At Southern Timber we stock and supply a wide range of sizes of field gates and driveway gates. We offer either a heavy-duty sawn finish or a standard diamond brace if you are after a more stylish, smooth finish.

We stock sizes from 0.9m (3ft) right up to 3.6m (12ft).

Below is a guide for the sizes of gate posts and gate hinges you will require for different size gates.

 

Gate Length

Post Size

0.9m (3ft) – 1.2m (4ft)

125 x 125mm (5”x 5”)

1.5m (5ft) – 2.1m (7ft)

150 x 150mm (6”x 6”)

2.4m (8ft) – 3.0m (10ft)

175 x 175mm (7”x 7”)

3.3m (11ft) – 3.6m (12ft)

200 x 200mm (8”x 8”)

 

To fix the posts they will need to be concreted in. A minimum of 600mm (2ft) into the ground. We would recommend Postcrete (2 bags per hole) for gates up to 2.4m (8ft) and 3 bags for larger gates.

 

 

Gate Length

Hinge Size

0.9m (3ft) – 1.2m (4ft)

300mm Adjustable Double Band Hanging Set

450mm Adjustable Double Band Hanging Set

2.1m (7ft) – 3.6m (12ft)

600mm Adjustable Double Band Hanging Set

 

We would recommend using a double band hinge as they are stronger and offer more support for the gate.

For driveway gates please see the Gatemate range.
