Send gate widthField Gates And Cattle Grids
A gate has to close in January, not just on hanging day.
A tidy gate is not a catalogue item. It is the right post in the right ground, enough swing for machinery, a slam that stock cannot nose open and drainage that does not turn the entrance into soup.

Field Gates
Posts, swing, shut line and stock pressure.
The Real Wire hangs timber and galvanised field gates, single leaves, double gateways and kissing gates for permissive paths. New timber hanging posts and slam posts are set to suit the ground and the load, not just the gate width on the invoice.

Cattle Grids
Groundworks first, steel second.
Cattle grids are installed on domestic farm tracks, estate entrances and yard approaches. A proper job includes excavation, a concrete bed, drainage thought through before the pour and reinstatement that does not leave a ridge for trailers.
Typical cattle grid supply and install is £5,800 to £9,400 depending on excavation, concrete, drainage and access. Highways-rated grids are quoted separately after a site visit, and need traffic management and permissions planning before any date is promised.

- LivestockSheep, cattle, horses and public path users all test a gate differently.
- Turning CircleA wide gate in a tight turn can still be a narrow entrance.
- Slope And WaterPosts move when water sits around them. Grid beds need the fall understood.
- Buried ServicesWater pipes, electric and old drains need marking before digging starts.
