Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

Thanks Texan for the info. Not being from TX I was not sure how it works here.
We have the same sensors that you have the link to. Some of the problems I have had is IF you are close to the Hiway they will sometimes give false signal for the big trucks going by. Then sometimes the wind will set them off with moving branches or weeds.
In the winter they worked the best. It is an option and not that expensive, and I put mine in a plastic bag to keep the moisture off so they would work on wet mornings.
I would like a better setup but know it would cost more. We leave the bell outside and have started to double it on one end and single on the other. This way when they come in you get like 2 bells per axle and when leaving they only trip it once per axle.
Just what I have experienced.
