Cable. Hmmm. Accident waiting to happen. A very wise RIP member of ALDeer wouldn't let me use cable on land I leased from him. Don't do it. Put a gate up. Some atv trespasser is going to get decapitated.  Yep, most timber companies have it written in there lease that these are prohibited

A 16’ cattle gate is just over $100
I could swear I paid $84 for mine. Cheap and easy.

A cordless grinder with a cutoff wheel will walk through that cable like a hot knife through butter. If you can't do a proper gate, you're better off just doing nothing. Save yourself the money and headache. Thats going to walk through 95 percent or higher of all gates. At least with that setup you would know if someone went in and out. Cattle gates I can go in and out with a couple of adjustable wrenches and not leave any evidence of entry at the gate.

That'll work for the undetermined trespasser...a good gate won't be cheap Nothing will stop the determined trespasser. But a well disguised spike strip will discourage repeat offenders.

What size? Where is a good place to get steel cable? I was looking at HF and the largest I saw was 1/4. Just trying to keep it fairly cheap. I bet ive thrown away ten thousand + feet of used half inch crane cable. I may have 200 ft of 1/2" or 5/8" laying around in Bham.

You’re right, but as often as not it’ll trigger costly retaliation. The kind that keeps on giving while the lowlife goes elsewhere.

A pipe gate with a heavy lock guard is immune to the grinder and bolt cutters But it's also expensive and labor intensive.

Back when we ran dogs we carried a key with us. This key would cut any cable we encountered. How do you expect the big trucks that occasionally use the road to use the road? I bet they also carry a “key”. Back in the day my great uncle and my grandfather would have rendered your truck inoperable after cutting one of their gates. What happened, the men folk in your family born without balls after your great uncle? Drive through my gate and find out....

Some atv trespasser is going to get decapitated. Yep, most timber companies have it written in there lease that these are prohibited Both correct. I was a member of a club that one night a drunk on a 4 wheeler who was where he wasnt supposed to be on posted land hit a cable gate they had. Flipped and broke his neck. Family sued. Dont know the outcome of it.

A cable through a piece of 4" pvc sewer pipe is every bit as visible as a pipe gate. Use 6" pvc if you are really paranoid. Just running a half inch cable across a road can indeed be dangerous, but the pvc takes care of that. I've never seen any reason to paint the pvc; the white color shows up about as well as anything.
The determined trespasser can get through most anything, but a cable is better than nothing.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
