Do you think the bolt on the gate is strong enough??

Yes, but I think you need another one at the bottom (or a kickbar/turnbutton) because she will put her feet on the wooden spar at the bottom.

Am with Beth - one on the bottom as you'll find the goats will lean and rub against the fencing/gate and it will bow out before you know it!  we have had to double bolt all of ours now  :)

I have a hook and eye fastener on the bottom on my gate for when Cloud climbs.

Looking goo :thumbsup: d....and I just remembered, when my children were small we bought a big desk for my husbands office, I made him take it out carefuly and turned the cardboard box into a play house, that thing was still standing after years of rain!!!!
I also build a hen run but took it down recently and that too was tough, just used bits that I found, wood is so expensive.
I so would love to build a log cabin from real logs!!!
