Bought some of these last year from other supplier they were ok but the pit the pin runs through on the gate was a big light and if'ey.
Bought a lock of them this year from buffalo this year way better perfect quality next day delivery.
What I like about the pin ones is we put rawl bolts in the wall to put the pin through so a pin can be made up with 3 gates if you get me.

Bought gates and hook and loop gates from Buffallo. Very good quality. Need to buy more this year but might but the hook and loop again as I have 3 different type of gates already which makes it awkward for joining up etc

ditto here,

Have both types here. Pin ones are much better, much more flexible. The loop ones have ended up in a permanent setup.

Ok thanks,
Looking for lowish ones, that you can throw the leg over as opposed to climbing ?

I'm average height, but want to make things as easy and user friendly as I can. An auld boys gate would suit fine.

The journal had a list of all the hurdles at the sheep day in athenry with comparisons of height and weight etc.
they also had a display and most gates were okay to throw a leg across but there were a few that would be okay only if you were a long legged lanky lad.

Had a look at list and has given me some ideas
