Gate for t-post fence?

[Evergreen160]

Does anyone have a gate in their t-post fence? How did you do it? Thanks!

We do. Let me see if any of the pictures I have already taken have a good view of it. My DH just used wooden posts he had on hand and made a frame, put wire over the frame and hinged it to another post. If I don't have any pictures already of it I will try to get pictures of it to share.

Gates and hardware for chainlink fences can be modified to work.

I thought I would answer my own thread in case anyone is looking for a similar solution. We bought Wedge-loc hinges that mount onto a t-post then hung a light-weight (22 lbs) 4ft metal tube gate from it. Works great though not goat tested yet ;-)

We have those step-in posts for electric fencing and I used that as my gate. I attached it to the fencing using zip ties. It's very easy to lift up and it goes right back into place. My ewes don't bother it, but my ram always tries to go through it.

Why not sell him, if you can, and buy a new one. Then you could find a really nice (as in quality) one and breed him to your girls? I know you said yours are percentage somethings and maybe you could make some nice big ones to sell for meat. lol
