Gate prices

Mac Taylor

Hi, hoping someone might be able help. Trying to price a bit of work here.

Anyone know the price (ball park) of 10ft and 14ft heavy duty gates?

Also, what height would be best for the hanging posts?
Thanks. Mac

I bought a 9 bar (sheep gate) hevey duty 14ft long for 110 euro in the local farm store

I have recent prices for 12 & 16ft. But that's no good to you.

Get the standard galvanised gate hanger that take the hreaded hanging post. They have a square plate on the bottom and the latest ones have a slotted top 'hole' which makes fitting the gate easier for one man on his own. I suppose the reverse of this is also true though!!

Afella told me he got a gate price for his weanlings in the mart recently. I don't know if that was good or bad they were either dear gates or cheap weanlings or he had a speech impediment. ... oh l'm off to bed.

110 plus vat for yard gates in keady. I'd rather buy of a reasonably legit source. I've yet to meet an honest travelling salesman.

Last year or so a full artic of gates was stolen from Irish pioneer in cork most of them were recovered in a site in Wexford if memory serves me right

Bought sheep gates with the half mesh from buffalo gates. Very good quality and the vat reclaim able so work out cheap and you know the tool she'd is not going to be cleaned out.

Thanks for all the replies (I think;):D:D:D)
Trying to cost up a basic crush for an outfarm, Christ no matter how I look at it, I clocking 4k (net 3.5k after vat reclaim) a lot of money for something I might use 3/4 times a year.

Buy a few crash barriers on done deal. Make up your pen with them. Buy a portable crush for 2 k max.

We built ours for mostly the cost of labour. Gun barrel on one side & rails from an old hayshed. Because it was built into an existing exit we had one gate there already and also only needed slight reinforcement on the hedge side. (Slight reinforcement = battered old gate)

I'm sure you could build it for much cheaper if you don't use gates on all sides! Best stuff we found were old feeding pipes from a piggery, good metal and hollow so they don't weight a tonne.

Have one to do aswell and it's a bit of a nightmare of a job to be facing into. There's a solid slab of rock where I want to put down the pillars for the chute and the headgate. Think I'll have to get someone in with a digger and a breaker to make the holes for them

Muckit

Was it you that made the pen by stacking rocks with a digger? That was class. Only need a gate to get them in and out! :-)

Could you weld on base plates and bolt them into the rock and cover with concrete?

I thought about it but the Slab of rock isint level and I'd imagine it would be hard to get the pillars level afterwards. A fella with a rock breaker for an hour or two would have all the holes made for me.

That's exactly why it was built! Had no place at all except a house to shut them into so something had to be done as one yoke knocked a block wall trying to get back out :pac:
