Kissing Gate - Medium Access

Kissing Gate - Medium Access

When installing a new gate it is important to consider the different type of user, particularly if it is within a public right of way. Stiles are a traditional way of entering and exiting a field, however these can be difficult for people to pass and impossible for anyone with a push or wheelchair. For full access for the widest variety of user, simply having a gap is often the best solution, however when livestock are involved the Kissing Gate might be the better option.

This form of gate is often seen in a rural setting, but they can be used anywhere that has limited space but has the need to allow access to pedestrians. It is generally used to keep livestock safe, as Kissing Gates never fully open, the gate leaf swings to touch each side of the structure, so it is difficult for animals to escape through.

Kissing Gates are often made from timber and they do look more attractive than the metal counterpart, but for a longer lifespan, this gate from First Fence is manufactured from galvanised steel. The gate is a 5 rail format that is similar to the Farm Gate available from First Fence and is a larger format than the Pedestrian Kissing Gate and as the hooped area is larger it gives great access opportunities.

This has an installed height of xxxx, length in the fenceline of xxx and width across the hoops of xxxxx. It is a dig in format so will need post mix to fix firmly into the ground.

Also available from First Fence as a Pedestrian or Large Access format. If you do not need to consider livestock, then a latch farm gate might be a good choice for you, First Fence has this in a range of widths and also comes in a kit form.
