New Entry Gate - Planning

The drive to my property gate is formed from a 50' easement taken equally from my land an my neighbors.  My neighbor states that when no one is around, local high school students park at the end of our drive and drink.  I've never seen any or beer bottles but he states he has pictures of them from game cameras he has setup in the area. 

Two weeks ago while mowing at our land, the neighbor stopped by to say there were some visitors on the drive the week prior.  We discussed adding a gate at the start of the drive and placing a shared combination lock on the gate.  I like the idea as it keeps people off the road but also keeps people from driving down the road and being able to see my cabin.

The following picture is looking from towards where the gate would be added.  I'd like to add on to the post which is closest in the image below.  I'll replicate the existing format with two new vertical posts in the ground with a 16' long top post.  

I measured the existing posts and the vertical posts appear to be 2 7/8" pipe.  

I could not measure the horizontal or top pipe so I measured the circumference.  A little math helped me to find this is 2.5" pipe.  

I need to work on the plan with the neighbor and get more details on his thoughts.  I think it is easiest if I do my side of the easement and the does each.  We can each have a 14' gate which provides a total of 28' opening.  If don'e properly, the center of the two gates is the property line and we each maintain our side.  

Fiddleback Forge Monarch

The Monarch "fills the bill" as a multi-purpose outdoor knife. With a 3.625" cutting edge, it is capable of handling most small to medium-sized bushcraft and hunting tasks with ease. The swedge grind allows the knife to excel at tasks that require piercing and gives it the ability to get into smaller areas for finer work. It is a great every-day carry, general purpose knife.

Adventure Sworn Wayfarer

The Wayfarer is designed to be a light weight general use bushcraft knife.  It is compact in size, yet the spear-pointed blade has a very substantial 3-3/4" cutting edge, and a comfortable ergonomic handle. The knife has a scandi grind which excels at woodwork.

I picked this particular knife up used and performed a little work to clean it up.  The sheath needed some new edge coat and a good treatment leather protectant.  The spine was damaged from excessive use with a firesteel but I was able to clean it up with careful use of sand paper.  The knife is now back in very good condition.

I've only used the knife a little since I purchased it.  I really like the quality workmanship of both the knife and the sheath.  I'd prefer more of a belly to the blade and less of a pointed tip.  The knife is really designed for wood work which is the reason for these features.
