Matt and Kate quickly headed out to farm on Friday arvo to build a gateway. They recycled an old gate, used some cattle rail and posts, and employed some of the very handy Cattle Rail End Brackets to put together a gateway.
These brackets mean you don't have to be a welder to put up sturdy cattle rail (yes, it's great if you are!).
And guess what, starting next week, 4/5/2026, you can BUY 5 ROTECH CATTLE RAIL BRACKETS AND GET 1 FREE - how good is that!
The Powertech Post Driver also made an appearance, making light work of sinking our 100NB posts. We also used an impact driver with a tech screw bit to secure the cattle rail brackets and with the Rotech Tube socket attached to quickly and easily tighten our gate fittings.
Tools used:
- drill
- Powertech post driver
- Rotech tube socket
Materials:
- 6 pieces of cattle rail
- 6 Rotech cattle rail brackets (round)
- 3 100nb 2.4m steel strainer posts (one was already there on an existing fence)
- 1 old, repurposed gate
- 1 FG6100 Rotech gate fitting kit
- 1 Rotech spring latch
