What happens here

The gate is carefully lifted and placed onto the gate hangers, ensuring it is properly 'pinched' by the upward and downward facing hangers. A DeWalt drill with a 9/16th socket is used to tighten the adjustable hanger's bolt until it's just loose enough for the gate to swing freely, then further adjusted to ensure it's tight against the gate frame. The presenter emphasizes checking the gate's level along the slope of the land. Finally, a method for latching the gate chain is shown: the chain is run through the post's hole and then looped back through itself before being hooked, making it difficult for animals to unlatch.

Goal: This final step involves hanging the gate onto the adjusted hangers, tightening its fasteners, and demonstrating a secure method for latching the gate chain to prevent animal escape.

so what we're going to do is we're going to take the bottom one and we're going to bring it in as far as we can bring it in and then we're going to take the top one out and we're going to make it just fit just right in here and that's all we can really do okay we're gonna have a little bit of a gap here below in the low spot and that's basically all we could do in hindsight i don't think there is hindsight here in hindsight we probably would have been better off putting our gate up that way just a little ways but can't do hindsight it's already built fence is built baby we'll show you what we do kind of in a pickle right here uh there's a flat spot over there we could have showed you but we'd rather show you when we get in the pickle it's okay that's real life man that's what living on a farm is all about that's what the youtube channel here is all about so what we'll do is we'll tighten that nut down and then we'll have our gate and we'll show you how we run the chain on our gate real quick and then we'll let you go hopefully you guys are learning a little bit here we're going to show you a way of latching your chain that'll keep your animals from escaping on their own they'll figure that out horses are smart cows are well kind of smart what we're going to do is we're going to go around our post we're going to drop our chain into the groove like so and then we're going to take our chain and go back to the hole so whenever you lift up on the chain it's pulling it tighter if you had it the other way and this is on the outside of the fence if it was on the inside it would really be dangerous but if we have it if we don't tuck it down through here and set it up where it pulls that in tight what you run into is a cow or a horse or whatever might figure out and rattle that out and cause it to fall it's on there pretty tight but cause it to drop out so in other words the best way to keep your cows in latch it in just like so drop it down through there that way when it pulls it pulls it back tight cool guys i hope you learned a little bit today
