Behlen Country 40120101 Heavy Duty Farm Gate 10 Ft 6 Rail

Product Description

The BEHLEN COUNTRY 40120101 is a heavy-duty 10-foot, 6-rail farm gate built from all 16-gauge steel tubing and finished in a UV-resistant red powder coat. It stands 50 inches tall and is engineered for demanding environments where repeated animal contact and crowding put standard gates under stress. The horizontal tubes are notched and welded at every intersection to add rigidity and resist racking. Attachment is handled by 3/4-inch x 12-inch bolt hooks that pass entirely through the post, giving installers a secure, adjustable mount without relying on surface-only hardware. This gate ships as a complete unit at 97 pounds.

This gate is sized for livestock operations, feedlot alleys, squeeze chute approaches, and any high-traffic animal handling area where a standard residential farm gate would not hold up. The 10-foot width suits standard lane and corral openings. The 6-rail layout reduces gaps between horizontal members, which limits the ability of cattle, hogs, or horses to push through or get a leg caught. A welded latch and plated chain are included, so the gate is ready to hang without sourcing additional hardware. It is appropriate for both new installations and replacements on working livestock facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a fencing contractor or experienced farm maintenance crew. Posts must be set at adequate depth and in concrete or compacted fill to support the gate weight of 97 pounds and the dynamic load of crowding animals. Bolt hooks should be installed through a drilled hole in a steel or treated-wood post and secured with a nut and washer on the back side. Always verify the gate swings freely and the latch engages fully before returning the enclosure to service.
