FARM GATE N STAY GATE 18FT 5.5M SST 122444
A heavy-duty N-Stay farm gate built for livestock containment, property access points, and rural fencing systems. These gates feature an N-shaped diagonal brace for enhanced structural support over longer spans, making them ideal for wide openings like 18 ft (5.5 m). The construction uses galvanised steel pipe framing with welded mesh infill for durability and corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions.

Common Questions
What size is this gate and what's it suitable for?
This is an 18 ft (5.5 m) wide gate, 1170 mm high. It's built for wide openings like farm entrances, paddock access, and rural driveways where you need to get tractors, trucks, trailers, and stock through. The N-Stay diagonal brace keeps it strong and square over that long span, so it won't sag under use.
Will this gate hold up in harsh conditions?
Yes. The frame and N-Stay brace are hot-dip galvanised steel, which means they're zinc-coated inside and out to resist rust and corrosion. It's designed to handle sun, moisture, livestock impact, and frequent use in coastal, tropical, or inland conditions.
What animals can it contain?
The welded mesh infill is designed to restrain livestock and small animals. It's suitable for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and general livestock yards. The mesh has typical openings of about 200 × 100 mm with approximately 5 mm wire diameter, which limits gaps and provides visibility while keeping stock contained.
How heavy is it and what's it made from?
The gate weighs 46.2 kg. It's built from hot-dip galvanised steel pipe framing with a welded mesh infill panel. The N-Stay diagonal brace is also galvanised, and all joints are fully welded for strength and durability.
