So one side of my ‘stalls’ is a 10ft wide, mesh filled gate with nothing on the other side of it. One of my friends has an emergency, their yearling that need to stay with me since he has an eye ulcer that needs to be medicated every 4 hrs that just happened, and she goes on vaca tomorrow morning! We are worried he will try to jump out the one side of my stall that is the mesh filled on the bottom type gate. The gate ‘feet’ are sitting in holes drilled into the 4x4 that is rebarred to the ground. One side is just the chain of the gate going thru a screw eye that is drilled into the metal ‘leg’ bar of the barn (Carport) to keep it secure. The other side of the gate is bolted to the back stall gate, but I have 4x8 plywood walls going up 8ft high on the back of that gate, screwed into 2x4’s that are bolted into the heavy duty pallets I sit my hay on. The pics hopefully make all that more clear lol. The stall fronts have heavy duty black tarp over them zip tied to keep the sun and weather out, so he can only really see out that side of the stall where the problem gate is.
I need cheap, fast, easy ideas to extend the height of the gate ‘stall side’ but still allow him to see my pony in the paddock so he isn’t in a stall with no visibility completely freaking out while he is with me for the week, any ideas!!!
