Description
Our Equirail® Horse & Livestock Gates combine substantial steel construction, small 50 × 50 mm mesh openings and a hot-dip galvanised finish—ideal for paddocks, field entrances and livestock pens.
Heavy-Duty Hot-Dip Galvanised Horse & Livestock Gates
Substantial construction, small mesh openings and a durable galvanised finish—built for demanding equestrian and agricultural use.
Our heavy-duty mesh gates are a practical choice for paddock entrances, fields and livestock pens. With substantial steel rails and closely spaced welded mesh, they combine strength with features designed to help reduce the risk of animals getting their feet or legs caught.
Substantial 55 kg construction
At 55 kg for the specified model, these are substantial gates. Compared with a standard farm gate weighing 37 kg, that is 18 kg heavier—approximately 49% more weight.
The 60 × 30 mm top and bottom rails have a 2 mm steel wall, supported by internal vertical tubes and 4 mm welded mesh wire. Together, these form a robust gate for everyday use around horses and livestock.
Small mesh openings for horse safety
The 50 × 50 mm mesh openings help reduce the risk of horses and foals putting their hooves through the gate, compared with gates with larger openings. The mesh also provides a useful barrier for livestock pens and field entrances.
A chain fastening secures the closing end, with hinges at the opposite end.
Hot-dip galvanised for outdoor use
Hot-dip galvanising involves immersing the steel in molten zinc to form a protective coating bonded to the steel, helping protect it against rust and weathering.
“Galvanised” is a general description that can cover different coating methods. Specifying hot-dip galvanised makes the process clear; it should not be confused with zinc-rich paint or a lighter electroplated zinc finish.
Our gates have a specified zinc coating weight of 500 g/m².
