Behlen Country 40120121 Heavy Duty Farm Gate 12 Ft 6 Rail

Product Description

The BEHLEN COUNTRY 40120121 is a 12-foot, 6-rail heavy duty steel farm gate built for high-stress agricultural applications. Constructed entirely from 16-gauge steel tubing, this gate is engineered to hold up in heavy-use environments including animal crowding areas and working pens. The horizontal tubes are notched and welded at each intersection for added structural rigidity. Mounting is handled by 0.75-inch by 12-inch bolt hooks that pass completely through the post, providing a secure and easily adjustable hang point. A UV-resistant, powder-coated finish in red delivers long-lasting corrosion and fade resistance across seasons.

This gate is suited for livestock operations, feedlots, working alleys, and farm perimeters where gate integrity under animal pressure is critical. At 50 inches tall, it provides containment height appropriate for cattle and other large livestock. The welded latch and plated chain come included, making the gate ready for installation without sourcing additional hardware. It is a common choice for pen dividers, loading chutes, and pasture entries where a full-width 12-foot opening is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty replacement or new-installation gate for standard agricultural post-and-rail fence systems that accept bolt-hook style gate hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a farm hand, fencing contractor, or agricultural maintenance technician. Ensure the mounting post is structurally sound and set deep enough to handle the lateral load of a 113-pound gate under animal pressure before hanging. The bolt hooks pass through the post, so a through-hole will need to be bored to the appropriate diameter. Confirm latch and chain tension before putting the gate into service.
