Our field gate designs have lasted for over two centuries. They are solid and dependable. If their intended use is indeed for field entrances then we recommend a lower cost softwood timber.
If you desire to have a field gate as entry to your countryside residence we recommend oak. Whatever the case, the gate will be hand made in the very same style and with the same care and attention.
