@randallan8158 as a 19 old kid we had a place that alot of people went with they're dates. It was a old rock quarry and just like you said we just went right around the gate with our trucks. We had a well worn in trail. I'll be it still gets use to this day.

I put 6” round posts cemented in the ground and 2@ 12’ tube gate all around my farm (6 sets) 35 years ago and I had to replace all of the gates because they rusted out but the posts are still going strong, nice job!
The suggestions for tire spikes (and signage) are on point. I use deep ditches (the removed spoil makes nice berms) and dump logs and wood waste around my perimeter.
Great Gate, you should although had fill the posts with concrete and exact in th middle of the gate a small stop post with two hole and a lock stick on both gates, that way in a storm it want clapper until it self destructs. within a month or so there will be a pad at both sides of the gate😆
Get concrete barriers like they use at race tracks. Set them with a crane and you are done. Many Concrete companies pour them when the trucks come back with leftovers.
You should fill the posts with concrete and either get big boulders on the sides or make a rebar enforced concrete pieces. That way nobody would try to get around. And perhaps a hinge to keep the two gates locked together to prevent them from swinging a bit.
The implied permission has now been removed, it would certainly leave me or any “reasonable person” (per se) in no doubt not to enter without lawful authority or reasonable excuse . All the best from England.
If you get a lot of snow like I do you might find you want to move those gates up so you don't have to push/drag them through the snow. I did my double gate like 30+ years ago, still as good as the day I installed them. Nice work. 👍
I've seen them drive around the gates and make another way in. They've also driven further down the road and start to get in that way or make a layover point off the road. Those small trees aren't going to stop it unless you fence it off as well.
I didn't want to be negative for the added expense on his part but they can drive around the posts and some expletive expletive will try knocking the gates over.
i made caltrops and spread where trespassers drive in. they think they are driving past the gate but end up with 4 flat tires. then we have the car towed. caltrops are easy to make
You obviously have never driven heavy machinery over untouched ground before. Anyone going around is going to probably sink in about 6" of mud. I dont think anyone is going around as easy as you think.
Like the reflective tape . Think you should have hung gates at least 1' above ground. No set of gates will hang level against time, weight. Should have hung gates with slight crown where they meet in middle, then you wont have a set of sway-back gates. My 2 cents. Some things to think about next time you hang gates. I did like Galvanized Posts. Good watch
The post will eventually sag towards the center if you don’t shore it up. I like many of the comments below but I would also install cameras and a sign saying you are being recorded. That will stop a lot of the trespassers. My brother had the same issue with trespassers on his commercial property until he added surveillance. They are cheap to purchase and install now and give you a piece of mind. I can’t wait for more videos, you do a great job!
Just a tip if you driving posts like that again, if you measure from the top down instead of from the bottom up to get your depth line it removes any issue from the posts being different lengths. Saves having to cut the tops 😀
Looks great Andrew. You might need to add some big heavy rocks around the edges to people from going around. It doesn't matter what you have they will still try and get in.
There was a gate installed by the Nature Conservancy on a mountain trail in the territory of the fire station I worked at similar to yours. We found it bent badly but who ever tried to get thru didn't. I am sure by what we found at the gate it did substantial damage to the 4x4. I think they were Tractor supply gates they (NC) had put up to keep people out of land they had bought and were littering.
Isn't that just brilliant? At some point there was someone who had to invent that one vehicle add-on with the sole purpouse of driving fence posts in the ground fast and efficient. Whoever it was, well done. :)
Is that thingy removable from the truck bed, I mean what do you do with the truck when you don't need it? How many times a year do you drive poles into the ground?
After WWII, a lot of farmers bought Jeeps and put augers on the back that hooked up to a PTO. Great way to put a LOT of fence posts up in a short amount of time.
Dave it’s ashamed we land owners need to take these steps to keep people off of our properties. Unfortunately they’ll push on the gates and loosen everything up. Best of luck it looks good, Happy Easter…John
Well done, very professional, gate hangers up and down so those rascals can't lift the gate off the hangers. Here in England I've never seen a gate you can adjust to the hanger, makes sense.
Good way to do it. We augered holes and put telephone poles 6 ft down, to hold our gate. I think that was 15+ years ago, still fine shape. Will you fill the box beam with anything?
Steel Post will corrode especially at the area around where the post meets the ground. Paint the post before putting it in the ground. Take a pump up sprayer tank and mix a little mineral sprits and boiled linseed oil inside the tank. Shake well and then spray the inside of the pipe from bottom to top and let it set for three days. Once the pipe is in the ground fill the pipe with spray foam and if wants leave a little gap at the top and pour a little concrete to make a top and when dry, paint it. Will last for many, many years.
