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.
Dig a ditch, let it overgrow so its not visible Would bve more fun if peeps have something toermm. "park" in?
All drive-thru junk food vendors should be mandated to write the car's license number on the "food" packaging. Along with Singapore sanctions for littering and graffiti vandalism.
I live rural and I've had several people drive UP the hill to my house,... drove past my" No Trespassing" signs....... I put a sign up "ROAD SPIKED" permission required to proceed........... BOY DID THAT WORK for the few that could read.OH WELL.
😂👍
The sign that worked for me was NO TRESPASSING SURVIVORS WILL BE PROSECUTED
That's good too but like the spike idea.... along with real spikes about a hundred feet from the sign..( custom built with deployment system for after dark ). works really nice, ask a Sheriff Deputy about that , the one that didn't believe my sign and could not read too , I guess.... oh darn.
@@danbailey96 A lawyer could consider that as an implied threat. Planning is wisely done without emotion since juries often side with goblins.
I like in the end he showed how easy it is to cut the chain link 😅

🤔first heavy snowfall I’d imagine you’d wished the gates were a foot off the ground.
Thought the same, he replied no to my question. He can always raise in the future.
We don’t get that much snow anymore
Bunch of amateurs
theres a tool called a snow shovel and another called a snow blower
Good for them.
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.
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!
Don’t forget to put a sign on the new gate Private property No trespassing
A under video surveillance sign wouldn't hurt either....

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.
A date is a serious matter for the youth 😄
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.
Maybe a "pay by the hour toll gate" might have added some extra coin in your pockets lol.
Best idea. i don’t understand. Is it all because of jealousy? Someone is getting some, and you are not.
@@SPUDHOME At this exact time some get some somewhere. It is not about jealousy. Toll booth is nice idea :D
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.
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😆
They can just drive around the gate. Too easy!
I agree! 1:31
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.
@@RamsinGabriel The people that are fcking behind the dumpsters are driving heavy machinery?
@@WayneMarion Lol, discreet dating !
I'm still thinking a nice deep trench that you dont see till youre in it 😁
I would put concrete inside posts, and this first gate don't work, because you can drive next to it.
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.
your first installed gate needs some boulders put in on both sides otherwise they just drive around it. very nice job !!!
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. 👍
Great job Dave , always satisfying when you can tick off another job .
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. :)
Used one years ago when I worked for a guardrail company putting in miles of guardrail on the highways
Frank D. Piledriver was his name. Driving posts was his game.
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.
YEP!! Great work on the prevention gates!! Love it! One ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!! Nice work!
You should weld a cap on top. When water gets inside,freezes it will push posts up.
Yeah
Fill with very wet cement & trowel the top for smooth finish. Worked well for me.
That sure beats using the auger and pouring concrete.

