Overview

A guard shack has one job: keep your entry point covered, in comfort.

ForgeX builds guard shacks around the post itself — which direction the guard faces, what traffic they control, what equipment they need, and how the unit gets power. The result is a booth guards can work in through a Texas summer or a north-state winter.
