- Safety and user-friendliness
Tropical hardwood and pine softwood are both good choices for a wooden fence. But a pasture gate has higher requirements for quality. Those who opt for safety and user-friendliness, will want tropical hardwood of sustainability class 1.
Robust fittings are also essential. Ensure that the hinges and ironwork are thick enough to not to bend or break, even under stress. We always recommend galvanised parts that are at least half a centimetre thick.
- Typical English appearance
Traditional pasture gates are a safe choice to close off your horse pasture, but you do not have to be a horse owner to opt for rural beauty. Some people select an authentic pasture gate purely for aesthetic reasons and many landscape designers integrate a pasture gate as a decorative or functional element for an exclusive appearance.
When you make your selection, also take into account the warranty that you receive on the delivered gate. At De Sutter Naturally we are so confident in our work that we give a 30-year warranty on each of our gates. This way, you make a sustainable investment that you will enjoy for many years.
