Bought a lovely pair of Jack Jones jeans, was sitting down and could feel something sticking into me... security tag left on! Guntering time!

Tried a heavy speaker magnet. No good. Ended up hack sawing off the plastic cap on the big part and the spring and ball bearing popped out releasing the pin

The magnets in the stores are very strong, I've done some work with retail POS equipment and have often had my screw driver taken out of my hand by the damn things

Very handy way to get concrete to a height.

Would be great if it rotated also or does it ... how would they manage that an elaborate arrangement of hardy splicers edit: Just coped the pneumatic motor mounted on top great bit of guntering there

Electric fence across the top? Try one of the spring gate things.

I would go with straight strand of wire as she probably needs the resistance before she gets the shock.

Hydraulics I'd say like the motor on a road sweeper

Hydraulic motor, I'd say. Just driven off the loader 3rd service.
It'd be handy, you could tip tbe mixer diwn a bit, then give it a half turn to get some mix out.

Any good ways of making a gate higher without welding. Had a heifer decide she didn’t want to stay in the pen this evening. Lucky not to break both legs the bitch!

Black dots are the bars of the gate, red is bars/bits of timber, green = compulsory twine

hope that makes sense

Feckin baling twine!!!! Worst stuff to ever have been introduced to farming.

I've banned the use of the stuff in my yard. My no weld solution for sticking gates together is U-bolts. Or sometimes scoffolding clamps.

Along with bits of wire tiring things and fecking pallets blocking a door or bit of a gap.

Yeah that might do it. I was looking for some sort of clamp to add another bar but can’t find anything suitable online

Ah the only belt buckle that's any good around this time of year is the Hayes strainer

Had to tie a gate half way up on another gate to keep a lim bull in a shed one time. Top gate doesn't have to be heavy, just a deterrent

I'd say 30‰ of our farm is held together with baling twine!

Tie a few pallets from the girder above the gate down as far as the gate. Most sensible solutuon imo

I hate that design of fitting, the T of the bolt can rotate when loosening and you will need to grip the bolt part with a vice grips to undo the nut.

This design is better because bolt can't rotate no matter how loose the nut is.

I bought 40 of those for €1 each at a car boot sale in 2009. They are as handy as a small pot about the place.

You arent using enough of them if they slip

If you want to use 3 bars, then u bolts onto vertical bars of gate for 2 uprights and then 2 of them swivel clamps will hold the top bar parallel. Or just use 6 swivel clamps, 4 on gate and 2 on top bar.

Except for when you bang your head off them running around trying to get cattle in or out through that gate

They might be swinging in the wind as well unless you tied them to the gate. Depending on how far they are hanging down and how exposed the shed is. And if you tie them to the gate it'd me a mess unless you know you don't want to have to open it again for 6 months

Not an option. This is a collection pen in the yard, not a pen in a shed. No girder to hang off
