Chaparral Series Pasture / Farm Gates

Chaparral Gates are constructed from 1.9 high tensile 16 gauge tubing with 50,000 P.S.I. yield strength. In keeping with the quality that WW demands from all its products, the Chaparral Series has that extra toughness that insures dependability when working cattle.

Pasture / Farm Gates

Farm gates come in many different widths. Smaller gates start at 8′ wide. Widths jump in two foot increments up to 16′ wide. Wider gates require more support from gate posts. As a result, putting extra stress on under sized gate posts. And ultimately failing over time. Wider gates also require more room to swing open for access and are more cumbersome to open and close. A double gate is just two single gate leafs that meet in the middle. Often times with field type gates, the gates even overlap slightly. Therefore, providing a more secure connecting point. A double gate covers large spans and openings providing more access. Are easier to open and close when compared to one single wide gate and are much easier on the supporting hinge posts.

Gate Hinges 

Gates come with a screw in type hinges with the female eye hinge welded onto one side of the gate. Lag style are perfect for wooden gate posts. J-bolt hinges with threaded shafts are commonly used for wooden fence post and metal posts. Requiring a hold drilled all the way through the post. A nut on each side of the posts thread tightly to secure the hinge into place.
