[QUOTE="rla442, post: 1580998, member: 13688"] Seeing the posting on the gate hinges, I figured I'd start another topic on strengthening gates. It happens every few years when loading up cattle that I have one or two that destroy a gate in the loading alley or the pen leading into the alley as they try to get back out into the pasture. One of them will just mangle a gate until something breaks or the most recent, the hinge snapped. My gates are the weak point. 10' gates, most are the Tractor Supply heavy duty brand. To get any other supplier for the gates, I'll have to head a couple counties away. Most of the time I'm working the cattle myself without issues and use the gates to sort them into different pens or the alleyway to load them out. I'm just looking for ideas at this point on strengthening the gates in the areas where the cattle are handled. Narrower gates, make gates solid so they cant see through them, ideas on how to reinforce the tubing and hinges, a brand name gate that's truly heavy duty? [/QUOTE]
