[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1482002, member: 16453"] My yards at both my blocks I have used what was there when I bought the place and have gradually tried to improve them and replace what was falling down, probably not the best way to go, I should have just bulldozed them and started afresh but I have been using them from day one and have improved them and most of the old timber bits are gone. During last year I picked up some new gates made for some saleyards from an auction, they are made from galvanised cattle rail each made with 4 lengths of cattle rail 41/2" x11/2". I got 6 gates a bit over 14' for $65 ea. and 4 pair of 10' gates for $135/pair and a few 8'ers for $125/pair. I made a stable for the wife's horse a few months ago and thought I better get my finger out and utilise the rest of them rather than tripping over them as the grass grew up through them so here is what I have been up to. Unfortunately the land has a bit of fall to it so I have had to step them. [url=https://postimg.org/image/573sz53el/][img]https://s14.postimg.org/573sz53el/DSCF5683.jpg[/img][/url] I've welded pins on the posts to slip the hinge end over then a plate welded to the other end and fixed to the post with self tapping metal screws most of the force from cattle is outwards so screws will not get the weight on them. [url=https://postimg.org/image/qlzrxrbct/][img]https://s14.postimg.org/qlzrxrbct/DSCF5680.jpg[/img][/url] These back yards I'll be using cattle rail along the top and then 5 strands of steel cable, those posts have chain links welded to them to thread the cable through. [url=https://postimg.org/image/ohfewu9rx/][img]https://s14.postimg.org/ohfewu9rx/DSCF5685.jpg[/img][/url] Here is a video of a bit of a walk around the yards and I included my sliding gate. I picked it up at another auction a couple years ago and have found it to be a very good gate, the latch and handle just work so smoothly, no track to bump your head on, I wish I had bought a couple more.
