Invented by Nebraska cowboys to make riding through gates on horseback much easier. It is as easy to use from horseback as it is on foot. It is safe, strong, easy to install, and will last a lifetime. Try one and you will never use anything else!
Safe: smooth curve of latch mechanism means that horses and cows won’t get poked in the side if they hit the end of the gate. Strong: constructed of 5/8” cold roll steel rod. Simple: simple to use just pull the chain to open, let go and gravity closes the latch. No springs to wear out and only one moving part. Forgiving: with the real cowboy latch you don’t have to have the gate lined up perfectly with the latch post as you do with other latches, in fact you don’t even have to be close!
The design of the cowboy latch means that you have nearly 6 inches of tolerance - yes 6 inches. So if your gate sags, the latch will still work just like new!
Pre-hung gates are perfect for portable corrals or for permanent locations too! Just chain or bolt it to a post, no need to spend time hanging a gate.
Cowboy latch is standard on all Plus One pre-hung gates.
Frame is strong & rigid, made of 2” square tubing.
These gates are 8’6” tall with loops on the end for easy connecting to portable panels.
These gates are the best in the world, and they are affordable too!
6 bar gates are 4’ tall 7 bar gates are 4’9” tall
Gates measure 3.0” shorter than advertised "hole" size.
All notched joints. A notched joint is significantly stronger than a pinched joint.
1.9” 14 gauge structural tubing for bars and uprights
1.9” 10 gauge tube for the end that has the hinges.
Hinges are large diameter, thick, sleeves. They turn easier, last longer, and are much stronger than other types of hinges.
You can use the ultra heavy duty ‘all thread’ hinges for wood posts, or you can use the special weld on hinges for steel posts.Chain latch is made of 1/4” plate and fits a 5/16” chain. It is strong, surelocking and easy to use. It is standard on all gates, as is 3’ of 5/16” chain.
Available in sizes from less than 4’ long up to 20’. Longer gates are available, though we recommend using two shorter gates or using a bi-folding gate in holes longer than 20’.

The "Tombstone" Model
If you need to replace an existing windbreak, or if you want a windbreak that you can move quickely and easily, then the Plus One windbreak is an excellent choice for you. It is easy to install and easy to take down. In addition, it will protect more cows than traditional soild windbreaks.
The Plus One windbreak works by letting part of the wind through the windbreak. This equalizes the pressure on the two sides of the windbreak and prevents the wind from rushing to the backside of the windbreak like it will on a solid fence or building. This design also prevents snow from swirling and drifting on the backside of the windbreak. These two key advantages mean that your Plus One windbreak will protect your animals better than a solid windbreak would.
Panels connect with a pin, just like portable corral panels!
A new way to build windbreak and snow fence, it is easy to install, easy to move, and easy on the wallet.
Panels are self supporting; you only need light posts on the end for portable windbreaks.
This windbreak is built on the same principle as other highly effective windbreak products, the difference is the price; ours is about half.
Features: *All steel construction with Heavy duty 2" x 2" square tube frame; *20ga wind break slates; *Windbreak is designed to maximize wind protection for a given area; *Also designed to minimize snow drifting over the same area; *Can be permanently istalled or used as a portable windbreak.
Benefits: This windbreak will out perform any similar windbreak anywhere. For effectiveness, economy and quality, there is nothing better! The Plus One windbreak will maximize the amount of animals that are protected. It's hard to give an exact number on the amount of animals that can be protected, but, in a stong wind, the area of effective protection is almost 3 times larger than with standard solid windbreaks. In addition to being a better windbreak, it is a better drift fence too. In a blizzard the snow piles up behind solid windbreaks, but the Plus One windbreak pushes the drift out from the fence line. this makes for a shallower, much less severe drift. The Plus One windbreak is easy to install as permanent windbreak, or in can be used as quickly moveable protable windbreak.
