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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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. :)
Excellent instructions. Fitted same type of spring to our gate toda( 23/12/23)
I couldn't help but chuckle when you said to the chickens: "I'm serious." Delightful!!
Nice to see chickens having a good decent life instead of being processed and treated as if life means nothing! 👏👏
"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!

"You've pooed on my path... 😠" 😂😂
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.
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
Also works for delivery drivers that leave gates open!!!
Fab idea 💡 super helpful thanks 🙏 ❤
Brilliant instructions. And the chickens were hilarious. I wonder if this will work on a metal gate.
The bit with the chickens is the most British thing I've ever seen. And if he's not British he should be.
Helpful thanks for posting!
I thought the spring would go on the outside as a closer?
exceeded my expectations~
Totally cute when they all rolled out...lol
Thanks for that. 👍🏼
Thank you for information. Love your hens.👍💜
❤️ chicken whisperer!!👍
Got one of these today, could not figure out how to tension it and it came with no instructions. Life safer! Thanks
Does it have to be fitted on the hinge side, is it possible to fit on the latch side, thank you
I like this video big thanks for the help how 2 put a bracket on the gate 🌹👌
I am starting to think looking up what a " Gate Return of 155cm " means - is a tortuous activity; like finding Tartan paint ??
I love chickens and roosters.
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?
Will keep an eye on them. 👍 They do make them unnecessarily loose!
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.

Will this spring still work if the gate opens both ways push and pull thanks
How heavy of the gate can this spring handle?
Shouldn't the spring be on the other side of the gate. Is the soring suppose to work by stretching or by compression.

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?
I think on that side top needs to be on post snd bottom on gate, that’s what instructions say
Tension it the other way.

Nope.
nice neat video , thanks
You've heard of "herding cats", now there's "herding chickens". LOL
Quite the art!
It's way more fun if you use a water pistol . . .
Haha I love it! I came for the tips, but I stayed for the chicken wrangling ;)
Thought the spring was meant to go on the outside of the gate so it stretches when opening the pulls it back shut ??
So do I until I realised how it was meant to be done. 👍
We're did u buy it ?)?
love it
Good short video. No stupid music. 10/10

This is what I'm trying to find out

Perhaps a gate spring and then some heavy duty rare earth magnets. 👍
Tim you are the chicken whisperer, in complete control there mate 😂👍😂👍
I think you have cornered the market in spring chicken video's Tim.
🤣 NO you stay! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓 🤣 anther informative video with the added feature of Chicken Run the sequel 🤣
soooo cute
Has anyone managed to adapt this spring for a metal gate?
Maybe consider switching to torx screws to avoid stripping the drive.
You let those chickens out for comedy relief didnt you?😁LOL

"Them chickens are up to summat!"
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.
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.
The Restoration Couple
Do you not paint/stain all surfaces of exterior fence or gate components?
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.
Omg I'm first XD
WizSpencer na good try tho buddy 😆
@@dreamfpv7865 this video was up for 8 seconds when I commented XD I'm sure I was first haha
WizSpencer haha it’s always the way, one day we will get it!
