My new gate gets a makeover.

geez is it titanium or was that tree hollow? My gates start out in worse shape than that!

 

[Beefy]

got firewood?

 

[IluvABbeef]

We have the same gate like that out in the pasture, and it's pretty light, enough for me to make me think it's made of aluminum (just a guess).

At least it ain't that close to the trees like the pics show! ;-)

lol had about 20 of those trees go over lol long week splitting fire wood

What happened? High wind? Heavy rain?

 

[ga. prime]

Hippierancher, no, not titanium, rather the lightest steel possible. If you'll notice, a big fat tree limb, or three, kept that tree from going to the ground.

Beefy, firewood? Yeah I'm guessing $200 worth there. Maybe I'll get a pic posted after I get it split up. It'll be a couple months down the road when temps drop 20-30 degrees before I tackle that job.

IluvABbeef, The gate was very light steel, the cheapest you can get. I was thinking this was a low stress area. Actually I'm really, really glad I hadn't put a heavy steel Bull Gate there.

glover, I've got 3 more(that are economically accessible) within 200 yds of that tree that I'll be splitting for firewood this fall/winter. Several hundred dollars worth.

john250, high wind fronting a fierce thunderstorm.

I was wondering that too. Also, what kind of tree was it that fell, an oak?

 

[ga. prime]

Grapple on skidloader. Laurel Oak-3ft. diameter at breast height.

Thanks for answering a question I've been wondering about lately. That is - If a tree falls in the woods, whose fence did it take down today?
Evidently the answer that day was Ga. Prime.

The one that fell Friday luckily didn't take out a stretch of fence, just fell across the road into a field, so I'm counting my blessings.

Cuz

 

[danielo]
