I have land that I recently acquired and I'm interested in putting a cable across the road that I'm going to make. The property has no fence and the only thing that currently keeps people out is the fact that there are no roads on the whole 80 acres and it is surrounded by a very steep ditch on the two sides that are accessible by the main road.
I understand that if someone wants in somewhere bad enough they are going to get in. And I know ATV's are impossible to keep out. But does anyone manufacture a cable or a lock for that matter that can't be cut with bolt cutters? That seems to be the tool of choice for cutting locks and cables. Also where is good source for cable?
My plan was to bury posts about four foot in the ground on both sides of the road and attach the cable to these posts. Any ideas on how to attach the cable to the post to make it hard to get off? Of course I'm thinking about wood posts but would metal be better and have some sort of metal eyelets welded on them? I thought about using wooden posts and threading the cable through the posts like a needle and attaching some sort of eyelet with a bolt through it and grind the nut until its round. Any ideas?
