HERITAGE
STYLE COUNTRY GATES
Double
Railway Gates, short drop pins and hand made swing bow.
"Reminiscent
of yesteryear, Farmweld’s heritage style country gates
enhance the entrance of
your property,
no matter whether it's large or small."
Farmweld heritage style country gates and farm gates are constructed
from metal and are made to
withstand the daily
wear and
tear of rural life.
With the exception of the wrought iron gates, each country gate is custom made from first grade galvanised steel
pipe, not
flimsy tubing or aluminium. The steel gate
frames
are made with a strong 25nb (34mm outer diameter) galvanised steel frame and the
time is
taken to
ensure that all our heritage style country gate designs are strong and
safe for you and your animals
with no sharp areas or weak joins. Wrought
iron gates are made using a combination of different flat steel or
square bars and can be comparatively quite heavy. All gates are
made to
withstand the rigours of heavy animals and regular use and are custom
built to
fit
your gateway, no matter what gate width, so all sizes are catered for.
For more infomation about how we construct the gates see below.
The unique heritage style handle featured
on
most of the country and farm gates
is quickly becoming a signature design associated with Farmweld.
Modeled on the old style gates or heritage
gates of the early 20th Century, this feature adds to the aesthetic
appearance and
overall functionality of the gate.
Custom
made ...
Not all
gateways are a standard size. As such Farmweld custom makes
each gate tailoring it to fit any size gateway. For
an
accurate fit measure
the
distance
between the top and bottom of your gate posts and
your gate will be made to the right size. Farmweld can also supply a
set of matching powder
coated steel gate posts.
Customise your heritage style country gate with
extra rails, smaller
gauge weld mesh, a different height or decorative scroll
work. Farmweld
even hand make swing bows
for double
gates in a design which complement the gates.
Farmweld custom makes gates to your design and/or
specifications. Provide a sketch or photo and a computer generated
drawing and quote will be sent to you for your approval.
If you like the look of double gates but prefer
the ease of a single leaf, Farmweld can create a mock double gate for
you.

These
gates were adapted for a customer who wanted a variation on
the 'Diamond' gate design - they added extra rails and opted for one
diamond in each gate. Colour selected is 'Wilderness' to
match their sheds and
roof.
Our Gate
Range
…
Heritage
Style Country Gates
This more
formal range of steel gates is powder coated to any colour
from the
Interpon
range including the Colourbond colours. For more infomartion on the construction of the gates see below.
The ’Maddison’
and ’Kensington’ gates feature scroll work with
100x150mm weld mesh inserts and are
1100mm tall to the top
of the frame. If required, a smaller 50x75mm weld mesh can be
substituted at
extra cost for use with smaller animals or horses. All other gates are approximately 1200mm tall.
The newly released 'Eleanor' is the first of our
wrought iron entrance gates and is made mainly of flat
steel as were many of the earlier blacksmithed heritage gates. This
gate can be left raw and allowed to rust adding to it's aged appearance.

Field
Gates
Farmweld offers three styles of galvanised steel field gates or paddock gates all
of
which are a standard 1200mm
tall
with optional
powder coating. The range consists of a weld mesh gate and two
steel pipe
gate designs which are suitable for larger animals such as horses that
have
a
tendency to lean on gates and/or rub their tails off on the weld mesh.
The
‘horizontal bar’
gate has six rails and the ‘Forest’ gate which has
two bars can be set up to 600mm from the ground, preventing animals
from getting cast. The Forest gate is available in two steel pipe
thicknesses, 25nb (34mm outer diameter) or 32nb (43mm outer diameter).
Weld mesh gates
can be braced with the addition of either one, two or three vertical
braces,
a “Z” or “W” brace. Gates 14'/4.2m and over
have a single vertical brace as standard. Gates can be made to
different heights, e.g. 950mm tall with mesh
for sheep. Other sized meshes are available such as a finer 75 x 50
mesh
for alpacas, yearlings or smaller animals.
Garden Gates & Courtyard
Gates
Farmweld custom
makes garden gates and courtyard gates to match any of the
above heritage gate designs. As above, garden gates can be made to your
specifications
or
we can
design a unique garden gate for you. If you'd like a smaller version of
the larger
heritage style country gates above please note that anything smaller
than
1200mm will look odd with the handle - the smallest we can bend a
handle is 50cm..
When ordering a garden gate remember to allow enough of a gap between
gate posts
to get a
wheelbarrow or ride on mower through comfortably.
In addition to the weld mesh and steel bar
infills shown on this page we can also insert chain mesh (also known as cyclone mesh or link mesh) or heritage
woven
wire. Due to the varying size of garden and courtyard gates prices are
on application. Please nominate the type of infill (e.g. weld mesh,
chain mesh, bars, etc) and gate dimensions.
Wrought Iron
Gates
The 'Florence' pictured above, was the first of our true wrought
iron
garden gates and was followed by the release of the
'Eleanor'. The 'Florence' makes an attractive wall ornament or more
practically a beautiful feature entrance garden gate.These gates are
made of black steel and can be left raw, allowing them to rust before
being sealed, for that authentic heritage look. See introductory special
on 'News' page.
Design Service
We offer a design service and can custom make a unique gate
for you. Designs are drawn up and emailed or posted to you for your
authorisation.
If you have a drawing or photo of something you'd like made up please
send it to us and we'll provide you with a quote.
We have a range of standard wrought iron gate
toppers (as pictured on the courtyard gate above
right), decorative
gate inserts and pressed
metal ornaments
such
as leaves, spears, scrolls, fleurons and flowers which can incorporated
to create a unique wrought iron gate reminiscent of old
world gates or we can fabricate a gate to your
specifications. Click

garden gate and entrance gate
toppers like those below.
Construction
...
As per the description on the products page, we notch all joins and
ensure that any weld mesh gate inserts are safely welded inside the
frame of each
gate. In
addition:
- We pride ourselves on making our field gates
and heritage style country gates strong, well made and
built to last.
- Hinge sockets
are welded on to all powder coated gates to minimise any abrasion on
the
coating. Paddock gates and heritage style country gates are easy to
install on ordinary field gate
gudgeons.
- If you have masonry or steel posts we can make
gudgeons to
suit.
- Steel gate posts can be made to match
your
gates along with decorative gate post caps or tops, e.g. spheres.
- To minimise any rust formation all welds and black steel are
primed prior to being powder coated.
Gate fittings are generally not included so if they are
required please
order these at the same time as your gate. Some items may
need to be welded on prior to powder coating, e.g. drop pins and gate
bows.
What
colours are available?
There are a broad range of colours
available including the Colourbond colours. If you require a colour
chart please phone Interpon Powder Coaters on 1800 630 516 and ask that
they send you one.
