Choosing Your Newsholme Wooden Garden Gates Suppliers

Newsholme is a small farming hamlet in the upper Ribble Valley, close to Gisburn and Paythorne and not far from the Yorkshire border. Homes here are mostly farmhouses, converted barns and cottages surrounded by grazing land. So almost every garden gate in Newsholme faces fields, livestock or a farm track.

As Newsholme wooden garden gates suppliers, we understand that a gate here is about keeping stock out first and looking smart second.

Stock-Proof Garden Gates

Sheep and lambs will find any gap in a boundary. A full height gate with a closed face stops them pushing through. Our feather edge gate and tongue and groove gate both measure 0.9m x 1.8m. Each one is pressure-treated softwood, built to cope with the wet weather that rolls in off the fells.

Keep the gap under the gate as tight as the ground allows. A lamb can squeeze through a surprisingly small space at the bottom.

Latches That Stay Shut

On a farm, gates get pushed by animals as well as people. The ring gate latch kit includes a pair of 16 inch tee hinges, a 6 inch ring latch and a 6 inch Brenton padbolt. The padbolt adds a second lock, which stops a curious cow nudging the gate open. It is one of the questions we answer most often as Newsholme wooden garden gates suppliers.

For a garden gate used by visitors or holiday guests, the self-closing auto gate catch kit is a sensible extra. See every option in our gate fittings range.

Strong Posts for Heavy Use

A gate is only as good as the post it hangs on. On farms, posts take knocks from tractors, quad bikes and livestock. So a heavier section makes sense. The 100mm x 100mm rough sawn timber post comes in 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m lengths, which allows plenty of timber in the ground.

Set the post in 20kg Postcrete, which needs no mixing and sets in around 10 minutes. Our article on gate posts and why they need more than a fence post explains the details.

Larger Openings and Field Gates

Our garden gates suit pedestrian openings. For wider farm openings and driveways, take a look at our driveway gates and field gates section. If you are unsure which suits your gateway, call us with the measurements. Most of our customers who use us as Newsholme wooden garden gates suppliers choose this option.
