Story: Rural language
The Taranaki gate is a makeshift wire and batten gate, named after the dairying area where it is widely used, although the gates are found throughout New Zealand. This one is stretched between concrete posts and has a barbed-wire top and five plain wires. When not used as a gate, it forms part of the fence.
