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."

Are you looking to buy a heritage style farm gate which will blend with the style of your home? Look no further, Choose from the widest range of heritage style country gates in Australia, made to order in any size or colour you want. The range includes cottage garden gates and entrance gates hand made in our Adelaide Hills workshop from quality materials. Your metal gate is built strong to withstand the daily wear and tear of rural life. With the exception of wrought iron gates, Farmweld country gates are custom made from galvanised steel pipe, not flimsy metal tubing or aluminium. The metal gate frames are made with a strong 25nb (34mm outer diameter) galvanised steel frame with a minimum wall thickness of 2mm and the time is taken to ensure that all our heritage style country gates are strong and safe for you and your animals with no sharp protrusions or weak joins.

Wrought iron gates are made using a combination of  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.

The unique heritage style gate handle featured on most of the Farmweld country and farm gates is a signature design associated with Farmweld so don't be fooled by copies. Based on the old style gates or heritage gates of the early 20th Century, the handle is not only attractive but practical as well.

Pipe Gates The Railway gate and Diamond gate are made from galvanised steel pipe. They are are 1200mm tall to the top rail. These gates are more practical around stock due to their overall strength and design being more suitable around animals.

The following gate designs are available in all sizes: Maddison (pictured below) Kensington (pictured below) Vanessa (pictured under 'Garden Gates') Raphael; and Marie (pictured under 'Garden Gates') .

Wrought Iron Country Gates The 'Eleanor' was the first of our wrought iron entrance gates and is made mainly of flat steel as were many of the earlier blacksmithed heritage farm gates of the mid to late 1800's. The 'Estate' gate is the latest design to join our stable of wrought iron gates and it's design is influenced by the old style English estate gates. These gates can be left raw and allowed to rust giving an aged appearance or be powder coated. These styles particularly suit Federation and Victorian era homes and cottages.

Cast Jointed Gates These gates are replicas of the old Simpson gates (made in South Australia) or Sunshine McKay Gates (made in Victoria) that were made around the turn of the last century. The ornamental circular centre disc is the closest to the Sunshine McKay gates but both mouldings are probably from the Simpson gates. Gates are welded using a special welding technique that bonds mild steel to cast iron. Knuckles can be decorative or plain, and there are two centres available: bow; (pictured in gate below) or round disc with ornamental detail (pictured left). The cast jointed gates are quite heavy in comparison to the other Farmweld metal pipe gates as the joints are solid cast iron and the rails are made from much heavier pipe. Cast jointed gates are available in sizes from 1.2m / 4' through to a maximum of 3.6m / 12'. 1200mm / 4' Cast Jointed Gate, with ornamental castings

Field Gates 

Farmweld offers three styles of galvanised steel field gates or paddock gates. Gates are a standard 1200mm tall with optional powder coating. The range consists of:

a standard Mesh Field Gate; field gates can be braced with one, two or three vertical braces, a “Z” or “W” brace. A single vertical brace is standard on gates 14'/4.2m and over. Gates can be made to different heights, e.g. 950mm tall with mesh for sheep. A finer 75 x 50 mesh can be inserted for alpacas, horses or smaller animals.	A six bar steel pipe gate that is best suited for larger animals such as horses that have a tendency to lean on gates and/or rub their tails off on the weld mesh; and
Forest Gate The ‘Forest’ gate which has two bars. This gate is set 600mm above the ground, and is the safest horse gate as it's not easy for horses to get cast under it. The 'Forest' gate is available in two steel pipe sizes: 25nb (34mm outer diameter); or 32nb (43mm outer diameter).

• If you have masonry or steel posts we can make gudgeons to suit.
