I have an eight-foot gate that connects two paddocks. The gate is left open most of the time so there is a lot of horse traffic there. The ground slopes so the west paddock is lower, and the dirt (mud) is eroding to the point where the conduit that carries the electric line is visible sometimes. The conduit is run through a steel pipe and it is just barely visible at this point.
What do do you think of laying several bags of landscape pea gravel under the gate? I can easily pick some bags up at the local Menardâs. Or wood chips?
