Description
Need a tall black metal side gate? The Abbey tall bow top stands about 1950mm (76.8in) high, so it closes off a side passage to well above head height while keeping a modern, patterned look.
Sizes: tall metal side gate for a 3ft gap
Two sizes are available. Match the size to the gap between your posts; the hinge and latch gaps are allowed for already.
- 914mm (3ft) gap: 1950mm (76.8in) overall height
- 991mm (3ft 3in) gap: 1988mm (78.3in) overall height
- Frame 1422mm high before the bow begins
- 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
- Fixing brackets and hinges
- 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
A gate this tall needs proper posts. Suitable posts: blank 50mm or 70mm square concrete-in posts, 2350mm long, with flat or ball tops. They need drilling on site for the hinge and latch. 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.
