30 foot wide aluminum slide gate and we had to run about 300 feet of underground power as well as communication lines. I'm sure the installers did well, but we looked into a DYI and the gate alone was close to $10K as I recall. I have started doing all of the maintenance myself since the gate company has gotten even more expensive as time has gone on.
The gated community issue.

Signs are meant to convey a message... Congratulations!

I don't consider that a deterrent at all, but an admittance to a metal state of mind. I'd never worship one man.
However, even if you didn't have those signs up, I still would not trespass.

This is the only warning hanging on the outside of my gate.
If the gate is closed, you aren't welcome on the other side.
50 ft. After crossing the gate, the first camera should pick you up and alert my phone and a chime inside the house.
25 more ft and the next camera should also pick you up. alerts my phone and chimes inside the house.
If I'm home, I've been waiting to welcome ya !

Not an issue out this way. Everyone is armed and everyone is a redneck too. Me included.

My wife is about to move to a gated communiy to be near the grandchildren. I don't mind the gate. I mind the HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. I'm staying in the old house to fix it up and either sell it and follow her or whatever. We'll see how things work out.

You over paid for the hf alarm. We paid $8. Hell our dog isn’t even a good driveway alarm.

Same where I live.
The Post Office does not deliver to individual homes in this area. There is a bank of mail boxes in one location where everyone for several miles has to pick up their mail. For me, it's close enough that I walk it, just for the exercise. On the way I walk past one of my neighbor's houses. That neighbor has been gone for a few days - no vehicles around. Yet for the past few days UPS/Fed Ex has been delivering packages and stacking them in front of the house steps. This afternoon there were 4 big boxes there, a couple with big bows on top. Not one "porch pirate" has touched them.

I've explained to my one boy who likes to play "redneck" that there is a difference between "country living" and "white trash redneck living".
I have no signs posted on my property, and the one access gate off one road has been gone for a couple of years now. I had an issue with trespassers one time since we lived here when I caught them, funny enough, never had a problem after that LOL
