Are you a Fram Farmers member? They have a basic fixed percentage off the prices in the IAE brochure which gives a good starting point for small orders. Better terms if it's a big order.
Im in the other lot, but the problem is 7 weeks to get a few gates and barriers, IAE, allowing for the holidays too its nearly going to be turnout time by the time the shed is fitted out it doesnt help that I have faffed about two weeks looking for prices but I thought there would be some smaller manufacturers on here that could have melted a few bits together over the next week or two...

Not sure what you were after but have you tried Mcveigh Parker or Norfolk Liquid Feeds or Clarkes of Walsham or Countryside Supplies, Harleston? They will all quote you for IAE. As you say its a wait for some bits like sheeted gates which took us 6 weeks, but if IAE have it in stock its delivered quick via the above.

Was sheeted gates and barriers with troughs I was after, I asked AF for quickest times rather than price so assumed they rang round but then again it is AF, think I might give mcveigh parker a try tomorrow they got me something specialist quickly before, had a quote off one of the others mentioned but they held little stock. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
We don't carry sheeted gates and feed barriers with troughs in stock generally, whilst there are some sizes of feed barrier we do have available to get people sorted in a pinch, they don't suit all situations. The heavy duty yard gates we do have one or two sizes of in stock as well, the 1270mm high 5 Rail gates with a built in slide bolt, those ones.

Generally the 10' 12' and 15' we will make now and again. Not in all the sizes you listed there though, sorry Roscoe.

We are currently on third week of January for delivery of made to measure gates and feed barriers as someone has already said, with the Christmas shutdown taken into consideration. It's simply that the order books are full unfortunately.

I think all of the dealers mentioned here will indeed be able to quote prices for you as already suggested. If anyone wants a guide on the price we're always available on the phone on 01782 339320 where we can happily talk you through the many options available to get you some of our equipment.

I'd quote but it's not a commodity item via Plowman Brothers. They'd be heavier than anything mainstream and made to suit your requirements
Custom built is the way to go, ask a local farmer with a welder and be prepared to chop the steel for him, will save some money and get what you want and be heavy duty
