How to hang a farm gate in Australia?
To hang a farm gate, follow these steps:
- Set the posts: Install sturdy gate posts at the correct width apart, ensuring they’re deep enough for stability (at least 900mm deep).
- Attach hinges: Secure the hinge hardware to the post and gate, ensuring they align properly.
- Position the gate: Hang the gate on the hinges, checking for level and ensuring smooth movement.
- Secure the latch: Attach the latch to the post and gate for secure closure. Use galvanised hardware to withstand Australia’s climate and prevent rust.
What sizes do farm gates come in?
Farm gates typically range in widths from 1.2 metres to 4.8 metres, with common sizes being 3.6 metres and 4.2 metres. Heights generally range from 900mm to 1.5 metres, depending on the intended use, such as for livestock or property access. Custom sizes are also available to suit specific requirements.
How deep should a farm gate post be?
Farm gate posts should be set at least 900mm deep in the ground to ensure stability. In areas with loose soil or high livestock pressure, posts may need to be buried deeper, such as 1.2 metres, and secured with concrete for added strength and durability.
