We are showing you step by step how to turn a cattle panel into a gate and save money by not purchasing a regular farm gate that could cost five times the amount.

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

1st!!! I wish I would have known to have more than one gate when I built my fence last year. It was SUCH a pain to haul feed and hay from the gate (at the very end of the fence) to the barn.

[@mamat8832]

Good idea using a cattle panel for the gate. You needed eye protection when cutting the nubs off. I've had some close calls when cutting smaller gage wire. Look forward to the garden update. Everything looks so nice and pretty with your fence and raised beds.

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

Thanks for the tutorial. You can never have too many gates.

[@HelpYouToOrganize]

Well even though this video was made 3 years ago; this info is very timely for me as I need a new gate! Thanks so much for sharing! God Bless :)

[@lavonneschultz2561]

that rake laying on ground just waiting for you to step on it so it can smack you good one lol .been there/ done that . love the cattle panel info thanks!

[@jerryfuqua3781]

Suggestion , when you get a few staples hammered in swing the panel around then you will have a clear path to hammer the rest of the staples in.

[@Zarealy]

I took your advice about the extra chicken wire and haven't regretted it. I can see having a few extra cattle panels around could be very useful too. A couple other handy tools to go along with those items is a good pair of J-clip pliers and Hog-ring pliers. Both are good tools to have for attaching things like chicken wire to other fencing, or building cages and such. Enjoy Vermont. Thanks for the videos.

[@debbytomlinson9970]

Absolutely Everything you post is helpful, beneficial and easy to understand. I appreciate it all so much.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Debby Tomlinson thanks Debby

[@celinebridges7817]

I know Stacy love it .🤗a great idea on the cattle panel. Now we do keep extra chicken wire around .. does come in handy. Fantastic job Doug🤗 Blessing 👩‍🌾

[@AZFarms]

Cattle panels are so useful it's a great idea to make a gate out of them. I try to keep a good amount around because you never know what you might need them for!!

[@karengates8508]

OMG, I live in the Northeast Kingdom of VT and didn’t know you folks were coming....dangggg...Welcome to VT! Safe Travels...Great Video too...thank you for the TIPS & TRICKS! 😉👍

[@cqangie29]

I love this video!! Love you guys!! I cracked up at the end…the cough 😷 and how you said you got choked up. Made me giggle 🤭

[@Jessica_Bennett]

Your homestead is setup very nicely, I've been getting so many ideas from these videos!

[@ghostprepper5859]

Rolling back to a non grey beard 😅🤣😅 Love y'all 🤗 💟 I wish we had started back in 2011. It's 2022 6/9 We're planning on buying land this summer and our off grid/ homestead. We will work towards a totally free FROM Bill's! Paying cash for everything, cut up our credit cards Year's ago! We have a Amish community in Jamesport Missouri. We live in St Joseph Missouri now but we will be moved by 8/1/22.... Praying 🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽 🙏🏿 for God's will, I believe we can feed the people spiritually and physically.

When you can't get your children to do their homeschool curriculum because they are watching Doug and Stacey channel. 😯👍 Life skills class= (knife making) check! We may need a road trip from the other side of MO for a field trip😀. Keep up the great informational videos!

[@StIsidoresFarm]

Wow! The garden is looking great. BRILLIANT idea about the cattle panel gate. That is an idea we'll hold on to for future use. Thanks!

[@TheWonderwy]

good info on access! I bet you have grown to appreciate it over the years since.

[@lisabooker6405]

Great info as always! Your greenhouse is soooo pretty! You guys are awesome! Be safe on your trip...Doug, remember where ya put the laptop...better yet...Stacy will you remember where he leaves it? LOL I'm just teasing. Have fun. Looking forward to trip footage! God Bless! 💕✝️ Lisa

[@vinygee1]

That Hammer your using! one of my favourites i wont buy another brand but a U.S made Estwing.and im in Australia

[@diyfferent]

Very cool idea. Your garden area is really coming along nicely. Thanks.

[@cllnplmr]

Yay!! You have my guest house ready!!! Haha! Looking good, truly! Functional and fashionable! Lovely aesthetics.

[@kimhiner7883]

Everything is so expensive now, I'm probably gonna need a gate or 2 like that. Thanks Doug!

[@beaverrick9789]

Great Idea Doug, looks good also!! Thanks for the tip.

