How to Use
Usage Instructions
Select the Location:
Choose a flat area for proper alignment.
Position the gate where sheep movement is frequent, such as entry points to pastures, pens, or handling facilities.
Install Gate Posts:
Use strong posts (e.g., wood or metal) set firmly in the ground to support the gate's weight.
Ensure the posts are spaced according to the gate's width.
Attach the Gate:
Use durable hinges to secure the gate to the post.
Check that the gate swings smoothly and aligns properly with the latch mechanism.
Components
Smaller gates may be shipped fully assembled, while larger gates may be shipped in parts.
Detachable parts (e.g., hinges, latches) are packed separately in protective bags or boxes.
Cautions for Use
When using sheep gates, consider the following precautions to ensure safety and effectiveness:
Secure Installation: Properly anchor gates to avoid tipping or loosening, especially in areas with strong winds or active livestock.
Appropriate Sizing: Use gates with adequate height and spacing to prevent sheep from jumping over or squeezing through.
Regular Maintenance: Inspect for rust, sharp edges, or loose components that could harm animals or handlers.
Positioning: Install gates where visibility and access are optimal, avoiding slopes or areas prone to waterlogging.
