Good morning Permies,

Has anyone ever made or currently has a clapper stile gate? I was doing work scrolling Facebook and saw a video of this super neat gate!

I think it is the neatest thing. What are your thoughts?

Very cool. I'd love it until the day I wanted to get the wheelbarrow in there.

Looks neat but what is the advantage to justify all the extra work to build it?

The advantage is that in areas with public walking trails that cut through farmland, this style of gate will never be accidentally left open leaving your herd to find the rye field.
