That’s some job Alister thanks for sharing. Bit similar but more elaborate than an Irish gate

Pretty high tech Taranaki gate Alistair. As somebody already mentioned just battens for uprights with No 8 wire loops for latches. Open and close with brute strength 😂. Thanks for the video and may the lamb prices increase 👍

Brilliant vid! Slowly introducing nz and oz tecniques to my farm and have already cut my losses by 50% here in Sweden!

Good work. What have you implemented

Your Taranaki gate is absolutely the best looking and manufactured I have seen, I hope you are patient it for the kiwi's farming technology, oh plus for the American KZread people you require to download inches and feet, 😅😅.

Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation documentary countryside content video and you are doing such an amazing job .. great video upload and million thanks again ..

It looked like it took you 10 years from start to finish to make that fancy South Island Taranaki gate keep up the good work 👍🏼 No farmers No food look forward to the next video.

Thank you so much 😀

I appreciate the effort,cheers mate.

Well I thought it was just number 8 and battons with a wire loop at each end to hold it on. This is alot better 😊

Same with me, my Dad had some just wire netting and loop at bottom and one pull back battern at top arrangement back in the 70s but this version is flash as Michael Jackson.

thanks for this great video

Really good video.

Wow fancy gates, ours were just primitive by comparison. Number 8 wire loops top and bottom, done. Mind you that was "way back when". Cheers mate. I was in Waikite Valley just north of Taupo working my guts of for very little on a Dairy farm. Your Farm brings back lots of memories.

I'd not seen them before coming here, but I think they have been around for about 50 years! So not a new concept 😊

Hi i like your video

Hi I like your video

Great job though mate.

Great video. Buying an economy gate is not that expensive and much quicker to fit. Surely you would take into account the cost of your own labour? Keep up the good work.

Yep these are generally for areas where a square gate is hard to fit or the opening is long. IE blocking off laneways

Fancy, in my day we just used some fencing battens and some wire loops.

Hi Alistair great informative video on making the Taranaki gate . But you need to look after your hearing I'm now paying the price for not doing it . Forgot to ask in last video with all that forestry going in are you going to rip it of get someone in to plant out by hand

Cant beat it.

I absolutely hate stick welding and I'm a boilermaker. Gasless mig is so much better and easier. I've had gal fever more times than I care to remember. Its the fever you get that lasts for the night and makes your life miserable but in the morning your right again. It sucks big time.

@@stephendickson9000 I do agree with you mate there is times when you should only use stick but for galv farm gates I'd just use gasless 0.9mm wire. I've always got a spool in my small uni mig works a treat.
