Very tricky though... For starters you probably need multiple sentries which is very expensive. Even if you FF the ramp, scan or a terran unit about a 1/3 up the ramp will give high ground vision. If you go for sentry defense, you will probably have to produce zealots because of how gas expensive sentries are but in these types of choke situations zealot/ff is worthless except to prevent kiting in an all out engagement on the ramp itself. If terran gets high ground vision they can hug the ramp and actually still have most of their units engage your units unless your ff-retreat-arc micro is very good. That or terran can continually goad you into wasting your ff's, wait you out, and then run up the ramp. Continually warping in sentries depends on a lot of excess gas.For the effort and resources people put into ff defenses they really could be building cannons... Costing 0 gas and 0 supply means you can race to gas heavy tech...like colossi/hts/dts/voids which can be GREAT defenders in 7-10 minute mark and allow for a nice transition into your expansion.
