field gate

Farm boundary opening

A field gate is a gate designed for agricultural use, typically wide enough for farm vehicles and livestock to pass through.

Field gates are commonly made of wooden bars or metal tubing, often with a simple latch mechanism.

They connect paddocks, pastures, and fields to lanes or roads: The tractor waited while he swung open the field gate.
