NC Indiana | We've dealt w/ 2 outfits out of the Liberty, KY area on green gates. We have the first set that are 3 yrs old that the gate has rusted through on the bottom tube (tied up, not hung). The coral we bought at that time is still mostly in good shape, except for the pass through, but it was in the mud and a knothead calf tried to run through it w/ me - flattened the pipes, but still works. 2 yrs ago, we bought the whole load for $6k - 2 corals, 1 pass through, 21 16' ft's, mix of 12-20 ft's. They discounted the 16's to $85 on that. They've held up better, more verticals vs 3 yrs old stuff, but a 6-7 wt calf will still flatten them if they jump and land on them. All in all, they are better than the same priced stuff at the farm stores, but not as good as the higher priced stuff. Local guy makes heavy (11 ga gates), but it takes 2-3 people to move one. | |
