Farm gate chain is the essential link between secure fencing and dependable gate operation on farms, stables and rural properties. Designed to withstand heavy loads, weather and regular handling, a quality farm gate chain ensures gates close reliably, restrain livestock and provide low-maintenance security. Choose from hot-dipped galvanised, stainless and zinc-plated finishes to match environmental demands — galvanising provides long-lasting corrosion resistance for exposed fields, while stainless steel is ideal for coastal or chemical environments.
Ashley Chains, an experienced UK chain specialist, manufactures robust farm gate chain to industry standards using precision-formed links and tested breaking strengths. Their range covers multiple diameters and link patterns to suit timber, steel and mesh gates, with compatible gate fittings such as shackles, turnbuckles and hooks available for safe, adjustable installation.
When specifying farm gate chain consider working load, dynamic forces from animals and the gate’s hanging system; a slightly oversized chain often increases longevity and safety. Routine inspection and simple care—lubrication of moving connections and occasional cleaning—extend service life and maintain smooth operation.
Whether replacing a worn link or equipping a new gate project, investing in purpose-made farm gate chain reduces downtime and repair costs. Browse by load rating and finish to find the right chain for paddocks, access gates and heavy-duty farm entrances.
