Construction and finish
- Solid steel, supplied as a pair

- Electro-galvanised, then powder coated black
- Two drop bolts hold the gates open or closed
- Lugs take a padlock with a long shackle
The galvanising and powder coat add rust resistance, but they are not a 100% rust-proof guarantee. Check the finish now and then and touch up any chips with paint. Paint the nuts and bolts after fitting, and keep touching up the hinges and other moving parts. Made-to-measure sizes are available on this range, so ring us for a quote. Burbage normally supplies made-to-measure metal primed only unless agreed otherwise, which means it needs painting.
What’s included
The gates come with angle brackets, bolts, a tip latch and two drop bolts. Screws and wall plugs are not included.
Posts and fixing
Hang the gates on blank metal posts, 50mm or 70mm square and 1500mm long, sold separately. The 50mm post suits the 7ft and 8ft gaps and the 70mm post for any size up to 12ft. The post or brickwork must be strong enough to carry the gate. Blank posts need drilling on site to take the brackets, and you position the brackets to suit. Ask us if the ground slopes.
