A well‑constructed set of farm gates makes managing livestock and property easier and safer. At International Pipe, our farm gates combine durable steel pipe and thoughtful design for long-lasting use.
Whether replacing an old gate or planning a new installation, consider these factors:
- Gate height, width, and hinge type appropriate for animal traffic or machinery access
- Pipe size and wall thickness to resist bending and sagging
- Material coating to reduce corrosion, galvanized or painted steel
Benefits of pipe-based farm gates:
- Stronger than wood or basic wire gates
- Resistant to livestock damage and weather
- Lower maintenance, simple to repair or adjust
Choosing pipe materials:
- 2″ to 4″ Schedule 40 or 80 steel piping is common for gate frames
- Galvanized pipe offers rust resistance in humid or muddy conditions
- Black steel may be used under a canopy or indoors, where corrosion risk is low
Install hinges and braces in line with your pipe specs to avoid sagging. Include bracing and proper welding or bolted connections.
Gate types to consider:
- Sliding gates for wide entrances
- Swing‑open gates with reinforced pipe frames
- Double‑leaf gates for larger openings
Whether you’re stocking ducks, cattle, or equipment, choosing quality farm gates significantly improves safety and usability. International Pipe makes it easy to find gate pipe, accessories, and build instructions in one place.
