Yes indeed. Some of it is also out of respect for customer's privacy and my own security. The public doesn't need to know what's being worked on here, looking at my job board, etc. Nosy MFs...

Best investment with some covid money was a powered sliding 40' gate. Lets me drive the forklift straight through with 25' stock, plus we have remotes for the gate so you don't have to get out of the truck to swing 2 15' gates open, plus all the yard space a sliding gate saves.
But to the point, now I can keep the gate shut without any real hassle, helps to keep snoopers out, and the semi's from pulling into the yard that they really don't want to drive into anyways, as it's always possibly full of screws from scrapping.

Get a pic of Tex naked in the snow with a dog collar with leash and make a full size cutout and place it behind your desk. No one will stay or even want to walk past that.

Just the area code fits on where you want the phone number.

I like making signs
I have more issues with my parking lot. I'm on the corner and one street has an opening and it goes past my shop and another opening on the other street. In summer I letter stuff outside and this summer 3 times I had to jerk back behind a truck and twice a trailer because a speeder came blasting through. I could count 15-25 cars every day zooming through so they don't have to stop at the stop sign. It saves them 3.1 seconds.
I finally put a sign up on each entry and the cops called me and asked what the problem is. I told them and they said they would be happy to give tickets. Since the signs, the traffic has cut down but I might put up a chain this year - the problem with that is some idiot will go through at night and rip it down with their car - which would be a good lesson LOL

I installed casters on the bottoms of the shelving used to barricade my customer area, it was pretty tight as it was. Let's see how long it takes until someone leans against one and goes for a ride.
It was cheaper to cannibalize the 4-wheel creepers at Horror Freight than to buy actual casters. Screwed the casters onto 2x4 painted black that rest in the channel on the bottom shelf. Now these can double as mobile work surfaces too, if I need them.

I gave the Carny $10 to let my grandson on the ride. Love those Catholic School Carnivals.

I had no idea what these were called, but I remember using these back when I worked at a movie theater. Stanchions.
You'd be able to keep your space open and at the same time clearly tell people they aren't welcome beyond them. You'd also be able to reposition and reconfigure them at will.

I'm still getting used to not leaning on our big ass tables in the shop since we put casters on them 6 months ago.
