The Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate is a traditional timber gate designed to provide a strong, practical and attractive entrance solution for fields, paddocks, farms, driveways, gardens, parks and rural properties. Manufactured in the UK from sustainably sourced softwood, each gate is green pressure treated to help protect the timber against rot and decay, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments. Its classic five-bar construction gives it a traditional countryside appearance while providing the strength required for regular access and livestock control.
The gate features substantial timber end stiles and strong diagonal bracing, helping improve rigidity and transfer the gate load back towards the hinge post. This design helps maintain alignment and reduce the risk of sagging, particularly on wider gate openings. The universal hanging design allows the Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate to be fitted for either left- or right-hand operation, giving greater flexibility when planning an entrance. The planed timber finish provides a neat appearance, while galvanised bolts and fixings offer improved resistance to corrosion.
Available in six widths from 0.9m (3ft) to 3.65m (12ft), with every gate measuring 1.2m (4ft) high, the Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate offers a versatile choice for different access requirements. The green pressure-treated softwood has an expected service life of up to 15 years, subject to correct installation, maintenance and environmental conditions. Suitable for agricultural fields, livestock areas, farm entrances, rural driveways and domestic garden projects, the gate can be installed with suitable timber or concrete gate posts, hinges, catches and optional gate wheels.
The Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate is suitable for a wide range of agricultural, rural and domestic applications, including:
All Ascot 5 Bar Field Gates are 1.2m (4ft) high and are available in the following widths:
| Metric Size | Imperial Size | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 0.9m x 1.2m | 3ft x 4ft | Green treated |
| 1.2m x 1.2m | 4ft x 4ft | Green treated |
| 1.83m x 1.2m | 6ft x 4ft | Green treated |
| 2.4m x 1.2m | 8ft x 4ft | Green treated |
| 3.05m x 1.2m | 10ft x 4ft | Green treated |

The range provides options for smaller pedestrian or garden entrances through to wider agricultural and field access points.
The Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate uses a traditional five-bar timber construction with two substantial end stiles providing strength around the hinge and closing points. The symmetrical design gives the gate its universal hanging arrangement, allowing it to be installed for either left- or right-hand operation.
Diagonal bracing helps transfer the gate load towards the hinge post, improving rigidity and helping reduce the likelihood of sagging during regular use. This makes the construction particularly useful for wider gates where maintaining reliable alignment is important.
The planed softwood finish provides a smoother appearance than rough-sawn timber, making the gate suitable for both functional agricultural installations and more visible domestic or rural entrances.
The Ascot 5 Bar Field Gate is supplied as a gate and should be installed using suitable gate hardware and adequately sized supporting posts for the selected gate width and application.
Depending on the installation, suitable accessories may include:
The gate's universal construction allows the hanging direction to be selected during installation. Wider gates should be supported with appropriately sized posts and suitable hardware to accommodate the gate weight and regular use.
