Had a roll of bungy wire from Kiwi kit. OK on the end of a gate instead of a spring but as a 20ft gate it sags after a year and is then a pain.

Its a scaffolding pole on a hinge. Not very complicated.

I make our spring gates by using HT plain wire with about a metre of bungy cord and a handle on the end - much cheaper and dont sag

Did they supply you with the termination with a V cut out to adjust the tension?

That’s the bit that i was unsure of,how strong it is when there’s a herd o hungry cows pushing on it??

You need about 10' for a 20' gate,stays good here for a few years until it perishes. Make sure you get the solid rubber center type,not the multi strand which is carp.

Yes, but I was concerned about stretching it too much and breaking the wires??

We have one to guide cattle out of a shed without getting into the feeding area, and then it turns through 90 degrees to close off a feed passage. The two distances are different. The unforeseen problem which seems pretty obvious now is that when it is raised like a flagpole it is very high and so we have to remember to telescope it in before raising it.
One day there will be a hole in roof! I would say they are ok where there is no other option which would work. Does a great job for us. It seemed expensive until we saw it, Well made and even has a grease nipple to lubricate the turning mechanism.

The gate kits suggest a 5m length is good to 7m
