New field gate i seen today

lakill Farm

Got caught short today while out driving today and well pulled over in a quiet gateway
The gate seemed to have been installed as part of a road alignment or upgrade.

Anyway. The top of gate hinge had like a bolt in it that seems to have been a one use only idea. So this bold in it couldn't be removed. I say the hindge was 1 inch diameter. And the bolt thing maybe 8/10mm. It meant the gate couldn't be removed from the post it was on.

Any idea who makes these gates.

More like you needed a new gate. You went hunting for one along your usual road but got thwarted.

Bring the cordless grinder next time

These bolts are used predominantly in palisade security fencing to secure the up rights to the cross members. The nut of bolt shears off when tightened. As said above the advent of the cordless grinder has limited there effectiveness. If you wish to source some your local frs service will have them in stock.

Any idea who manufactures them ?

Is this the kind of shearing bolts you are talking about?

You can get two types:
* Headless bolts - useful for timber-timber connections.
* Shear bolts - useful for multiple materials.
