Friend made a big cantilever gate using these roller kits, gate frame he made himself http://www.rollingcenter.co.uk/magnumkitoffer2x6m.html They used to sell direct but now trade only, they had the full instructions on their site on how big the concrete base needed to be, roller spacings etc
56ft gap here gated with a pair of 18ft gates and a single 18ft gate, they can all be locked if need be and all can open up to leave 1 56ft opening for artics and harvest gear. Think the gates are IAE from local paxtons iirc they were @ £100 each
How do you open the middle gate to get a 56ft gap, does it swing or do you have to remove it from the brackets? @Bobthebuilder
I have two IAE 18 foots that meet in the middle hung on 4" posts with box jammed in them, no middle post I made my own catch to hold them together they must have been there 15 years no problems so far
Operation keepy gypsy outy yardy begins... with some dodgy stone masonry, and 2 lengths of rail track bolted together.....

I have a railway line gate post in my garden When I moved here my old boss borrowed a few lengths as his farm had a railway and gave me a moving in present
