Btw: You can fix the problem.

If you thread a chain through the pipe before encasing it in concrete and weld it securely to the ends, thieves with pipe cutters will be the stupid ones.

A good reminder:

The weakest chain link is the rack itself. It consists mostly of air.

A very good paving.

Communication via road surfaces is unfortunately always too subtle.

I think this is great.

Btw: What is your job?

A lot of „“.

My first advice is: Look at the costumers home. If they have a own 🅿️, the 🏪 need it too.

The backyard isn’t a problem. But they’re often narrow. That’s a problem.
