Cattle Panel Fence Gates

Cattle Panel Gates for Pastures, Paddocks and Yards

Every cattle panel fence needs a way through, and the gate is the part that gets the hardest use. It swings open and shut every day, gets leaned on by stock, and takes the odd knock from a quad or wheelbarrow. These gates are made from the same 6-gauge welded cattle panel as our fence panels, so the grid carries straight through the opening and the whole run looks like one fence.

Livestock Gates Sized for People, Tractors and Trailers

Pick a 4' wide walk gate for getting into pens, chicken runs and gardens on foot, or a 12' wide double swing gate for moving stock, tractors and trailers through a pasture or driveway. Both come in heights from 4' to 8', so the top of the gate lines up with the top of your cattle panel fence.

Assembled and Squared at Our Shop

A homemade cattle panel gate is usually a cut panel wired to a wood frame, and it tends to rack and drag once the wire stretches. These gates arrive assembled and squared, with the welded panel fixed into a rigid frame so it swings clear and latches the same way every time. The 6-gauge wire is hot-dipped and heavy galvanized to keep rust off in mud, manure and wet pasture.

Wood or Steel Cattle Panel Gate Frames

• Pressure-treated lumber: kiln-dried before treatment and pre-finished in a honey-brown tone, the practical choice for working farm gates
• Western Red Cedar: rich natural grain for gates near the house, gardens and cabins
• Full metal frame: an all-steel gate with nothing to rot, the match for the all-steel cattle panel fence kit

Matching the Grid on Your Cattle Panel Fence

Order your gate with your fence panels and we'll build it in the same grid you chose for the run: 4" x 4" for cattle, goats and sheep, 2" x 2" for lambs, kids and poultry, 1" x 1" for rabbits and gardens, or 2" x 6" for a longer, modern look. Buying a gate on its own, or want a different grid? Add it to the order notes. Gates come in the same three finishes as our panels:

• Black: a dark dip-coated finish that fades into the landscape
• Brown: an earthy dip-coated finish for pastures, barns and timber
• Silver: natural galvanized steel for a traditional farm gate look

Hardware and Posts for a Cattle Panel Gate

Hinges, a latch and posts are ordered separately, so you can set each opening up for how it's used. The Universal Black Gate Hardware Kit has black dip-coated hinges, a latch and brackets. Hang the gate between two solid posts set in concrete, since stock pushing on a gate puts more load on its posts than on any fence panel. Use metal fence posts for the firmest hold, or wood fence posts to match a wood-framed fence.
