[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 6816828, member: 93"] This is ours. You don’t want it sheeted at all as it will stall the flow and they’ll back up. We find if it’s horizontal bars they sometimes climb it with their front feet so went all vertical bars. To stop them opening it with their heads I put a ratchet on there, to be honest I would always have this just in case one following gets their head through, if it tries to open the gate it will throw you over. I did think about putting a ‘squeeze trigger’ on the handle to make it one handed but this is simple and works fine. It runs on 4 small castor wheels off the internet, on M10 bolts. These run in angle iron. There is a run of weld across the angle, the wheels bounce over this when fully open, which keeps the gate open but means it slams shut easily and single handedly. Cost was about £100 all in I’d guess. [ATTACH type="full"]863317[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]863318[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]863319[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]863320[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
