Washington, Kansas & Lincoln, Nebraska | the answers to these questions. If not I'd surely want to! - Is your existing concrete designed to repeatedly bear the weight of a loaded semi? If not, you'll tear it up over time.
- Might your neighbor agree to move his/her mailbox a few feet to allow greater turning radius?
- This one's already been asked, but who is going to be making the turn through the gate with a semi?
That said, my semi is a condo sleeper with a 50 foot, tri-axle grain trailer. Spreads will take greater turning room. Ideally, I'd want a gate no less than 20 feet wide, 50 feet from your edge of the roadway and an approach off a narrow road that begins at no less than 60 feet wide. I can likely do it at less and perhaps you could as well. But, again, who is going to be doing the negotiating of the semi into your driveway?
