Do you live in a big metro area with a homeless population? Could it possibly be an angry neighbor? And have you thought about putting up security cameras to see if you can catch the perpetrator? That might get the attention of the police if you can establish a pattern so they know when to stake out your home to watch for the criminal.

Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
You go toe to toe with homeless people, you better enjoy your shit siege. You need to low key convince them to move on elsewhere. |

No. Sometimes I guess they care a little because they put a box down and use that |

Didn't you accidentally use screws that were half an inch too long when assembling that fence and gate? Measurement mistakes happen.

Let some fire ants and harvester ants set up colonies there.
They're easier to get rid once they've gotten rid of the homeless. |

Get one of those motion detecting sprinklers.
I saw a video where people kept pissing on the backdoor of a guys business. It was in an alley. He plumbed a pipe that was pointing down in the area that was used for pissing. He also put a hidden camera so he could monitor. There are several videos of guys coming up to pee and get blasted with water. I think he even had a sign that said there is a drain that could activate at anytime so stay clear. |

Put a light out there and get the neighbors to call in an indecent on the fool.
Like vampires the freaks that come out at night fear the light. Motion sensor and camera for extra credit. You'll want the thing +12' if possible - think pissed off drunk with a baseball ball. |

Floodlight with a motion detector.
For extra points, put a recorded message like "You are illegally exposing yourself. This recording will be shown to the police. You will be arrested for illegal exposure and prosecuted for sex crimes." Make it real loud so the neighbors can hear. Or put a driveway alarm in place, so you don't wake the neighbors if, say, a dog walks by; you can then choose to trigger the light and recording. |

Maybe get a guard dog to alert you to their presence. Not any kind of attack dog because that might cause you problems, just one that will bark a lot so you know when they are out there. Maybe a barking dog would even be enough to keep them away.

For the record Texas law on devices. I dunno why this pasted backwards.
Sec. 9.44. USE OF DEVICE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. The justification afforded by Sections 9.41 and 9.43 applies to the use of a device to protect land or tangible, movable property if: (1) the device is not designed to cause, or known by the actor to create a substantial risk of causing, death or serious bodily injury; and (2) use of the device is reasonable under all the circumstances as the actor reasonably believes them to be when he installs the device. |

Save your money on fortifications and as mentioned above simply make that alley an undesirable place to be for the perps. That's the most specific advice you're going to get on a public forum.

Rig some outdoor speakers where the locals can't reach them and feed them some grand opera. They will likely find someplace less cultured to shit. Respighi worked pretty well for a friend of mine with a similar problem.

I ran into similar (dog shitting) when I lived in the city. If you do the sprinkler thing, that invites further shenanigans. We opted for directed ultra sonic dog deterrents. Worked pretty well. It'd have to be a different frequency for people, but should work fine. Or just go the classical music route

Barb or razor wire affixed to the outside of the gate? Even chicken wire or hardware cloth might be rough enough to prevent someone from leaning delicate skin surfaces against it.

Could the electricity start a fire on the wood slats between the metal bars Even if it won't still worries me that the guy might have a condition that kills him if he was shocked somehow. I'm steering away from that idea |

Motion sensor hooked up to a yard sprinkler. Works wonders.
Put up a sign that says automated watering to help control dust in the air. Looks like I was beat by 20 minutes. Seriously it works well. Don’t get an agressive sprinkler. One of the ones like this is great.

Trebuchet + porta-potty = problem solved
Editing to say, you don't even have to attach the porta-potty to the trebuchet. First see if the apartment or treatment center will place the porta-potty somewhere nearby but away from your gate. |
