I called into Wickes today to see if I could find a ready-made wooden gate that was reasonably robust. I am making some alterations to one of the pig paddocks which includes a new access point. I was hoping to save a bit of time and effort. Wickes did have some gates of the right dimensions but they were £60 each. I came out empty-handed.
Back home I resorted to a more smallholderly solution, resigning myself to dismantling a pallet to produce the required timber. It didn't take as long as I thought and I was able to make up and fit the required gate during the afternoon. Luckily I also had some spare field gate hinges. The only cost was some screws.
