Has anyone already figured out how to make the fence gate bigger? (Farm DLC)

What it says in the title. There seem to be three different ways to flip it, but none of the usual ways to enlarge something work.

This is my struggle, I thought it was like the fences themselves, the scroll wheel lets you enlarge the fence but the gates are unchangeable. I hope they change this soon. it is driving me crazy!

Just buy REALLY skinny animals and tell them to 'suck it in' when they use the gates lol

No doubt! Hahaha!

Placing two gates next to each other should make it a larger gate.

Not in my game, it only makes another tiny gate section that you can't get through without putting in the other side.

If you have the gates set so the latches are facing each other (so it would swing open like saloon doors) it automatically becomes a two-door gate, with the doors opening in sync.

We know that much, getting each side to become longer is the issue. Some say they are able to and others of us have not been able to get the desired result. This leads me to believe it is a bug.

This works with the wooden fence, but not with the metallic one. That one only gets two gates next to each other making two openings that would be pretty tiny even for a not super skinny human, and so way too tiny for horses or cows ;).

No, it works with the metal fence too.

Oh nice, I got to try this - because when I reload suddenly I can't step through the single doors, so hopefully that will fix that issue.

I can do this too, I want to be able to make the sections of the gate longer so it looks more like gates in real life. Gates are wide in order to keep animals from spooking and bashing into the sides of the gate or fence and injuring themselves as well as for being able to drive herds through. It is just a frustrating system to set up. You get random posts where you don't want them and it just doesn't look right imho.
