[QUOTE="jhambley, post: 563966, member: 1535"] I wasn't able to find bungee cord when I went to build a couple of wide gates so I used polyrope. It doesn't seem to have any problem carrying the load across the opening. These gates are rarely opened and share a fence line with the neighbors nasty Longhorns so I wanted to make sure they were not the weak link in a five wire HT electric fence. The handles were cheap ($1.99) a piece at Powerflex Fence. I wired the gate like a switch (like Dun mentioned). The top wire is the switch. As soon as I disconnect it ,the rest of the gate goes dead along with the next section of fence. The second wire is the continuation of a continuous ground system. Here's a photo. Knersie has already made fun of my work so others are welcome to take their best shot. :) [img]http://www.alpinecreek.com/herefords/gate.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
