Broken wooden farm gates

As every farmer knows wooden gate posts ultimately rot through at ground level and break. This problem is much worse on gate posts because of large loads on the post from the hanging gate especially with heavier wooden farm gates .  Any weakness in the post and they bend over or worse still break off leaving you with unusable timber farm gates or worse still  broken wooden farm gates.

And as anyone who has had to change a gate post and farm gate knows this is a difficult and time consuming job. Removing the rotten large gate post which is normally concreted in place is heavy and difficult work. And replacement gate posts are expensive and require careful installation along with time consuming re-hanging of the gate be it a steel gate or a wooden farm gate.

Saving you cost and hassle

Most contractors charge anything from £100 to £200 to replace a gate post. Add in changes in wood preservative legislation and this problem is not set to get any better.
