Gate-Within-A-Gate
This gate-within-a-gate lets an individual pass through large gates without having to swing the entire gate open. Keeps livestock in without crowding up against it. It also makes it easier for kids, wives and anyone who's physically challenged to pass through a gate. The latching mechanism is as easy to unlatch as a toolbox and the gate itself weighs only 5 lbs.
The horizontal bars were first cut out of the main part of the gate, creating a 36-in. wide opening. The top and bottom bars were not cut out. Two vertical braces were cut out of 2-in. dia. lightweight conduit. The hinges are made out of two 8-in. long pieces of 3/8-in. round stock set into 3/8-in. collars. The latch was also made using a piece of 3/8-in. round stock with a couple collars and a spring.
The gate cost only $7.40 to put together. (Jeff Debevoise, 7051 Licking Trail Rd. S.E., Newark, Ohio 43055 ph 740 323-0477)
