The Field Entrance Gate is designed to provide reliable access to large outdoor spaces like farms, pastures, or fields while ensuring security and ease of use. Built for durability, it withstands tough outdoor conditions, making it a staple for agricultural and rural properties.
Key Features:
-
Material: Typically constructed from galvanized steel or treated wood for enhanced longevity. The galvanized steel version offers excellent rust resistance, while treated wood options provide a more rustic, traditional look.
-
Structure: The gate has a simple, robust design, often consisting of horizontal bars (sometimes with additional diagonal bracing) that form an open framework. This provides visibility into the field while maintaining strength and preventing livestock or unauthorized vehicles from passing through.
-
Width Options: Field entrance gates usually come in a range of widths, from around 3 meters (10 feet) for smaller entrances, up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) or more for larger access points.
-
Latching Mechanism: A heavy-duty latch or locking system ensures the gate remains securely closed when not in use. Many field gates also come with the option to add a padlock or chain for added security.
-
Swing or Sliding Design: The gate is most commonly available as a swinging gate, allowing it to open fully to either side. Some models may also be available as sliding gates for ease of use in tighter spaces.
-
Optional Accessories: Some field gates can be fitted with wheels for easier opening on uneven ground, or with additional mesh panels to prevent smaller animals from passing through.
Common Uses:
-
Agricultural properties: Provides access to fields while keeping livestock secure.
-
Rural driveways: A cost-effective solution for rural homes needing a basic entrance gate.
-
Pastures: Offers controlled access to grazing areas, keeping animals safe.
