More Information on IAE Ashbourne Galvanised Gates

In this short article, we are going to talk you through the benefits and specifications on Galvanised field gates, specifically IAE Ashbourne (boxed) gates.

What is the purpose of a field gate?

Field gates are mainly used to keep animals in and out of a certain area with the ability to be able to drive vehicles and machinery through the desired areas. They also provide the added benefit of ensuring security for properties.

Why choose a galvanised field gate?

A galvanised field gate is a type of metal gate that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion and rust. A galvanised gate can have many advantages:

  • It is more durable and resistant to weather and wear then a wooden gate.
  • A metal gate requires little maintenance and has a long life.
  • It is stronger and sturdier than a wooden gate, providing enhanced security.
  • Galvanised gates often work out cheaper than wooden gates.

However, a galvanised gate also has disadvantages:

  • Due to its weight, a more solid structure is required to support it.
  • As the raw materials used are non-renewable and biodegradable, it is less environmentally friendly.
