Every farm runs on its gates — and a gate that drags, sticks or will not latch is a daily aggravation. Ben builds it across South Wales and travels for the right job.
Ben supplies and hangs farm gates across entrances, yards and fields — galvanised steel for the everyday workhorse gates, timber where the entrance wants to look the part. Double gates for wide access, single gates for a track or a pedestrian way, and gates built into a stock or post and rail run so the whole thing reads as one job.
The hanging post is where a farm gate is won or lost. A wide gate is a long lever, so the post goes in deep and braced, sized for the weight, so the gate clears the ground through its full swing and latches cleanly for years rather than dropping after a season. Ben fits proper latches, catches and hinges rated for farm use — not the lightweight stuff that rattles loose.
Whether it is replacing a tired old gate that has dropped, hanging a new entrance, or gating a fresh boundary run, the aim is the same: a gate you open and shut a dozen times a day without ever thinking about it.
Yes. Ben can set new hanging and latch posts into an existing stock, post and rail or boundary fence and hang a single or double gate cleanly into the run, tied in so it looks built-in rather than bolted on.
Both — Ben supplies and hangs galvanised steel or timber farm gates in the right width for your access, or hangs a gate you have already bought. Supplying it means he can match the gate to the posts and the job from the start.
A galvanised steel field gate on properly set, braced hanging posts is the strongest practical farm gate — light to swing, hard to bend, and effectively maintenance-free. For very wide entrances, a double gate shares the span so each leaf stays manageable.
