Peter:

What are you going to use for entry gates? Something custom made would be cool perhaps with a Clausen family crest on it?

Ron, the fenced in area is around 1 acre. The property is over 5, so no, it does not really follow the property line except in the front where it is running somewhat parallel with it, set back about 30 ft.

Peter,
I'm guessing that the yellow line I added to the property outline, plat 6, is about right for the deer fence then?
What kind of fabric are you using for the fencing?
I anticipate steel, to keep the dogs in as well as the deer out.

Actually, Ingersoll Rand is the parent company for both Trane and American Standard. They also make air compressors.


I'm going to thoroughly simulate an outage to ensure that everything is how it is supposed to be when running on backup power. Just trying to prioritize things.

Speaking of which, the deer fence is coming along nicely, as is hauling the final pile of logs to the mill. This is what I got left to haul at this point.

Going back downhill from the high corner

Looking back up

Bottom section which has a couple of "hexagon" turns

One of 3 access gates (5' x 7'). All gate posts are set in concrete, as is every other post in the rest of the fence line

Area to the right of the driveway. Work in progress

They are watching the fence going up from the woods!

Trusty Ford 1700 used to drill the 40 holes for the posts that got set in cement

I guess I must have lived in the city far to long I can't for the life of me figure out how them poles (deer fence) will keep deer out do they just know this is your line and don't cross it???

I think Peter is going to mount motion detectors to each one. When triggered they will pop up bunker mounted machine guns to ward off would be intruders.:dance1:

Haven't you all seen Lost? When fence is active, if you pass between the poles any living thing will simply be vaporized.

Peter:

In all seriousness, I would like you to detail the installation of the gates and and the electrical parts that go behind it. I may have to install something similar in the future for RAB.

Maybe just put up signs that say "No Deer Permitted Beyond This Point"

I mean the " Deer Crossing" signs seem to work along the highways, the deer pretty much just cross near the signs.:cool2:

May I ask why are you trying to keep thee deer out in an area where there are likely to have deer? planning a garden ?
