatively short. It's just a gravel base covered with asphalt sealer to keep the dust down. Not as fancy as it looks in the pictures.<br /><br />Toejam - The gate is to keep the dogs in, not to keep people out. I don't think claymores would be effective in accomplishing that. Although I do agree that the warning sigh is overkill.<br /><br />NFO - That's why the letters are raised - so you can tell which side is the front in the dark... :-) And, yeah, all that fuss over a gate is just another sign of the encroaching nanny state.CenTexTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026518638421849111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321000796775197665.post-10244264730103256022016-02-03T14:26:15.375-06:002016-02-03T14:26:15.375-06:00Just remember, Front Toward Enemy on the Claymores...Just remember, Front Toward Enemy on the Claymores... :-) And that IS getting a bit 'picky' IMHO re an automated gate... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321000796775197665.post-70696913677134081142016-02-03T08:42:44.051-06:002016-02-03T08:42:44.051-06:00Wouldn't a few claymores with sonic & infr...Wouldn't a few claymores with sonic & infrared sensors scatter around the entrance serve the same purpose?<br /><br />Hence: You wouldn't need a 1) solar panel <br /><br />2) a control box <br /><br />3) stupid consumer product safety commission approved warning sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321000796775197665.post-41855441676722306102016-02-03T05:17:16.204-06:002016-02-03T05:17:16.204-06:00That's one heck of a gate.
