Description
The Abbey short bow top is a black steel garden gate with a gentle curved top, for people who want a little more height than a flat top without closing the front off. The frame is 812mm (32in) tall before the bow begins.
Sizes: bow top metal garden gate for a 3ft gap
Two sizes are available. Choose by the gap between your posts; the hinge and latch gaps are already allowed for.
- 914mm (3ft) gap: 1340mm (52.8in) overall height
- 991mm (3ft 3in) gap: 1378mm (54.3in) overall height
- Frame 812mm high before the bow starts
- Hangs from either side
- Burbage offer limited made to measure on this range because the pattern is a fixed size. Call for a quote.
Construction and finish
Solid steel with 25mm x 8mm frames, 10mm round infill bars and 6mm pattern bars. The hinges are adjustable i-bolt type rather than the fixed hinges shown in the photos.
The finish is electro-galvanised for added rust resistance, then powder coated black. That is not a rust-proof guarantee. Look it over now and then, touch up any chips, and expect to repaint every couple of years. Moving parts need touching up more often.
What’s included
- Hinges and fixing brackets
- Bolts
- Tip latch and catch
Screws and wall plugs are not included. Paint the nuts and bolts after fitting to stop them rusting.
Posts and fixing
Suitable posts: blank 50mm square metal posts for this gate, with ball or flat tops. They need drilling on site for the hinge and latch brackets, so we can advise on the right length for your ground. Burbage point out that the gate is heavy, so check the post or brickwork is strong enough to carry it. Blank metal posts need drilling on site for the hinge and latch brackets.
