for space boundaries / lane markers: bury old tires, standing upright, so only about 6" height is exposed. No damage if driven over. Will not rot or weather. You can paint the exposed tread a bright color o leave black / unpainted (which contrast well on caliche lots.
For numbering spaces, cut the number out (like a stencil) in the upper half of a black truck mud flap. Place it over a white (or other color) mud flap and bury the paired lower halves. They're stiff enough to stand up so the number can be easily seen, yet flexible if run over. Like an old tire tire, they practically last forever in weather /sun exposure.
In addition to a self storage facility, I own an engine re-manufacturing plant, where we use mud-flaps for flexible liners in very abrasive cleaning machines - they out-perform everything on the market.

Does anyone have a good solution for marking spaces on caliche/gravel/dirt? We have tried survey whiskers (labor intensive) , flexible poles, traffic cones, painted wood with numbers attached... It is difficult to pin something in the ground for customers to see and be flat enough to drive over... Our spaces are all drive-thru as well.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