Yep, they are just going to drive around it. Nice gate, good job guys. Have a great day.
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
@@mappling5 Quite likely.
A gate without a fence. Well done.
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
Looks Great DD! Next time Andrew C has some large boulders, he can drop them off for you for either side of the gates!! 👍
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 😀
That’s what they did they measured from the top
One pin goes up the other down so they can't just left the gate off the pins.. You did a nice job of measuring twice and doing 1 tim !!!
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
Caltrops are illegal.
Very Nice job! Very Professional Work. 👍
😂😂 I have seen this kind of work before. Without support those posts will not last long before they start sagging.
Those posts are 3+ feet in the ground
@@user-om3ko6qp4n Yeah, and so? Soft muddy ground without rocks. Wait and see.
We just bored an oversize hole and surrounded the post with cement. Also filled the posts with cement. It is not going anywhere.
@@MrTruckerf That's more like it. NOW it's not going anywhere.
@@MrTruckerf Until the ground freeze.
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
oh no the make out lot is closed!!
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.
Put in a T post on each side and stretch a cable from it to the gate post. Cheap. Or, have Andrew bring you a couple of big rocks to put on each side.
I was thinking the same with some large rocks for the sides. Good eye.
I was thinking a nice deep trench that you dont see till youre in it 😁
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.
Yeah they just drive around.
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!
I used my tractor and a 12” auger and went down 4’ then concreted the 4” steel tubing in. Hasn’t budged after 15 years.
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!
These gates are pretty light weight
Leave it open valentines day😂 that red Dodge in the background looks great🤠
Now with the gates on it looks better and it should signify no trespassing.
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?
Note they'll just park infront of the gate and walk around with an air mattress lol
😅
Now I think its only fair that you get a street sign made to put up at the gate called "Lovers Lane"
LoL, I wonder how many kids were conceved their?
Love those cordless keys.
Title of video cracked me up. Thanks for the upload
Either cap the post or drill drain holes in the bottom of the post so water drains away. Good job, looks great.
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.
To add a Sign “Do not enter” “Private Property” by “the Drone controlled entry”. ❤
Whew! I worried for a moment there! But it's all good, I'll just go around the gate!😮😅😂😊❤
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! 😂
Thanks yeah there great
need a barrier beside the gate boulders work great or if you have more posts drive them in a few feet apart and weld wire on the posts
The old iron still getting the job done. I love to see it.
Very Nice Work Dave looks great
Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Hi Dave, new subscriber, KZhead AI algorithm had this video pop up. Yes! Gates and Fences! The greatest things since sliced bread. I love that post pounding truck!!!!!!💯👍
Thanks
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
I filled my posts with cement. Rock piled 20 feet on each side.
Good work on the gates, looks too easy though to just go around one gate, especially if the ground is dry or frozen
Reminds me of the tollbooth in Blazing Saddles. 😂
Anything for a video right.
Just build a enclosed pole building / barn and section it off into rooms & rent the rooms by the hour 😂
Then he will still be hurt. Someone getting a little? And is not getting any.
It's sad how so many people have no respect for other people's property!! Good job!
Those are the last poles that will get buried on that property.
Kids that are finding themselves and adults that are lost, those are the ones who usually pull in and find and empty lot to do whatever they do. That post driving rig does not mess around. I bet you couldn't dig one of those holes by hand in the time you set all 4 gates; nice. Big rocks spaced so far apart that it is easy to walk and maintain but not so easy to drive through would keep them from going around. Last time I had a problem with that and installed a gate, they drove down 100 yards in the field and cut down a couple trees so they could drive onto the road there, Big rocks ended that.
I'll reword that. Idiots ( young or older ) with no respect for others property will go on someone else's property without permission.
Where are we supposed to go?
To the neighbors
First stop would be a source for reliable birth control. Then on your way to a comfy hotel or motel room in a safe area.
The 10 commandments say it well ! Thanks for helping people think before sinning,your gates are a good reminder to stop and think .
@@davidpeiffer8989 Where did you go?
Ahhh, darn. I always looked for places like that to go when I was a teenager 45-50 years ago. But, I understand.
They had teenagers back then?
Surely, they can drive up the side of the one set.the other set had the trees blocking.also, I would have cut a cap out of the section cut off, too
Being a teenager is hard enough and you just bumped it a notch ,have a heart.
Maybe it’s not a teenager
If you put a fence along the side and place big rocks just in front it's going to discourage anyone from trying to get around as to get back on main street they have to come back out same way that they have gone in so if they are stealing they're going to get arrested for it or for trespassing as they are behind fence
The post look ok,but anybody with a battery powered sawzall could be through that gate in minutes.I used 6 inch well casing for my post, 5 feet in the ground with concrete.As for the gate I used a rail road rail.Hope you don't live in snow country as the gate is to low to the ground.
That first gate can very easily be driven around even with a regular car unless you put some boulders on the dirt on the outsides of the posts.
You wouldn't be replacing 6" pressure treated in 3 years...more like 20 minimum.
‘Romance getaway’ 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dig some trenches about 3 feet deep and 3 feet wide add 6 inches of 1 inch stone in the bottom. When they try to drive around the gate they fall in the trench and damage their vehicle.
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 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.
These machines are designed to have a wide range of motion. Why turn the truck around when you have a turntable?
3/31/24..Happy Easter Dave🐇🥕🐰..Lots of interesting equip to 'pound posts' into your soft/no rocks ground. Are you going to put some type of 'top' on these posts?..gotta keep rain/snow out or else rust eats 'em up, aye? Also agree with other comments re: left/right sides of gates..gotta get something..'T' posts & weld chain across..or grab some of Andrew's 'keep rocks' (from his Blasting project) & spot few lft/right. Placing few big Rocks & your 'new' Skid Steer or Excavator would make another interesting video, aye?😊⚙️🔧💪🍺
If you want to seal up your posts take some packing styrofoam jam it down in there tight about 6 in and fill it up with concrete or instead of concrete you use expanding foam cut off flush and paint it I've done both
Good for you, and great job guys!
That chain cuts so easily.
Posted: "Get a Room!" 🤣🤣
# 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.
Wobbling drill bits done make them cut better it just ruins the bit from cutting straight .Hold the drill bit straight it'll fly thru using the taper bits. Shot of cutting oil helps !!
Two inch pipe welded in center on each gate with a 1 1/2" pipe to make a gate lock to hold gates straight in center will make it stronger and easier then chain n locks.
When a bit gets a dead spot in it you have to wobble it to get past that point. We use old bits in that manner all the time. They are expensive so you get as much use out of them as possible!
signage is better, " No Romancing, Private Property" Daves watching with intent to post in youtube😅😅😅
What you need the.do Dave is either fill the poles or concrete or put a cap on them so the water don't go down inside of it. Freeze and busted steel right out
What’s to stop from driving around the gates? It appears to be field. Can you drop boulders on the sides?
No way to adjust that gate after welding the hinge to the posts that will lean over time, best I can tell from the video. Looks great for now.
Now weld a plate on top to keep the water out!
For being in upstate New York I think you mounted them to low to the ground because of the amount of snowfall you get. I bet after a good snowfall you won't be able get them open......
You should have excavated 300mm deep length ways with the road and put the gates in the same direction, try to get out of that mister 😂😂
Nice job ... I think you could make me a nice kayak rack that would stay level and plumb forever.
I would have used the cutoffs to make caps on top of the posts to prevent moisture getting inside, and miscellaneous debris.
My cousin set up a mole trap on his grate. If someone drove over the grate it set off the shotgun shell and scared the hell out of the driver but went off underground. It cut down on the lover's lane appeal of the location.
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.
Posts are level, the grounds not
@@Dumpster_Dave Plumb.
I would still install some digital cameras locks only keep honest people honest, real thieves will blow through that lock in 3 seconds. But you are on the right track.
All that work and money and a 9/16" wrench gets me in through your gate !!! Weld the top hinge bracket to the gate otherwise a 9/16" wrench undos the top hinge bracket, slide it down off the hinge bolt and lift the bottom hinge off and you are in !!! Old farmer here, IF you "forget" or lose your key you can get in !!! !
like the post driver sure beats doing it by hand
