Extendable gates

DJ98

Anyone know of any stockists of the extendable dividing gates you see alot of advertised on donedeal by unnamed gate sellers. Any merchant I've enquired from doesn't stock them. Im sure the ones on donedeal are fine but if at all possible I like to avoid these type of dealings.

Bought 4 of them from Condon engineering this year. Bought through Clonroche agri build, Wally Creane was sound as a pound to deal with. Can't remember price as they were part of an overall farm fit out. I'll look it up. I know Tirlan farm life stores also stock Condon gear.

Edited to say €325 for an 18'-21' extender.

Dunedin

can vouch well for the Condon ones.

Had they to be ordered or had he them in stock?

I have E Mitchell extendable gates, Condons and Teemore do them too I think

ABlur

Liffey Mills in Ennis and John O Donnell Hardware stock the Condon ones in Co. Clare

teemore do them ive a couple here

limo_100

gibneys also do some aswell and any merchant that’s stocks ordinary gibney gates will be able to order them in for you. Out of interest to lads that may have both which would you consider the better Teemore or Condron?

[Deleted User]

i dont have any condons stuff but the teemore metal is very strong

its probably much of a muchness between them

In stock and I saw a few in stock in Tirlan on Ballycanew as well last week

Have no Teemore stuff but the Condons is good strong stuff. The key to longevity with gates is have them hanging properly and not sitting in scutter to rot them. Any of the bigger manufacturers will last if that's done.

I've a few condons extendable gates that I got from Coyles in Athlone. Their the local agent for them. Very good strong gates

that’s where I got mine. And he’s a decent man to deal with

Is it possible to get these gates extending from 12 to 15ft anywhere? Ive tried tirlan this morning and they only do the longer 18ft plus versions.

Grueller

13-15 is definitely possible not sure of 12-15. Not sure which part of the country you are in but if in the SE Clonroche agri build would sort you Id say

_Brian

do they stay extendable in the long term. Would love on in our holding yard behind the crush.

Another one for Fergal Coyle I've Teamore and Jordain extendable gates from there and couldn't be happier with them.

The Condon ones here have for 5+ years anyhow. Can't say longer than that.

Sacrolyte

o donnells do them too

If you make an extendable gate, is it better to have the main gate box section and the extending part pipe to reduce the contact area between each section?

If you're making it yourself, just make a fixed gate to size.

In this instance, I want it to close over two openings so this one needs to be extendable. Can't just use the longer length either.

Grueller

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124117949#Comment_124117949

On the Condons here both sections are pipe but there is a big difference in the size. Could be 2½" on the fixed and 2" on the sliding so the two pipes only contact at 6 o'clock if you know what I mean.

That's what I was hoping with pipe inside box.

Does anything stop the extending part from being fully pulled out?

Grueller

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124118367#Comment_124118367

Again there are bolts that you tighten to fix the length. I have a lot of mine fixed as they don't need to extend just solid gates didn't fit the openings iykwim. On the one that needs to extend I bored holes at intervals in the sliding section and one hole in the fixed section. I then use one of the pins in the picture below to lock it at the correct length.

Hope that helps

funkey_monkey

@Grueller Aligns with my thoughts and plans. I seen some required a bolt to be tightened, but the day you need it is the day you've no spanner, so I was going with those pins too.

We’ve an extendable box gate in the calving pen, it can come out the whole way. Once you get an idea of max length you don’t go past. Maybe some permanent mark at close to max length as a safety?

There are small bolts on each gate bar for tightening into the insert

I just drilled mine in a few places and tec screwed on a pin and chain so that it won’t get lost.

+1 for Wally

Everything in the yard from condons we’ve gotten off him. He’s selling down as far as cork into o Donovan country

There’s another local supplier of condons that would have 10% extra added onto there prices for condons. Worth while proving different places

SuperTortoise

FRS in Boyle supply them, I got several 2 years ago, different lengths as well.
