Light confinement, done right
Watchman is Tarter's gate series for small herds, horses and smaller animals. The wire fill closes the open space between the rails, so legs and hooves cannot get caught and smaller stock cannot push through. For cattle and crowded pens, Tarter builds heavier gates in its Steelmax and Bullmax series.
Painted or galvanized
The painted gates in Green, Blue and Black have 2" x 4" 8-gauge wire fill and a corrosion-resistant finish. The galvanized gate has wire fill with graduated spacing, tighter toward the bottom, and comes with a welded chain latch. Its galvanized finish holds up well in salty, coastal regions.
Measure the opening, not the gate
Like every Tarter 1-3/4" tube gate, the 6' Watchman is about 3" shorter than its listed length, roughly 69", to leave room for the hinges and a clean swing. Order the size that matches the opening between your posts: a 6' gate for a 6' opening, wide enough for a garden tractor or a mower.
Ready to hang
The gate ships with two 6" screw-in hinge pins and a snap chain. The top and bottom hinges adjust, so you can hang it for a left- or right-hand swing.

Frequently asked questions
What size opening does the 6' gate fit?
A 6' opening between posts. The gate itself is about 69" long, roughly 3" shorter than listed, which leaves room for the hinges and a clean swing.
Which animals is the Watchman gate for?
Light confinement of horses, goats, sheep and other smaller animals. The wire fill keeps hooves from getting caught between the rails. For cattle or crowded pens, a heavier tube gate is the better choice.
Painted or galvanized?
Painted gates in Green, Blue and Black have 2" x 4" 8-gauge wire fill. The galvanized gate has graduated wire spacing, tighter toward the bottom, a welded chain latch, and a finish suited to salty, coastal regions.
What comes in the box?
Two 6" screw-in hinge pins and a snap chain. The galvanized gate also comes with a welded chain latch.
Can I hang it for a left- or right-hand swing?
Yes. The top and bottom hinges adjust, so the same gate works either way.
