Gate Components
Tube Gauge & Weight
A gate's Gauge is a key driver in terms of durability and performance. The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel, the higher the resilience or strength. If you need a very strong gate that can withstand crowded animals and rough abuse, you should select a Heavy Duty 14 or 16 gauges. If your conditions are less rugged select a lesser gauge, which will be reflected by a higher number.
Weight is also a factor in a gate's resilience. Obviously the heavier a gate the more rugged its durability. However a long gate in a heavy-duty steel can be very unwieldy and harder to install. Before you make your gate selection consider how you will install your gate and whether you will need an installation crew.
Rails & Height:
Designed for a myriad of sites and applications, Behlen Country gates come with a varying number of rails - all appropriately spaced for their specific use. For this reason consider whether you are containing/restraining large or small animals.
A gate's Height is also a relevant factor. If you are dealing with larger animals you will need taller gates. Plus, for horses you may want to consider non climb gates like our wire-filled line.

Finish:
A gate's finish is a critical contributor to your gate's long-term performance. While all Behlen Country gates are manufactured for the long haul some of our gates include a baked on powder coating. Our proprietary process ensures a smooth baked polyester finish that resists chips, rough weather and chemical corrosion. Other gate finishes include galvanized and hot-dipped galvanized.
