Field Gates

[owdboggy]

We would like to replace our gates into the garden. The gap is 16 feet, at present there is a rusty old metal and a rickety wooden one covering the gap. We could fence but then we might lose the right of access. So, we were looking at decent wooden gates (2 x 7 foot plus 9 to 12 inch posts) Anyone ever had anything like this put up and any idea of costs? I could do it myself, but really do not fance the hole digging for the posts in rather stony ground and the weight of the gates may be a trouble.
TIA

Sorry, OB, I have no idea but I would imagine it will set you back several hundreds!

Reckoned to be about 500 quid so probably will not be doing it!

I saw some metal sheep barriers on ebay a few weeks ago? Dunno if you'd consider those for your gap?

No, ta, The gap is adequately filled now, we just were looking at a more decorative scenario.
