Suggestion to prevent machinery pulling in to my curbside

Leave the countryside, move into an estate. If a fella pulling in for a minute to let someone behind pass is that big an issue, it's not for u

Light plastic bollards, cones even.? You cant do anything hard. Maybe something visual but not intrusive perpendicular soft planted areas. Driving from the road they look larger and more risky to put a wheel into.

Caution, dont do anything which makes it dangerous, my neigbours insurance paid out thousands for damaged tractor cab from a guy who pulled into far… I dunno easy win by the driver i think, buts them the breaks

White plastic electric fencer posts and a bit of fencer wire.

Then you probably need a very obvious camera pointed at that spot to get the reg of the tractor that mows the whole lot down.

I use a few fencer posts as it makes it easier for people to turn in my drive without going all over the grass but the odd one still mows them down and delivery lorries always take them out.

btw it might show that area on land registry as being yours but it really isn't if it fronts a road. Tarmacking it might be best for everyone.

Edit> Just thought of another which is cheap, easy and non destructive of motor vehicles. Half inch plastic water pipe cut into lengths and pushed into the edge of the curb to make overlapping hoops.

Those are bamboo hoops but cream coloured pex plastic pipe would give a similar affect.

Can you clarify if it's your property? If outside your boundary it's not yours

you could try putting down timber beams, large stones, or plastic/metal grid mats over the gravel. They help spread the weight and usually stop machinery from digging in or dragging the gravel around.

• Landscape it in such a way that it's too sloped for vehicles to risk pulling in. An angle of ~70+ degrees should be a sufficient deterrent.

Cover the area with about 150mm deep of good, thick porridge. Place a sign in the middle that says "DANGER! QUICKSAND".

Lay concrete, polish it and paint it black or green. Then populate it with motorised ducks thereby giving the impression that it's a pond. This ruse could be complemented with a scattering of leaves, water lilies and "Deep Water" signage.

You could arrange some large, fake, plastic cows to "graze" the area.

Place bales of hay or stacks of tyres along the boundary wall and pretend that you live in the Isle of Man.

Set up a hotdog stand and turn your annoyance into cash.

Join a local Heavy Machine Operator Watchers club and invite fellow members to join you in a hide built discreetly within the curtilage of your property.

Good luck!