Back in the ‘50s in central Wisconsin, my maternal Grandfather bought an old farm up in Jackson County. My Dad and I spent a week’s vacation cutting tamarack trees, stripping and creosoting them and digging them in along the property line on either side of the road. We put in a steel gate and posted it all along the barbed wire fence. We arrived for deer season to find the fence cut and a bunch of assholes from Chicago had set up camp on the road! They claimed first that they owned the place and then that the owner had given them permission. My Grandfather told them that he was the owner and that they had ten minutes to unass the premises! We took their auto license numbers and reported them to the game warden and state police. I have always hated Chicago and Illinois since then, although the jerks from Milwaukee weren’t much better. Now I live in southern New Hampshire and have to deal with the Massholes!
Easy with the hatred there, friend! Just as you’ve discovered, the ‘Massholes’ are just like their urban Chicago counterparts i.e. victims of their upbringing in an urban environment. Be grateful that these metropolises exist because if they didn’t, these people would have to spread out & they’d be your neighbors! Also, Illinois consists of 102 counties. Only a half dozen are connected to that tainted upper right hand corner. Don’t hate Illinoisans. Outside of that area….they’re just like you!
Nice work. I would only suggest to use steel chains on both end of those polls and tight them to ground by making concrete pad on one side and that steel pole on other side.. ..it would increase stability of that pole and second more important..it wouldn't allow to go around those poles....but it looks good as it is as of now..but why not make it even better :)
Can make caps out of flat steel or aluminum, an inch larger than the posts, and just glue them on top with shoe-goo or e6000 or one of the equivalent. No welding required.
Greenham Common airbase had a few gaps in the perimeter fence. Courting couples would often drive through and park up. Which could prove embarrassing for patrols.
I mounted two of those eight footers by myself three weeks ago... just enough gate to say, "Stay the hell off my property!"... and some good chain to keep them locked.
Those guys worked like a well oiled machine, those sets of gates came out perfect. I like the galvanized posts, I used cedar trunks for mine, looks cool but anyone with a chainsaw can get in! 😂
I don't understand why the yellow vehicle with the pile driver has a turret. It seems like unnecessary expence when all you need to do is turn the vehicle round. Having said that, it is a handy machine.
It is a pity that we need these extra safety precautions to keep unwanted people off our property, but it is reality. Good looking gate you have there!
So many “thEy wILL JUst DRIvE arouND DA gate!” comments. Looks like this was just a gate install video, I’m sure he has a plan to prevent people driving in there!
Unless the nut on the upper adjustable hanger is spot welded, all you need is a wrench to detach the gate and then swing it around out of the way, or a battery powered grinder, $40 from HF.
# 1:03 don't make those hinge bolts @ the same level, 1/4 inch I recommend, so you don't have to get them BOTH started [ when putting the gate on ] at the same time.
I gated off all my access points several years ago and added boulders and steel posts on the sides to make sure no one could sneak in. So far it's kept people out.
Cordless power tools make light work of mild steel gates & their hinges. Has that happened yet? Did anybody come and cut through the gate or its hinges?
Nice gates, but I'd have opted for pairs of gates with the fold-over arms which lock them rigidly together. Now you need fences or hefty boulders to stop people driving round the sides.
That part of the world is crooked cause no way those posts were straight. For future reference, maga verify that the person holding your level is qualified for the job. 😊 Andrew had posts that screwed into the ground and Dave has them slammed in. I never would have guessed that in a million years. Glad I saw it with my own eyes.
Nice job, but I was just curious as to what’s going to stop folk driving around the gates, there’s plenty of room for a 4WD to get around 3 of the four sides ? . Cheers
hi, yes it will last a long time but not the black paint that you painted your posts, because on galvanized metal the paint does not stain it dries you must treat the metal with vinegar before painting, I have already experienced with galvanized metal and all the paint has lifted
I would cap the posts so they don't fill with water and put a few boulders on the sides so no one can drive around. You guys did a great job and looks nice.👍
Yes. Either place very large boulders for 10'-15' on either side of the gate or place chain link fence on either side of the gate.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing watching this.
@randallan8158 as a 19 old kid we had a place that alot of people went with they're dates. It was a old rock quarry and just like you said we just went right around the gate with our trucks. We had a well worn in trail. I'll be it still gets use to this day.

your first installed gate needs some boulders put in on both sides otherwise they just drive around it. very nice job !!!

You should make concrete bollards to the sides of the gates. Just make your forms, drive some rebar, fill with crete and paint them after its dry.

You should weld a cap on top. When water gets inside,freezes it will push posts up.

Fill with very wet cement & trowel the top for smooth finish. Worked well for me.
I'm sure they make plastic caps (with beveled tops) that pop on.

Great job Dave , always satisfying when you can tick off another job .
In the areas where they can drive around the gates, you should install tire spikes.
100% agree
Would you not rather they just go somewhere else?, now you have a car/truck waiting recovery on your drive.
I would just put some large rocks or small boulders.
which sounds good but illegal
