       Do you have a favourite gate closing mechanism?We wonder why one would not 🤣 In any case, may we present ours.A rock on a chain.Automatically closes the gate behind you as you pass 👍

       @coth Nice one!My favourite is similar to yours, but, employs a tractor tyre inner tube to provide the closing force (opening the gate stretches the inner tube). Photo when I'm next at the gate.

       @fitheach Fab 😀 Though we reckon it will not last as long before needing repair, you can certainly get *many* springs out of an old tube, so a good recycling opportunity 😀 Love simple solutions with whatever is to hand 👍

       @coth The tube has been there for, at least, 10 years. Inner tubes must be made of good stuff.The full kit includes:inner tubeblue ropefencing staples, large x2

       @fitheach Wow.Decades of use from a single tube, or many gates for a decade.That's impressive 😀

       @coth It'll likely outlast the gate, and I'm not including the years when it was used for the original purpose.