[@daleb1225]

Doug, if you ever need a small walk in gate using your cattle panel, cut off a section like you did however extend it past the post when you staple it tight. Then take the section you cut off and mentioned using in the garden and bend each of the ends around the upright you just cut them off of, it creates its own hinge and swings open and closed. I did this when using cattle panels for a dog kennel and the gates worked excellent. Thank you for the videos hope that made sense.

[@adamcroker_hg]

Had a few cattle panels laying around on the property that we bought and wasn't sure how to use them, most efficiently. Thanks for the good ideas, and the tutorial!

[@LindasPantry]

Everything looks so awesome!!!!

[@waltmooredanwilson8754]

I just found you guys on here a short time ago. I totally love your videos. It reminds me so much of farm life from years ago. Take care and God bless.

[@kathryncolton4423]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I'm creating a fenced-in composting area adjacent to my chicken coop so the hens can dig around in it. I'm going to line the ground with cedar fencing to contain all the compost material and surround it with cattle panels on top. I was just trying to figure out how to make an entryway into it, and this is it! thanks!

[@amysvob3066]

wow the garden space is looking fantastic Doug!!

[@missmix48]

I been using cattle panels for gates many years now. Hold the staple with a needle nose plier it makes it easier, & you won't smash your fingers

[@_LUNARVAEZ]

I'm really inspired by this. I have so many ideas for this spring. I can't wait!

[@mandbhomestead]

Thanks for the awesome tip, it will come in handy for us. Have fun at the Mother Earth News Fair.

[@stephanienuce7711]

It all looks SOOOO nice! Great job!!!!

[@DannaHatchett]

Nice tip! Putting this one in my back pocket for sure!

[@BarnGeek]

Awesome Idea! We built 4 cattle panel gates last year as temporary gates, but they really could be permanent. We didn't cut ours because we wanted to use them for something else later. So we just clipped them to the fence wire with some carabiners and we had quick temporary gates in a few seconds. Now I just have to build some wood gates to replace them.

[@contrarymaryurbanhomestead1363]

looking great! can't wait for the full reveal!

[@onedazinn998]

Thanks Doug! :) I need a cheap fix to a small gate & this should do the trick - thanks for sharing.

[@5NFarm]

Those cattle panels are handy. Loving what I see of the garden area. Looks really nice. The rock looks clean and tidy. :)

[@madamestrawberry4321]

Doug is an idea generation machine ♥ Thank you!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Madame Strawberry 👍😁👊

[@annotoole5864]

I love the materials you use...Bob wire and Steeples...LOL. Once you get going right... This is a good idea for non-daily access. We have used some crazy things left in the yard...OSB to name one, what a pain! I bet I could ask around and even get some old panels someone has lying around without a use...hmmm. Thanks Doug!

[@loriannryder6274]

Awesome video. Love the idea of a few gates. Very smart. Thanks for sharing😁

[@ronhart4166]

Garden is looking GREAT !!

[@vinnettepope8255]

Nice 👍🏽 looking fences. Awesome 👏 job.

[@katiep6676]

Love cattle panel, we use it all the time!

[@Horselackey]

I use them also; but instead of staples, which isn't a bad idea. I used some leftover pieces of Ramm electric rope (it lasts about 20-30 years) for "hinges". For a garden walkthru and lawnmower gates. We made a wooden PT frame and stapled the cut cattlepanel to the frame and later painted it; after it cured.... I have 2 4ft. wide gates I can take my 42" mower thru. The cost was about 12$ a gate instead of the 54$ for 'garden gates' of cyclone fence used in the suburbs or the 'walkthru' cattle panel gates at around 50$+.

[@thomashoward7909]

thanks Doug for another great video very informative

[@selador11]

Now that we have it marked, we can put it on the ground. hahaha Nice save! :)

[@offgridcowboy6187]

Homie Doug,..rooster crowed 3:34 min mark,..does that make me part of Cuckoosquad ha Great Info Vid=)

[@chevy6299]

Love the update on the potatoes. Keep 'em coming.

[@ladyb003]

Great idea.... thanks for the tutorial. Take care.

[@mainecritter3292]

Doug, looks really great!

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Thanks for this tip, Doug. I would love to attend the meeting in Burlington, but that's a 8-9 hour drive west for me and my antique pick-up.

[@joenadeau4419]

Good ideas, love the cattle panels.

[@tammymurphy1268]

great idea tjx!!!!!! so many nuggets!

[@lindsaynorman9323]

every episode is a great show Doug!! I always love potential ways to save a few dollars. also watching the time lapse made me wish I could actually finish my chores that quickly hahaha wishful thinking #cuckoosquad THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Hey Doug & Stacy. New subscriber. I'm headed over to check out your rain catchment system.

