The Evington 5 Bar Field Gates are made in the UK from smooth planed Scandinavian Redwood that has been pressure treated to protect against rot, mould and blue stain fungi for a long, low maintenance life. The Evington is available in sizes from 90cm to 360cm giving you the option to use as a single pedestrian gate, a single driveway gate, or using two gates together with a throw-over latch, you can create a barrier across a wide entrance designed for larger vehicles. The side frames are 120mm (47¼”) tall. The top horizontal rail sits 13cm below the top of the frame and the bottom rails sits 7cm up from the bottom of the frame, with the remaining three centre rails evenly spaced. Diagonal bracing bars add strength and give it the classic field gate appearance.

It is recommended that wooden gate posts are used when installing these gates. Optional smooth sawn pressure treated 15cm x 15cm square posts are available.

The Evington Field Gate is available in the following sizes:

There are two methods of installing the Evington Field Gate, either between or behind posts.

Installing Between Posts

With this method of installation, the gate hinges are attached to the inside face of the post, allowing the gates to open in either direction. If using our timber fittings pack, the hinges and latches will require the following gap between the gate and the posts:

Single gate: 19cm to allow for the fittings

Double gate: 21.2cm to allow for the fittings

Installing Behind Posts

With this method of installation, the gate hinges are attached to the back (or front) face of the post, allowing the gates to open in one direction. If using our timber fittings pack, the hinges and latches will require the following gap between the gate and the posts:

Single gate: 5cm to allow for the fittings

Double gate: 6.3cm to allow for the fittings

Information about your gate

Fittings. The Evington gates are not supplied with any fittings; however optional fittings packs are available which includes the correct size hinges for this weight of gate. The long strap hinge should be fitted to the top rail and the short hinge to the side frame towards the bottom of the gate. The fittings we have available are galvanised to prevent rust.

Wooden Posts. Posts should be buried up to 60cm deep and held in place with concrete.

Finish. The Evington gates are supplied pressure treated which leaves the wood with a temporary green tint. If left to weather, the wood will fade to a silvery grey colour; however you can change the colour straight away by staining the wood using Protek Timber Eco Shield, or it can be painted after it has been allowed to weather for at least 3 months using a product compatible for use with pressure treated timber.
