[QUOTE="JSteim, post: 1295671, member: 23791"] Kingfisher - The 12' gates are on 50x30 pens. The 16' gate is on an 85x100 pen. Thought is those should be low pressure areas. For the sorting alley and sweep I have 10' Priefert bow gates which are pretty heavy. Dun - The block under the end of the gate would work. Also maybe one of those wheels that bolts onto the end. It looks to me like a lot of the sag is the top hinge turning some when the gate gets to 90 degree perpendicular to the post allowing the gate to droop. Does not seem any way to tighten the hinge bolt enough to stop this. My thought was perhaps a third hinge pointed up might support the gate enough that the top hinge would not have any twist. Cheap and fast enough to try in any event. [/QUOTE]
