    Just saw these on Donedeal. I was looking for something like this for a while. Has anyone used anything similar or heard of any problems with them?

    the only problem is they aren't really a gate at all?:(:p I cant see them keeping much in or out tbh. If it was a proper gate the idea would be excellent though.

    It's an electric fence gate, not a 'physical barrier' gate.

    I like the idea but personally think I would use in conjuction with a 2nd barrier like a gate. perhaps when the cattle are trained to it no such nessity.

    be handy not having jump out and race to open/close the gate ahead of cattle when you go in/out of a field with a silage bale for example

    Thats what i was thinking of. I would have a bit of difficulty getting in and out of a tractor for a few days every so often so checking dry stock can be difficult with opening gates on the farm roads. I was just wondering how effective they are in carrying current and if they could stand up to a bit of hardship

    There is a guy in NI makes drive through gates for quads. They are a proper gate and become a ramp as you go through them. Very clever piece of engineering.

    the gates are these imported http://www.ecklundgates.com/
    for calves they recommend strips of tin foil.
