Forester 5 Bar Gate Universal

This Forester 5 bar gate is a value, traditional gate with a universal design which allows it to be hung from either end. This gate is ideal for use as a field gate or farm side gate, but can also be used as an economical entrance gate for your property.

It benefits from a domed top bar, mortice and tenon joints, a planed finish and stainless steel fixings. Made in Britain, the gate is manufactured using sustainable slow grown softwood which is pressure treated green.

The gate comes to 3′ 7″ (1.09m) in height to the top of the top rail, or 4′ (1.129m) to the top of the stile. The stiles are 100mm wide by 75mm deep and the gate is not suitable for automation.
