Here is an idea I thought of often when I see about 75%+ of the poles bent or kncked down. btw.. How did Sweetbays pole get crunched at the top? hmm.
Anyway. not to steal the thread but perhaps a suggestion to the CDD about changing the poles to having a spring mounted in the ground and attached to the pole. That way the cart would hit the pole, not damage the pole, and PROBABLY not damage the cart as bad either. Less money to fix them too.
Possibly that could be incorporated with the gate poles somehow too. But make it so it leaves a mark on the car that can be taken off eventually, but so people than can't just bump the gate and keep going. Saves on gate expenses too?