[@dianne11ca]

#CUCKOOSQUAD! Great idea for the gate. Thank you, Doug!

[@NS-pf2zc]

Nifty! Cattle panels are hot topics these days. I'm going to be building a temporary coop from them that I can convert for other uses once I figure out where I'm building my permanent one!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Natasha S. make sure to watch the 50.00 coop video we made 👍👊

[@NS-pf2zc]

OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY Will do! Thanks!! ❤

[@1000sofroots]

Right on. Thanks Doug. Good info.

[@gscrafty4801]

What a great cost saving idea!!!

[@debbiegallett1125]

Good information.

[@cindyoquinn7924]

Enjoyed the video👍🏻

[@christinetaylor5726]

You have a beautiful garden area!

[@eaglecamphomesteadswfl9006]

Hope you have a safe trip to Vermont

[@TheTexasBoys]

Super Cool!😄. Gonna use this idea!

[@sierge1]

Great idea.

[@treymcfall]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Relaxationdefined8609]

Thanks! I was just wondering how to make nice but functional gates around here! (And easy because I have a lot cut out for me this summer as it is!)

[@ThriftyTruckers]

Nice idea 👍🏻

[@BlessedFarm]

What a great idea my friend God Bless

[@reahalea1]

Looks like Doug has been busy!

[@cindythomas681]

I was hoping you would explain or show the bottom of the sleeves. At the wrist area. curious as to how they are finished off. And yes, I would like to see the fall and winter wardrobe.

[@Brighten-up-sunshine]

Nice video Have a great Toy Filled day Elsabell & friend's

[@CanadianFarmGirl1]

Absolutely love this method. If used this for Chicken coops duck pens, and dog runs!!

[@christinaperez254]

thanks for the tips!

[@susieyarbrough9845]

Ha! I was watching this thinking it was new until you said .... 2017 😁🤪

[@gonzalezpandura]

thank you Doug. My mom need a gate to her fence but we can't seem to afford the remade gates.

[@douglaswatson3638]

cool video!!

[@bevandbillscedarhillhomest7717]

That looked fairly easy.

[@100Diamonds10]

suggestion, you might like it better if you used straw from now on to the top of the pallets. the straw keeps them cleaner.

[@dalegribble4308]

Saved me 200 bucks here thanks

[@DaybirdAviaries]

I need a dozen of these.

[@laurieasmus9998]

Hey Doug. I always learn something when I watch! I won't need fences until next year this time- working on buying land and building small hone now- but grateful to see the video! I was wondering- hard to see how bottom of cattle panel attaches to the bottom boards, or does it not? Does it just sit on top of the board? Or sandwiched between 2 boards??Thx for clarifying this. Love you guys- happy to be subscriber!

[@acraftymouse213]

Cattle panels are also a great trellis and can be used to make chicken tractors/greenhouses.

[@abitofthisabitofthatwithda5379]

LOL THERE GO'S THAT BOB-WIA STUFF LOL!!!!

[@uptheos6916]

Been subscribed approx 9 months always thumbs up, all your I am a one man show builds have been great but your idea of easy access gate needs a major rethink - example to get down on your hands & knees to remove two kick boards then same again to reattach every time you need access is going to be hard in your seventies / eighties.Really think you should rethink this idea again & build conventional gate with hinges & catch lock. Best regards.

[@uClash]

"now that we have it marked, we can put it on the ground" ROFL nice haha

[@sueleigh1018]

Every time you build a structure, it's so attractive. Does white man speak with fork-ed tongue when he says he came to this acreage with no building experience?

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

[@steveo8827]

Very good video. Well explained and easy to follow. Do you have any advice on keeping flying or climbing critters out of the garden? We keep getting birds and squirrels eating our fruits and veggies.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

dog? =)

[@jeffreyweeks9144]

How did you say to make the cattle panel gate sturdier? I want to block an entry way and this would be great! I can see putting electricity to it like from a solar charger for even more security. Thanks for the video!

[@OurTinyHomestead]

sooo when is the garden tour video coming out?!! 😃😉👍

[@nile1929]

What material did you use for the posts? Is your garden fence construction in another video?

[@SuperHurdman]

I heard it was good for supporting tomato's the cattle wire.

[@SecondFoundation]

I think you should show a finished project at the start to introduce us - then show how to make that happen. I get confused because I don't know what the goal is while your doing the process. looks good though!
