    That's just weird. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it and it
    DOES blend into the environment very well, it's just a very odd thing to
    do. It certainly makes the gate more labour-intensive than slapping
    lumber together.

    While it's cool, he's created a hazard by not having reflectors, but
    that ruins the illusion. You want a gate to be as visible as possible.
    Where the property line is won't be obvious.

    Hmm, I like it.

    Excellent point! I was only thinking about daylight use and hadn't even thought about nighttime use. Of course he *could* put up reflectors on adjacent trees or posts but they would look just an unnatural there....

    Hmm. I wonder if this guy is a survivalist trying to hide his home?

    I don't see why this would be any more dangerous at night than an average normal gate would be. One would think headlights would illuminate it as a barrier in the road just as they would if the guy used a more standard style gate.

    u want the driver to see the gate from a reasonable distance away. You
    don't want him accidentally crasing into it. If he's injured, you don't
    want to defend a lawsuit.
