[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 872670, member: 8973"] I use this technique every day. The PVC gate has been trouble free for me and my herd. IMO 10 ft is too tall, my pvc pipe is roughly 8 feet long" but then again my animals are mostly frame 4 and under. I also have a small board with a V cut in one end. When the fence is hot I use the board with the V as an extension and lift the wire in place with it. I like the ability to shift the location of the "gate" as it helps to reduce the number of paths that develop with continued use in a single location. I did have a person that I assist with rotational grazing state that his animals would not go under the wire. I had him to put the wire on the ground and cover it with hay. Within just a few days he said the animals caught on that he was giving them access to new grazing and he was able to revert to using the over head method and to my awareness the problem was resolved. Here is an older pic of my gate [img]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i237/agmantoo/stockpiling%202011/IMG00252-20100520-1747.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
