Another great vid Mr. Thompson. Whites has a very professional looking shop... well organized. Sometimes we take for granted the stuff we use to keep our stock safe, it is good to remind us of how much work and care goes into the manufacturing. 🐐
hi Tim why didn't you install the gate on the side of the posts rather than between the posts? By installing on the side, the gate can be opened fully (on one side only), any pressure from the stock pushes the gate against the posts, and there's never a gap at the catch end. When the gate opens fully, stock can never get behind the gate during mustering. cheers
If a goat can get its head through a gap, the rest of it, will follow - you're better off with 2 hinges on the gates, infinitely more adjustable. Also, for goats, you're better off with a smaller mesh, standard mesh can be a 'leg breaker', kids can get their heads stuck in that size mesh and even older goats, can get their horns entangled.
Would it not been better to either adjust the existing leaning post or place another vertical post along side and fix it with spacer to the leaning post taking that the post was sound.
Aussie gates look really light, not enough horizontals, doubt if they would stand up to a Charolais bull rubbing his arse on them! Guess goats are less of a problem. Usually UK gates are 4" narrower than the gap width. Good video!👍
We do indeed have gates with more horizontals. Check out my "all steel fence" vid from earlier this month. This design was chosen specifically for the goats, where the wire diameter was the critical feature. Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers.
@@bespokefencing true but, as Tim writes, there are others. Same here, look at a typical lightweight field gate compared to a heavy yard gate for use with cattle.
What is the ideal size of post to hang a gate off? Also, if a new gate needed to be hung off a boundary fence line & it was to be hung on the same side of the wire, would you suggest this is ok?
G'day mate. Not all. Like most big boys, they compete in different price categories. But they are Australian owned, employ Australians and manufacture a surprising range of fencing material in regional Australia. I've got another video from the factory that I'll put together in a while that shows how much they make. It was pretty cool.
I have to ask. Are the hinges on the wrong side of that gate? I was always told that diagonal bracing should run from the bottom hinge up. It's opposite to the way you install a stay.
Lol! That baling twine on the gate! For a second I was like, hey they’re at my place 😆

Aussie manufacturing. Love it.
I like that gate design.
A good looking gate
Well done TT
hi Tim

I’ll cover this in an upcoming video
Bloody love it. Always nice to see inside a factory
great tips, was good to see how the gates are made and see that the factory is in Albury

Put a buck on either side of the gate and the weld mesh will be gone in no time.

That is indeed what I suggested.
bloody legend!
Interesting to see the style of gates and fittings in Oz compared to the ones here in the UK.

Watch this space mate!
Hi Tim.
Are all whites fencing supplies made in Australia.
Cheers.
Keep up the great work.

@@FarmLearningTim sweet as mate will be a another great video I am sure

Good question. It’s a solid metal stay, so stronger under compression. Wire is only strong under tension, so opposite way for wire stays
What about the rest of them Timothy?
Hmmmmm
