- A Simple And Easy Way to Make A Farm Gate Using A Panel.
I illustrate how to make a gate out of a cattle panel. The simple process should be just about an hour (including digging a hole, setting the post, determining the gate length, and installing the gate itself). This is perfect for those DYI'ers on a farm, homestead, ranch or even in the suburbs. Using cattle panels for a gate is fairly inexpensive, easy, and durable. Importantly, it can be customized for the countless situations a gate may be needed.

A super easy lazy way I did it ,was to use D clips or caribiner clips to attach panel gates right to my existing fence.😆
I did that for a few years. Just now creating pens with post corners and framed out gates.
It takes a while getting started. You do what you can. My sheep don't care what my gate looks like.😆
This is true! As long as it works is what counts.
Great idea! I think I’m going to use this. God bless
Wonderful! Thank you so much for joining me.
Thanks! I had to build a quick pen for my dog that just had puppies and had some panels left over from my garden trellis, but didn't want to waste a bunch of wood building a gate.
Glad it helped!
Thank you
You're welcome
Exactly what I was looking for. To build a fence with the same cattle panels, how far apart do the t-posts need to be? I'm using a total of 2 panels, gate included. Also, how to attach this gate to t-post rather than wood? Thanks so much for the easy instructions!
Glad to be of assistance! How to attach: I had some heavy 9 gauge wire that I made a loose fitting loop with. You could remove the barbs from barbed-wire fence and use that too. You could even use rope, but that would be just a temporary hinge.
Now to keep the gate closed I put a 1” pvc pipe into the ground where you want it to be closed and attached a straight metal rod to the gate. This will secure the bottom off the gate. And finally I use another piece of wire on top of the gate to fasten it to the fence.
As for the spacing, I am not exactly sure what you mean so forgive me if my answer is off a little. While putting up the panels as a fence, I will use 3 T-posts for every panel section, but overlapping each panel by 8-10”. This way two panels will share a Tpost. So if you are only using 2 panels together, that’ll be 5 Tposts. But it will depend on what you’re using it for. I also have 350-400# hogs and place an electric wire on the inside to keep them off it.
I hope this helps, I will try to send a pic of the gate for clarity when I feed the animals this morning.
I am unable to send pics or video through this chat. I did take a couple videos of various examples I did here for better clarification though. If you want them, text me at 423-888-7724 and I will send them to you. I am going to delete this thread tomorrow because of my cell number!
I hope you are still monitoring your RUclips. I noticed you have a garden post that is at an angle with your upright post. You have them wired together at the top. How did you secure the bottom of the angled post?
I drive the T-post into the ground about 6-10” at approximately the same angle. It took several attempts to get figure out the right distance/angle, but it works out well!
But if you didn’t do that, you could use some pressure treated wood as a stake at the end.
Yes, I just used wire to secure the top and at the sides to the fence. They do make a contraption specifically for Tposts to joint the tops. I think they are about $20 at TSC.
Hope this answers your question.
You are to far from your speaker. It's so hard to hear you.
I’m sorry about that. Thank you for watching though. I don’t know which video you watched but in the beginning I didn’t have a microphone but now that I do, I try to wear it whenever I make a video. Thanks for letting me know though.
@@SimplyMadeHomestead it was the video in Make A Farm Gate Using A Panel. But no worries I just wanted you to know. Thank You!
