    • SELECT GATE SIZE

      Actual gate width for both sides added together.

      TO CALCULATE GATE WIDTH:

      Take three horizontal measurements between existing posts or pillars.

      Reduce lowest measurement by 40mm (1 1/2").  Find the closest size on the drop down list and select the next size lower. 

      *WIDTH

      Actual gate width for both sides added together. For example, if you selected a width from the drop down of 10ft (3m 048mm), you would receive 2 x gates at 5ft wide (1m 524mm).

      *HEIGHT

      Taken to the highest point of the gate. We recommend leaving a gap of 25mm (1") clearance between the bottom edge of the gate and ground level.

      METAL POSTS

      Due to the weight of the gates, we only recommend fitting below ground posts. Pyramid capped with fitted gate hanging pins attached to posts.

      Free with Gate

      Both handle and adjustable hinges included free of charge with each gate.

      ADDING AUTOMATION NOW OR IN THE FUTURE?

      Extra support for the gate is needed if planning on automating your gates. This is due to the force of the automation to the gate. Standard rails (over time) will fail. Add either a strengthened middle rail if attaching automation arms to middle of the gate (also know as above ground automation), or bottom middle rail if using underground automation.

      AUTOMATION KITS

      Supplied to us by BFT, one of the most reliable automation manufacturers out there. All kits come complete with a 2 year manufacturers guarantee.

    How to Measure

    Measuring for your new gate is actually a very simple process.

    If existing posts/ pillars are in place, take three horizontal measurements. Top, middle and bottom as shown below.

    Make a note of the SMALLEST width.

    ** If you are replacing the posts, take a measurement of the whole opening width and reduce size by the width of the posts. For example: Opening width of 3m 460mm minus 2x posts (at 100mm wide each) = 3m 260mm.

    Next, decide how the gate will hang and reduce width accordingly. The is by far the most popular option. Gate hinges are mounted to the rear of post. A gap of 15mm between edge of gap and post (each side) and a centre gap of 10mm for opening/ closing.
