Field gates and posts.
We can supply and install metal and timber field gates to driveways, fields, paddocks stables etc. You can see below for examples of fittings and styles from recent jobs, but there are others to choose from!
In general most domestic applications require timber for aesthetic reasons, they look nicer and can be painted your own choice of colour. If you are painting over the gate its advisable to source a gate and posts that are treated with green Tanalised treatment rather than the brown Tanatone. Timber gates are supplied in various sizes from 3' wide up to 12' and it is possible to have them as a pair, but you must specify this at time of of order so you get a left hand and right hand gate. Posts also come in various sizes with options on the top finish (flat, back weathered, pointed or curved). Most field gate posts will be 2.1mt long, you need depth in the ground to support the gate.
Metal field gates are perfect for stables, fields and farm entrances. They will hang from timber posts but are often supplied with matching metal gate posts with pre welded hinge lugs and slots or 'D' loops for closure. Generally supplied in Galvanised finish only the sizes range from 3' to 15' and again can be hung in pairs to form larger openings.
