Claymore mines are very good , but do warn the postman.

That looks pretty sturdy.

I have a sign on my gate that reads.

I have 4 dogs and at least 1 of them bites.

You could be risking their lives as it could be construed that you knew of their tendency to be vicious. You have to be very careful about signs these days.

Any one stupid enough to come through my yard gate with 4 dogs out loose deserves to get bitten for not heeding the warning. We get a lot of 'Scrappies' around here that will nick anything not nailed down. Not many would risk it.

JS…there are 6 coach bolts that get fixed, they have not been fixed in this photo, as the photo was just an example,
i will be doing a little bit in the video when we get the place, showing the lock and some other security things

24 volt 400 pound electromagnetic pull locks are very good on metal gates that have three welded hinge pins , one of which is often the middle one is welded upside down to stop the gate being lifted off .
So long as you can use a remote for the key lock switch or hide it and the same with the battery power supply .

Any shoot bolt fix especially in timber is usually easily overcome .

These 400 pound electromagnets are similar to those used in big buildings to hold fire doors open , as soon as the alarm is sounded via the alarm system the power is turned off and the doors swing closed with their actuators without any human interference .

my only thoughts on any thing which needs electric is, they have the tendency to break down, or you need a power supply…in all honestly, if they want to get in, or get something out, they will always find a way, all i want to do is either make it really hard for them , or time consuming, where they may just wonder off,

in my case, the gates are on the main road or i should say a busy lane, and there will be two gates to go through, on one entrance, plus i may fit a removable post…

i am not saying the area has any record of farm theft, but after spending thousands on machinery, i just want to make the place as secure as possible

and, and the bolt, would also have a metal plate at the back of the gate
