[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1559125, member: 5381"] Thanks for posting that Ken. That is very similar to mine but a little smoother and has the very inventive locking device though I am not sure why you would need one. As I tried to explain, the key to a strong sliding gate is the frame around it. Mine is built to where it pushes to the inside of the pens and has a simple 1/2 L shaped rod to pull it closed if you are on the outside of the pens. The rod is on a pivot so it slides up as the gate is opened and animals can go under it. When working animals with two people, the person pushing the animals into the tub can also go through a small walk gate and push the slider shut to trap two animals behind the chute. In other words, its easily worked from either side. [/QUOTE]
