Brakie,

I understand what you're saying. We had the same moving security fences. Trucks and cars moved through two separate moving fences. However, the moving security fences were to the outside of the drop down gate. As I stated before we had a large security building with indoor toilets, refrigerator and microwave. On weekends and nights there was only one guard. After 10 pm the rolling gate was closed. If trucks or car traffic pulled up the rolling gate was opened and then closed. If he left the security building the rolling gates were closed to both truck and car traffic. People and trucks waited outside the gate until he returned.

Prior to having the newer building, it was simply a guard shack much like Reinhard has modeled. However, bathroom brakes were still a necessity and the rolling gates were utilized since only one guard was on duty.

Only time our moving gate was closed was on Holidays.We had two officers on duty 24/7 since we had to open other truck gates,paint shed,go inform the truckers they could proceed to the dock,take employees to the emergency room (when needed), make 3 roving rounds(we used a cart) and lock up the main office doors..Our shack had all the creature comforts including a 12 cup coffee pot.

The shack Reinhard is using would have electric baseboard heaters and probably a window air conditional.His shack needs a phone and electric line as well as window shades-the raising or setting of the sun can be hard on the officer(s) on duty if the sun is in their face.A transparent shade is used so,the officer can see out..
