[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1236524, member: 18945"] I dunno--leave a 4' wide gate open and see how quick a dozen mommas and calves can run thru it. I have never, in 40 years, had a gate left open at 90°pull a gate post over. Have had one pulled over because jackass hunters kept climbing over a chain locked gate. :( If it is this kind, make sure you drill thru the hole on the gate part--drill it thru the tube on the gate and put a 5/16" bolt and nut on it. If you don't, all it takes, is a cow to bump the gate hard and the part that is on the tube gate will rotate around-the clamp bolts never pull it down tight enough to hold it in position against much pressure.

I found that out the hard way when a hard to catch heifer hit it wide open run and twisted the whole thing on the tube and off she went.
