Re: Who makes these type of gates?

You really need to get a sense of proportion, Pete. Your postings remind
me of Henry Root.

Most anybody with a welder could make them, it seems to me. But have you
checked with Tractor Supply? Or how about this website:
http://www.davisgates.com/ My guess would be if they don't have it they
could tell you where to get it.

HAHAHAHA !!!

I knew you were a good ol' boy Roger!

Roger is correct, you can get them at Tractor Supply Co..

That is a variant of the traditional 'kissing gate' that has been built in
wood since time immemorial wherever animals are kept in or out of fields,
and in metal since at least the 18th century and cheap iron. I'd say that
anyone who can put up a fence can devise a kissing gate; if you want metal
then any blacksmith or light engineering workshop should be able to do it.

Is that meant to make fat people get down on all fours to get through?
I've seen similar constrictions meant to force cyclists to dismount or to
deter motor-bikers, but usually they are just bent metal tubing.

Mostly, any barrier that allows a wheelchair through will let a small solo
motor-bike through as well, and as you've noticed wheelchairs are the
easiest thing to keep out whether that's the intention or not.
Pedal-cyclists are perfectly capable of lifting their machines above their
heads or even removing the wheels etc to get them throuhg anything that a
human body can get through or over. If you want to deter motor-bikes, a
notice to that effect is as reliable as any barrier intended to permit
wheelchairs.

If the kissing-gate design in your picture stops wheel-chairs, then it's a
bad design, or incorrectly installed - there was a problem of that sort on
the marshes near where I live a few years ago when it was decided to make
them 'accessible'; some of the gate designs were eventually replaced
entirely but many just needed to be installed following the instructions,
rather than letting the labourers make it up as they went along - one
important access point was accessible only to those who could climb over
the gate, at first, until one night it was mysteriously demolished ...
that was one of the simpler types meant to do the same as your
28e15e93f3_b.jpg, but do you know any wheelchairs that can get through an
18" opening?

I think you've been told before - they are to keep vermin out; the
fact that you can't get in probably means it is money well spent.

You must realise that shit-heaps doesn't really want to know who makes
them or how much they cost. Why would he want to know this?

He only posts here as he is looking for some social interaction which
is sadly missing from his life.

I suggest that you contact local TV and radio stations and newspapers, and
try to get a journalist to take up the matter. The important thing is to
get access practical for those who are meant to have it - the wasted money
on ineffective measures is too late to worry about, although it is
something a journalist or politician could use when looking for mud to
sling. Is there a 'Friends of the local woods' outfit? Perhaps a local
journalist could help get one started.

Pictures of wheelchairs stuck in the 'accessible' gates would make good
copy for a local TV news program - on a quiet day.

You are quite right - unfortunately Mr Turtill has pissed off all the
local media outlets with previous inane ramblings.
You will not be aware, but there will be a (currently) hidden agenda
behind this do-goodery. The real purpose behind his thinking will
soon become apparent.

He needs to get out more get a life, stop moaning all the time.
He always seems to moan moan moan moan and moan.

Good grief anyone would think it's big deal being in a wheel chair.
Good girief so he can't walk, so what, no big deal many people can't walk
and they don't just sit there crying how hard life is.
