Description
The tall Balmoral gate is a spear top side gate, 1905mm (75in) high, built on heavy 40mm x 10mm frames with decorative rings. It is aimed at side passages where you want a gate well above head height.
Sizes: tall metal side gate for a 3ft gap
Choose by the gap between posts. Hinge and latch gaps are already allowed for. The side frame is 1778mm high before the finials.
- 914mm (3ft) gap
- 1067mm (3ft 6in) gap
- Height to the finials 1905mm (75in)
- Side frame 1778mm high
- Hinges left, latch right, viewed from outside. Ask if you need the reverse
- Limited made to measure, because the rings are a fixed size. Call for a quote.
Construction and finish
Solid steel with 40mm x 10mm frames and 16mm round solid infill bars. Finials are black, not as pictured. Adjustable hinges allow levelling.
Choose your finish: primed and painted, or electro-galvanised and powder coated
Both options are black, but they are not the same product, so check which one you are ordering.
- Primed and painted black: the lower-priced option. The steel is primed and painted only. It is not galvanised or powder coated. It needs a good rust-inhibiting top coat after fitting, and more upkeep over the years.
- Electro-galvanised and powder coated black: the dearer option. The steel is electro-galvanised for added rust resistance, then powder coated. It needs less upkeep.
Neither finish is rust-proof. On the galvanised and powder coated version, check it now and then, touch up any chips with paint and expect to repaint every couple of years. Moving parts need touching up more often.
What’s included
- Hinge angle brackets and bolts
- Latch
Screws and wall plugs are not included. Paint the nuts and bolts after fitting to stop them rusting.
Posts and fixing
Suitable posts: 70mm square concrete-in posts, 2400mm long, with the hinge or latch pre-welded. The gate posts we sell include hinge posts with the hinge pins welded on and latch posts with the catch welded on, usually made to order. Ask us which suits your gate.
If you are hanging on metal posts, the hinges should be welded to the post. Check the posts or brickwork can carry the weight.
Balmoral is usually made to order. Ring us for the current lead time.
