Name: Jeff    City: iowa

Question: I want to be able, at a glance, see that my gates on my chainlink fence are closed. They are simple swing gates 39" with a fork closure (best way i can describe it). Is there something that would work in all weather that i can wire into the gate so it will see that gates are closed and have it display at the door? How would I build such a thing... safely?
