Frequently asked questions
How many posts per cattle gate?+−
Plan at least two heavy posts per gate (hinge and latch). Wide or high-pressure openings may need bracing beyond this estimate.
What widths are common?+−
Pasture tube gates are often 12–16 ft. Match width to equipment and cattle pressure, then confirm hardware specs.
