A vertically opening gate apparatus comprising:

• an elongate primary post, an elongate outer post and an inner elongate post between said elongate primary post and said elongate outer post;
• a rectangular gate section having an upper edge with a hinge corner and a locking corner, a lower edge with a hinge corner and a locking corner, and a hinge side and a locking side;
• a gate hinge pivotally attaching said inner elongate post to the hinge corner of said lower edge of said rectangular gate section such that said rectangular gate section can pivot between a down and closed position and an up and open position;
• a locking bolt for securing said rectangular gate section when in said down and closed position;
• a gate spring mounted to said upper edge hinge corner and said elongate primary post in a position above said upper edge hinge corner and above said inner elongate post such that an upward bias is placed on the upper edge of said rectangular gate section;
• and
• a winch cable for rasing and lowering said rectangular gate section, said cable having a first end attached to said upper edge of said rectangular gate section.
