I couldn't help but chuckle when you said to the chickens: "I'm serious." Delightful!!

[@zolalloyd46]

Loved the video! I was interested about the gate spring to be honest, but watching your chickens doing an impromptu runner was a lovely and very funny bonus! In fact I found your vid far funnier than a lot of Hollywood comedies :) Guess I'll cluck off now. Thanks again

[@elvyn123]

Yay you always have to be careful when you have extras in your videos..... never sure what they will do. I almost forgot the spring after seeing the chickens ! As always, entertaining and educational.

[@DelilahZoe]

PERFECTION!! I knew it didn't have to go through the metal hinge, as other videos insisted. Bless you. I'm ready for this project, God willing. :)

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

Nice to see chickens having a good decent life instead of being processed and treated as if life means nothing! 👏👏

[@MindOverMetalTV]

The bit with the chickens is the most British thing I've ever seen. And if he's not British he should be.

[@saltys5528]

"You've pooed on my path... 😠" 😂😂

[@phillmundin6714]

Excellent instructions. Fitted same type of spring to our gate toda( 23/12/23)

[@JonathanBeltran]

"ah you poo'd on my path" is what i used to say when i worked in san francisco great video btw i managed to fixed my spring!

[@evosagan2877]

Love this mate. You remind me of people I know. Looking a cheap way to make my front gate close tight every time for when there's a dog

[@sytariq1]

Thanks very much for showing this. I had no idea of how to work this gadget until I had seen this video. Good luck with your hens and eggs.

[@leaporter3109]

Brilliant instructions. And the chickens were hilarious. I wonder if this will work on a metal gate.

[@RXP91]

Got one of these today, could not figure out how to tension it and it came with no instructions. Life safer! Thanks

[@johnnycardenas929]

Totally cute when they all rolled out...lol

[@Trooper2358]

Also works for delivery drivers that leave gates open!!!

[@dannymurphy1779]

I think you have cornered the market in spring chicken video's Tim.

[@tendividedbysix4835]

Haha I love it! I came for the tips, but I stayed for the chicken wrangling ;)

[@niquesavings1300]

😂😂😂 they like ya’y we get to play.

[@ron1martens]

I love chickens and roosters.

[@user-rg7jt7ne1f]

exceeded my expectations~

[@npknscrb]

Thanks for keeping the chicken interlude in the video. :D You must be a chicken whisperer, most of my chickens would be over those fences in a heartbeat even though they are heavy breeds.

[@harveysingh8690]

Thank you for information. Love your hens.👍💜

[@joulesthurman6311]

Fab idea 💡 super helpful thanks 🙏 ❤

[@colinnorman1484]

having worked in the industrial door industry i can tell you that is a right hand gate spring ( hinge on right hand side of gate) you just unwound the spring which technically means you have taken tension off

[@Padraig123]

I thought the spring would go on the outside as a closer?

[@andrewdavies1312]

Good short video. No stupid music. 10/10

[@sharonbarns8903]

I like this video big thanks for the help how 2 put a bracket on the gate 🌹👌

[@gerrym4377]

Tim you are the chicken whisperer, in complete control there mate 😂👍😂👍

[@tonitaylor5485]

🤣 NO you stay! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓 🤣 anther informative video with the added feature of Chicken Run the sequel 🤣

[@John01GM40]

nice neat video , thanks

[@javiereaton6083]

love it

[@bigbore400]

Shouldn't the spring be on the other side of the gate. Is the soring suppose to work by stretching or by compression.

[@joypalos474]

My thoughts exactly. We have kids playing in our back garden all the time with our kids and the gate is heavy for them to close. I thought this spring might pull it shut. Doesn’t seem to have enough strength to shut it as spring is used here. Perhaps I could put it on other side as spring is on the inside of my house storm door.

[@ShipCreek]

You let those chickens out for comedy relief didnt you?😁LOL

[@Rob-eg8qc]

Does it have to be fitted on the hinge side, is it possible to fit on the latch side, thank you

[@thomas12951]

soooo cute

[@mikededmon]

You've heard of "herding cats", now there's "herding chickens". LOL

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Quite the art!

[@williamtomkiel8215]

It's way more fun if you use a water pistol . . .

[@steenfraosterbro3268]

Maybe consider switching to torx screws to avoid stripping the drive.

[@SeymourClearly2]

"Them chickens are up to summat!"

[@kennytyrer1965]

I use the same method you will find when kids let the gate close on a fully opened gate the little metal pegs will just jump out of the slots...glue or weld pegs into place...just a heads up?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Will keep an eye on them. 👍 They do make them unnecessarily loose!

[@heidis8713]

I have an interior a door closer with a similar design, and the pegs screw in. Maybe the peg could be replaced with a screw / bolt? My exterior spring pegs also fell out, so I will try a small screw this time.

[@rickbear7249]

Them's ain't ducks 😂

[@blakey271able]

Will this spring still work if the gate opens both ways push and pull thanks

[@pat_link_]

The chicken whisperer

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

My gate opens exactly like yours and I installed the spring like you on the same hinge side and it's opening it not shutting it?

[@H3YdUD3]

I think on that side top needs to be on post snd bottom on gate, that’s what instructions say

[@KillieGuy1]

Tension it the other way.

[@KillieGuy1]

@@H3YdUD3 Nope.

[@g5magic]

How heavy of the gate can this spring handle?

[@mjsoup29]

I think one quarter of the continent was about the gate spring and the other 3/4 was the chickens in the garden. Not complaining but it’s definitely not focused on the topic in the title.

[@beastboy24k44]

We're did u buy it ?)?

[@shaun9407]

Has anyone managed to adapt this spring for a metal gate?

[@daicullinan9970]

Thought the spring was meant to go on the outside of the gate so it stretches when opening the pulls it back shut ??

[@TheRestorationCouple]

So do I until I realised how it was meant to be done. 👍

[@marekmareckz5279]

Do you endorse the concept of putting a finish on each part of the exterior parts prior to assembly? Mostly to insure adequate protection from the elements. Terrific production in every aspect.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Not sure which you mean but I always try and treat cut ends of timber yes, as for metal, usually galvanised so leave as is.

[@marekmareckz5279]

The Restoration Couple Do you not paint/stain all surfaces of exterior fence or gate components?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Ah I see. Well with the picket fence I did as it was easier to spray all the components green first rather than mess around after. All the wood is usually treated which helps.

[@GB434]

Wranngling Avian Dinosauria..... LOL

[@DannyChengWasHere]

Great video! I am going to locate my chicken run close to the vegetable garden now! Do you know of a soft close option like we have for inside cabinets? I want to have a gate without a latch so we can get through it with our hands full but it will close and stay closed without latching it.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Perhaps a gate spring and then some heavy duty rare earth magnets. 👍

[@amandaboundford3812]

How do I fix a spring to a steal gate that doesn't have a hinge just had a bolt fixing at top and bottom that let's gate open and close. How do I fix a spring t that kind of gate

[@AudioPhile]

This is what I'm trying to find out

[@wizspencer]

Omg I'm first XD

[@dreamfpv7865]

WizSpencer na good try tho buddy 😆

[@wizspencer]

@@dreamfpv7865 this video was up for 8 seconds when I commented XD I'm sure I was first haha

[@dreamfpv7865]

WizSpencer haha it’s always the way, one day we will get it!

[@davidgale6738]

There's a lot of chicken in this video.
