PGT Extra — Narrow Gate and High Beam — How I’d Brief
A bonus PGT-style lane: 2-foot gate, high white beam, load will not fit unless rotated.
Obstacle
A 2-foot-wide white gate, then a high white beam (people can sit astride). Red side-nets. The drum is 2.5 feet in diameter — it will not pass the gate upright.
Colour reminders
- Gate and beam white.
- Side nets red.
- Ground after the gate is white.
Helping material & load
- Planks
- Rope
- Ballie
- Tolvi
Load: Drum 2.5 ft diameter
What the GTO is waiting for
Mention the rotation of the load in the first 10 seconds of your brief — the GTO is listening for it.

A complete brief (for comparison)
Steal the structure — aim, resources, sequence, roles, colour, fallback — not these exact words on the ground.
- Aim: rotate the drum onto its side / use planks as rails through the gate, then beam as a sit-across.
- Resources: two planks as a rail; rope to stop the drum rolling into red nets.
- Sequence: rails first, drum, people, then beam one-by-one with a spotter.
- Roles: two rail setters, two drum, two spotters at the nets.
- Fallback: if rails slip, chock with tolvi on white only.
