Swing Gate Frames & Galvanised Steel Farm Gates
Richmond supplies a range of swing gate frames, hot-dip galvanised steel farm gates and heavy duty swing gates for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural entrances. Available in sizes from 4ft to 16ft, these steel gate frames provide a practical solution for property access, rural fencing, driveways and suitable manual or automated swing gate installations.
Our range includes mesh farm gates, I-stay gate frames and N-brace swing gates designed for regular outdoor use. Manufactured from galvanised steel, these gates provide corrosion resistance and structural support for applications ranging from smaller property entrances to wider farm and machinery access points.
Richmond swing gate frames can be paired with compatible gate hinges, gate latches and suitable automation equipment. For motorised installations, the Swing Gate Mounting Plate for Steel Farm Gates (GTR170) provides a mounting solution for compatible Richmond swing gate motors.
Heavy Duty Swing Gate Frames for Farms, Driveways & Property Access
Galvanised steel swing gates are commonly used to control access to farms, rural properties, residential driveways, commercial premises and industrial sites. Hinged at one side, these gates swing open to provide vehicle, machinery or pedestrian access, depending on the opening width and installation arrangement.
Richmond’s farm gate range includes smaller 4ft and 6ft configurations for narrower openings, along with 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 14ft and 16ft N-brace mesh gates for wider entrances. Different bracing arrangements provide structural support across the gate frame, while mesh configurations offer an additional barrier within the frame.
When selecting a steel swing gate frame, consider the clear opening width, gate dimensions, hinge arrangement, supporting posts and available swing clearance. For automated applications, the gate weight, frame construction, motor mounting position and compatibility with the selected swing gate opener must also be assessed.

Product Types by Application
4ft Mesh Swing Farm Gates
The 4ft Mesh Farm Gate (FGR001) measures 1175mm wide by 1170mm high and provides a compact galvanised steel gate option for narrower property entrances. Its mesh configuration provides a physical barrier within the steel gate frame.
This size is suited to suitable farm access points, smaller residential entrances, garden access areas and rural fencing applications. The compact dimensions make it a practical option where a larger vehicle access gate is not required.
6ft I-Stay Swing Farm Gates
The 6ft I-Stay Farm Gate (FGR002) measures 1830mm wide by 1170mm high and features an I-stay bracing arrangement. This provides additional structural support within the galvanised steel gate frame.
These swing gate frames are suitable for compatible rural driveways, farm entrances and property access points requiring a gate wider than the 4ft configuration. The gate can be combined with suitable hinges, latches and mounting hardware for the installation.
6ft Open-Frame I-Brace Farm Gates
The 6ft I-Brace Farm Gate Without Mesh (FGR008) measures 1830mm wide by 1170mm high. It features an open-frame construction with I-style bracing, providing a galvanised steel swing gate option without an integrated mesh infill.
Open-frame farm gates are useful for rural properties, agricultural entrances and suitable access points where a mesh barrier is not required. The braced frame provides structural support while maintaining an open configuration.
8ft & 10ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gates
Richmond’s medium-width N-brace mesh gates include the 8ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gate (FGR003), measuring 2400mm by 1170mm, and the 10ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gate (FGR004), measuring 3000mm by 1170mm. Both feature galvanised steel construction with N-style bracing and mesh infill.
These gates are suited to farm driveways, rural property entrances, agricultural access routes and other openings requiring additional width. The N-brace arrangement provides structural support across the gate frame, while the mesh infill helps form a more complete barrier.
12ft & 14ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gates
For wider access points, Richmond supplies the 12ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gate (FGR005), measuring 3600mm by 1170mm, and the 14ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gate (FGR006), measuring 4200mm by 1170mm.
These larger galvanised steel swing gates are useful for rural driveways, machinery access points and agricultural properties where wider openings are required. Suitable supporting posts, hinges and foundations are important to accommodate the gate dimensions and operating loads.
16ft Heavy Duty N-Brace Mesh Farm Gates
The 16ft N-Brace Mesh Farm Gate (FGR007) measures 4800mm wide by 1170mm high and is the widest swing farm gate listed in Richmond’s range. It features galvanised steel construction, N-style bracing and mesh infill.
This configuration is relevant to wider farm entrances, agricultural machinery access and rural properties requiring substantial gate opening widths. Due to its overall length, particular attention should be given to hinge selection, post strength, swing clearance and the suitability of any proposed automation system.
Specialty Product Options
Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel Gate Construction
Richmond’s swing farm gates feature hot-dip galvanised steel construction to provide corrosion resistance for outdoor installations. Galvanising helps protect the steel surface against environmental exposure, making these gates suitable for many agricultural, residential and commercial applications.
Galvanised steel gate frames are commonly used on rural properties, farm boundaries and outdoor entrances where equipment is exposed to changing weather conditions. Regular inspection of hinges, mounting hardware and damaged surface areas remains important for ongoing maintenance.
N-Brace Swing Gate Frames
N-brace swing gate frames incorporate diagonal bracing within the gate structure to provide additional support across the frame. Richmond offers N-brace mesh farm gates in 8ft, 10ft, 12ft, 14ft and 16ft sizes.
These configurations are useful for wider agricultural and rural property entrances where gate length and structural support are important considerations. The appropriate gate size should be selected alongside suitable hinges, posts and mounting hardware.
I-Stay & I-Brace Farm Gate Frames
I-style bracing provides an alternative support arrangement for swing gate frames. Richmond’s 6ft range includes an I-stay farm gate (FGR002) and an open-frame I-brace farm gate without mesh (FGR008).
These options allow installers to select a gate configuration suited to the entrance and intended use. The open-frame design is useful where mesh infill is unnecessary, while the I-stay configuration provides a different bracing arrangement for the gate structure.
Mesh & Open-Frame Gate Options
Richmond supplies mesh farm gates in selected sizes from 4ft to 16ft, along with a 6ft open-frame I-brace gate without mesh. Mesh infill provides an additional physical barrier within the gate frame, while open-frame configurations allow a less enclosed gate design.
Mesh gates are relevant to suitable rural fencing and property access applications. Where animal containment is required, the mesh openings, surrounding fencing, ground clearance and gate installation should be assessed for the particular animals and site conditions.
Swing Gate Mounting Plates for Automation
The Swing Gate Mounting Plate for Steel Farm Gates (GTR170) allows compatible Richmond swing gate motors to be mounted onto steel farm gates. The motor attaches to a galvanised steel plate positioned on one side of the gate, with back retaining plates securing the assembly to the gate frame.
This mounting arrangement is useful when adding suitable swing gate automation equipment to a steel farm gate. The plate provides a dedicated mounting interface, but installers must still confirm motor compatibility, gate weight, mounting geometry and the requirements of the complete automation system.
Manual & Automated Swing Gate Installations
Richmond swing gate frames can be used in manual gate installations with compatible hinges and latches. Selected configurations may also be suitable for automation when paired with the correct motor, mounting hardware and control equipment.
For motorised applications, explore Richmond’s AC DIY Double Swing Gate Automation Kit (GTR058) and DC/Solar DIY Single Swing Gate Automation Kit (GTR078). Motor selection must account for gate dimensions, weight, operating conditions and manufacturer compatibility requirements.
Gate Hinges, Latches & Mounting Hardware
Correct hinge and latch selection is essential for the installation and operation of swing gate frames. Hinges support the gate and allow it to rotate, while latches help secure the gate in its closed position.
Richmond supplies a range of gate hinges, gate latches and gate accessories for suitable installations. Hardware should be selected according to gate weight, post construction, opening direction and operating requirements.
