A few weeks ago I got a great deal on ranch gates listed on Craigslist. The owners only wanted $75 for all three gates: a 16 ft, 8 ft and a 4 ft. While the 16 ft gate was bent due to someone driving into it, the other gates are straight. These gates are of very heavy metal. The 16 ft gate is so heavy I can hardly lift it. These gates could even hold a bull.
I have had bent or bowed gates before and usually I could use my weight to straighten them. Not on this gate. Here is how I straightened the gate.
I had to drive on the gates repeatedly and in different spots to get them straight.
(FYI: I broke the pickup step another day when driving in the pasture.)
