No flavoured ones??
 
Not cheaper just to put a heavy duty chain across the gap?

Unfortunately that is not possible, as one side of the drive hasn't got a wall or fixing post.

That's my brick upright on the left. The stubby bit of brick work on the right is next doors.

What you can't see in the photo is the driveways are not level with each other.
 
So, is it possible that a really dedicated interloper could enter your neighbours drive and perform manoeuvres to wiggle across into your drive despite the Bollard?

No there is a gap going from 31/2" to 12" between the driveways.

The driveway is on a slope. I am the higher side then next door. And if they park there, well that's not my problem! :)

They look fairly level from my perspective, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving. Especially after 4 glasses ( may have been litres ) of Sangre de Torro.
Either way, if you mount a small pole on the neighbour´s side, you could put up a decent chain.
Alternatively, you could mount a dark motor and a rope, and using a decent receiver play " Brown girl in the ring " all day from the living room, using external speakers of course!

I know parking there is despicable, but I see no reason to subject them to inhumane torture...
 
This end is about 12" drop from my drive to next door

And up the top it's about 31/2" step

And as it slopes down the drive the the step increase.

You need to stop posting pictures of your end on open forum, it could lead to sanctions;)
 
Well the bollard has landed :-)

Poor chaps, went to drive off, and someone or something had slashed the van tyre. So they had to stop and sort that out.

But so far they turned up at 13:25 was working for 20mins and job done:-)

Now just have to wait for the invoice in the post
 
See if they charge you for the time they took to change the wheel.

Mind you, they probably invoice for an hour at minimum anyway.

It is 1hr minimum anyway. But the cctv captured them turning. Fitting the bollard & changing the wheel.
So if there is an argument I have video evidence.

But I am pleased it's been done, at least I can go away from the house and still have my driveway when I get home.
 
Looking good, Chris :-clap
 
No not yet @Milamber but it is funny watching people's response when they drive up, to turn around.

Now they have to do a 3 point turn, or use the junction, either way that can't use my drive anymore :-)
