IAE Ashbourne Field Gate

[Steevo]

Looking to replace a pair of gates to an arable field - not bought any for a long time so totally out of touch.

Are IAE Ashbourne gates any good?

McVeigh Parker seem to suggest them as being good strength to weight ratio. Yet another website suggests they are the lightest gate in the IAE range.


Apologies for the double post - I also put this in Agricultural Matters but am conscious some gate gurus may not frequent there very often.

I was under the impression they're the lightest gates they do.

They won't take much abuse but shouldn't fall apart easily either.

I suppose I depends if they're at risk of getting nicked.

They are an opening, stock proof barrier. Fine for a field gate, as long as there is no pressure from stock pushing against it. I use a lot of them because you can hang a 15ft gate on your own, and you don’t need a 12 inch gate post. If there’s going to be stock pushing against it get something heavier.

The Ashbourne has a bit of box with tubes welded in for the hangers so stronger than some alternatives. Quite a good gate.

They are okish gates , I personally would use Ritchie field gates when I can. Same money.

As said if used a a field gate good value and well welded, not a yard gate hence the name

It's an arable field - why do you need a gate? Just throw a chain across and/ or lift a tree stump to stop the hare coarsers.

Not bad at all for the money to be fair. We have a set on a unloading bay they get used several times a day and have coped well.
