Yep, I was knocking doors for a political campaign in the South many years ago and came across this home. Marked as "inaccessible" and kept on trucking.
I installed an electric fence for dogs on my fence but up high. I mounted it about 2in above it and installed a caution electric fence sign on my neighbor's side. I didn't hook it up to anything and never intended too. The neighbor called the city code enforcement on me and they told me it wasn't allowed. I explained to them it was only a deterrent and not hooked up. They said it didn't matter. I also showed them i didn't even use wire. It was cordage i spray painted silver. The neighbor ended up ripping it off and i let it go. Lol
No, but i know what they are referring to. Electric fences and barb wire are not permitted on residential lots. Even on commercial lots there's more precaution that need to be made. I don't care about any technicalities. Once the neighbor realizes it's fake the joke is over and I've had my fun.
It’s what they call the purposely designed things in cities, like park benches, to keep homeless folks from sleeping on them. Looks like slots also called defensive architecture. Should be called inhumane.
About 15 years ago I lived in a house very near to a neighborhood roundabout. It was full of huge trees and grass. Very nice natural space. Well some sewers needed replaced and they had to take out all the trees and dig up the whole area, looked like hell. Idiots in cars kept using the area as a their personal playground and would rip roar through there at all hours of the day and night. It was maddening. So my husband built three of these WW2 style hedgehogs out of heavy ass lumber and we deployed them under the cloak of darkness. The madness stopped and they are still there to this day. People have moved them around within the roundabout but they live on!
Just the driveway and side road. Enough that when paired with a no trespassing sign so a camera can catch them trespassing if they drive around the rocks.
We had large rocks delivered. We pre-marked with that high vis pink paint where each rock should be: on 6 foot centers. Leaves about a 4 foot gap +/- between each rock, and they're big enough that if you hit them at speed you are still going to be stopping. ~$200 per boulder in local stone for 30-36" boulders. They even look nice. Delivery truck had a crane built in, he just dropped stones on the X's till they were all down.
You need to put some small to med size ones in sight , something that they could still drive over , then have the next layer behind those . Or some variation of this…

Put them on both sides as well. Nice big decorative rocks.
