Many of you have read this old thread Get your wife some chickens . It is a wealth of information.
Yeah that was from 2016 when @Chikn told me to get my wife some chickens. I’m just now fixing our coop and building a run…
Yeah I’ve been dragging my feet a little…

I finally got the gate post hole dug out yesterday, man what a chore. Took me a few hours to get it done, got the post concreted in, finished right at sunset. Got everything cleaned up around 7:00, and it’s raining now so I hope the Quikrete set by now. Since I had to expand the hole to get at the roots, it took three 50lb bags to fill it back up.
My pruning hand saw really come in handy getting those roots out.

It truly is a chore to set posts and concrete.
I think next time i want a gate which is in my near future im going to go with the t-post hinge instead.
Here is a run with t posts and the wire i use… much easier than framing and setting posts like I did.

Too many varmints can get through a gate like that.

Considered a pre-made gate like that, but will probably make my own out of 2x6 and 2x4’s. I did that with my deck gate about 8 years ago, it still looks good.
