CATTLE FENCING IDEAS FOR YOUR FARM/RANCH
What happens here
When installing gates, particularly on an incline, ensure they are positioned to swing downhill to prevent dragging on the ground. Use robust gate hardware, including gate hangers and hinges. To prevent the gate from sagging or shifting, insert a self-tapping screw into the gate hanger mechanism to keep it from sliding down the post. It is recommended to have two people for gate hanging to provide an extra set of hands for alignment and support.
Goal: Properly install and secure gates for smooth operation
