It suits farmers, smallholders, estate managers, landscapers and homeowners who want a working timber gate rather than a decorative one. Each gate is made in the UK from sustainably sourced softwood, green pressure treated against rot and decay, with a planed finish. It stands 1.2m (4ft) high, comes in six lengths from 3ft to 12ft, and hangs left- or right-hand. Hinges, latches and posts are sold separately, so plan the full set before you dig the first post hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressure treated softwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen pressure treatment protects the timber against rot and decay, the usual failure point for a gate standing close to wet ground and long grass. Life expectancy is up to 15 years; how close you get depends on exposure, drainage around the posts and how hard the gate is worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiamond bracing and substantial stiles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diagonal diamond bracing carries the weight of the bars back towards the hinge post. On a long gate that matters: load not returned to the hinge side pulls the closing end down, and a sagging gate drags, binds and stops latching. Two substantial stiles, one at either end, give strength where the hinges are fixed and where the latch takes daily knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUniversal hanging and galvanised fixings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the gate is symmetrical, you decide left- or right-hand on site, not at the order stage. Galvanised bolts and fixings give the metalwork protection against corrosion outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK, sustainably sourced softwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen pressure treated, planed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond bracing to help prevent sagging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese gates go where a traditional timber field gate is expected: agricultural field and paddock entrances, livestock control and access points, rural and farm driveways, and park and estate boundaries. They also suit gardens and residential entrances where you want a traditional rural look rather than metal or close boarding. At 1.2m high, check the height suits your animals or use before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraditional 5-bar field gate, diamond (diagonal) bracing, two substantial stiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSustainably sourced softwood, made in the UK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTreatment and finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen pressure treated against rot and decay; planed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\/natural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHanging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal: symmetrical, left- or right-hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBolts and fixings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2m (4ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLengths available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3ft (0.92m), 4ft (1.22m), 6ft (1.83m), 8ft (2.44m), 10ft (3.05m), 12ft (3.66m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5ft, 7ft, 9ft, 11ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-75kg depending on length; per-length weights not published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLife expectancy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 15 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTimber species and member sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNot included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHinges, latches and posts (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the clear opening between your posts, allow for hinge and latch clearance, and choose the length that fits. If your measurement falls between sizes, remember 5ft, 7ft, 9ft and 11ft are currently unavailable, so you may need to adjust post positions to suit a 3ft, 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft or 12ft gate. Match the hinges to the length: 3ft, 4ft and 6ft gates take 450mm (18in) hinges; 8ft, 10ft and 12ft gates take 600mm (24in) hinges. Choose from standard double strap hinge sets, adjustable hinge sets with hook-on plate, or double strap hinge sets with hook-on plate. On wider spans, an optional gate wheel supports the closing end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation, use \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavier, longer gates need substantial hanging posts set deep in the ground; timber or concrete gate posts both suit. Complete the job with hinges, a catch or latch, and a gate wheel if the span calls for one. Hang the gate on the back of the posts, or between them if you want it to open both ways. Gates should open inward towards your property. At 30-75kg, lift and hang it with two people, check bolts periodically, and keep soil and grass clear of the bottom rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre hinges and a latch included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Hinges, latches and posts are sold separately. Use 450mm (18in) hinges for 3ft to 6ft gates and 600mm (24in) hinges for 8ft to 12ft gates, then add a catch or latch to suit daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I hang it left- or right-hand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The universal, symmetrical design means the same gate hangs either way. You only decide which side takes the hinges when you set out your posts, not when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will the gate last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife expectancy is up to 15 years. The softwood is green pressure treated against rot and decay, but real service life depends on exposure, ground conditions around the posts and how often the gate is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come painted or stained?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It comes in the green\/natural colour of its pressure treatment with a planed finish. Guidance on painting or staining is not published for this line, so check with the coating manufacturer before applying anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering \u0026amp; delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGates are priced per gate as listed for each length, with delivery to UK mainland addresses. At 30-75kg they travel on a pallet or by a two-person or kerbside service, so plan for help moving the gate from the kerb or pallet to the opening. Your lead time is confirmed at checkout or on your order confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Supplies Co","offers":[{"title":"3ft \/ 0.92m","offer_id":63286410969475,"sku":"SSHF-319009-01","price":249.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4ft \/ 1.22m","offer_id":63286411002243,"sku":"SSHF-319009-02","price":282.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6ft \/ 1.83m","offer_id":63286411035011,"sku":"SSHF-319009-03","price":341.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8ft \/ 2.44m","offer_id":63286411067779,"sku":"SSHF-319009-04","price":401.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10ft \/ 3.05m","offer_id":63286411100547,"sku":"SSHF-319009-05","price":447.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12ft \/ 3.66m","offer_id":63286411133315,"sku":"SSHF-319009-06","price":478.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/wooden-5-bar-field-gate-farm-driveway-80d1e55a-946c-4dca-9ebc-46452b55584a.jpg?v=1794529159","url":"https:\/\/industrialsuppliesco.co.uk\/products\/wooden-5-bar-field-gates-green-treated-3ft-to-12ft","provider":"industrialsuppliesco.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
