This is why I'm trying to be proactive and get ahead of the crime curve here.
Now that I have my garage finished I've gotten the double side gates going I to the backyard almost complete and the security gate between the house and the garage finished.
The double side gate is made from 2" thick wall steel square tubing. It has four 3/4" drop bars that will go into a concrete bulkhead (forming and pouring next weekend) and upper locking bars. Still have more fencing to do, trim and painting to complete. Then landscaping.
The security walkway gate has a commercial lock system and it's extremely heavy duty.
Other side of the house has 4' vinyl picket fence for looks. Behind it is 7' steel bars that go up and then angle back with welded steel farm fence. Impossible to see from the road but one hella mess if someone tried to come over it.
All of this is covered with motion sensor lights, security system and the cheap cameras that are working 100% satisfactorily.
Next step is remote gate at the beginning of the driveway. You'll have to get through that before you attempt these other other entrance points.
My truck and wife's car go in the garage. Work truck parks on the side but nothing to steal out of it and if it does get stolen someone needed a stripped truck more than I do.
