I am putting the finishing touches on my shop build. I am trying to secure my shed on the side of it so I can use it to store more valuable things. I have almost completed the 1x4's on the side tp close it in and am adding a regular old cattle gate to the front. By itself I do not hate what it looks like on the side shed. BUT, I would like it to be a bit more secure and make it less easy to see into it. I want to add something to the gate to make that so. I do not want to add tons of weight to the gate.
DISCLAIMER for Negative Nancy and Captain Obvious: Yes, I know that anything I put on the gate is not going to stop someone who wants to steal my stuff. I also know that a determined crook will still get in.
I was thinking about just putting vertical 1x4's in the gate or a cool driftwood type design like this.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to make this gate a tiny bit more secure and private, without adding a ton of weight?
Here is a picture of my shop and gate.
