FARM GATES
The Style of a Farm Gate
When you drive up toward someone’s farm (or amble up on a horse) what is the first thing you see? That’s right, the gate that leads to the farm. There are many different types of farm gates. For the traditional farmer who is a cowboy at heart, the most appealing gate can be as simple as a few split rails draped across the road. There is little in the way of construction and if the gate needs repair, it is usually a quick and simple process.
Some farmers opt for something a little more refined and sturdy, like an iron gate. The iron farm gate seems to make a statement that differs from the traditional gates. A dark wrought-iron gate can give one a sense of apprehension or anxiety. This is especially true for those unruly animals that would like nothing more than to escape from their place on the farm.
Another good choice for a farm gate is a lightweight, molded aluminum model. These are easy to handle and many have built-in handles and locks. These are a good choice for those remote places where a gate may be needed, yet where there is no need to impress anyone. Caution should be exercised when using one of these gates, though. Usually, this farm gate is not built to withstand a large amount of pressure or weight. If you are looking for a gate for the kids to swing on, this is not the right choice.
One of the simplest types of farm gates is the ladder style. These are usually incorporated into long stretches of barbed wire fences to facilitate easy movement from one side to the other. While they are not a gate, per se, they do offer the benefits of one in a simpler package. They’re value in undeniable; a shirt that gets torn from a barbed wire fence is very annoying.
