Farm Gates — Buying Guide
Choosing the Right Farm Gate
Farm gates need to withstand the demands of daily agricultural use — livestock pressure, vehicle access, weather extremes and frequent opening and closing. Selecting the right gate for each application ensures reliable long-term performance with minimal maintenance. Key factors to consider are gate width, height, frame strength, hinge and latch hardware quality, and how the gate will be mounted to your existing fence posts.
Types of Farm Gates
- Tubular steel farm gates — the most popular choice for paddock and driveway gates; available in various widths (2.4m to 6m+) and heights; strong, galvanised and designed for livestock environments
- Cyclone mesh farm gates — tubular frame gates with chain wire or mesh infill; provide finer containment for smaller livestock and provide greater visual transparency
- Timber farm gates — traditional bush timber gates for heritage and aesthetic applications; require more maintenance than steel but suit some rural property styles
- Double gates — two-leaf gates for wide driveway and machinery access; available in matched pairs for openings from 6m to 10m+
Gate Width Selection
Gate width selection depends on the type of access required. For standard stock and vehicle access, a 3.0m–3.6m single gate is typical. For machinery access (tractors, harvesters and implements), 4.2m–6.0m is commonly used. For double-gate driveway entries, matched pairs of 3.0m gates provide 6.0m total clear opening. For small livestock-only gates, 2.4m is adequate.
Gate Posts and Hardware
Farm gate posts must be substantial — a gate post carries significant leverage and must be anchored securely. Use 100mm round or 75mm x 75mm RHS steel posts set in concrete 600–900mm deep for steel farm gates. Match the gate hinges to the gate weight — heavy steel gates need robust, oversized hinges. Always include a ground anchor bolt for wide or heavy gates to prevent sagging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What width gate do I need for a tractor?
Most agricultural tractors require a minimum of 3.0m clear opening for comfortable access. For tractors with wide implements or side-mounted equipment, allow 3.6m–4.5m to ensure safe clearance.
How do I prevent my farm gate from sagging?
Use correctly sized hinges for the gate weight, set the gate post in adequate concrete footings, and fit an anti-sag brace bar diagonally across the gate frame from the hinge side bottom to the latch side top.
Are galvanised gates better than painted gates?
Yes — galvanised gates provide far superior rust resistance in outdoor and farm environments compared to painted gates. The zinc coating protects all surfaces including cuts and welds.
