Badger Gates
We provide some of the best badger gates available, to consultancies, developers and landowners all over the UK,
and try to keep sufficient stocks to cope with the inevitable last-minute
orders during the badger sett exclusion licensing season.
However many badger gates you require, whether it is just one or two badger gates for a stock-proof or rabbit-proof
fence, or to keep your dogs from escaping through holes made by badgers in your fence,
or 50 badger gates for a large badger sett exclusion, we aim to supply the best
badger gates available, at short notice, and at a reasonable price.
Please
contact us with your requirements or
for further details.
Made from oak, our standard wooden badger gates exceed the specifications suggested by Defra,
and provide a reliable means of allowing badgers to pass through
fences, while effectively blocking the passage of rabbits, deer,
and other unwanted wildlife.
This avoids the problem of badgers digging under fences and
allowing other wildlife or pets through, as badgers will always try to
continue to use their paths, even when they are blocked.
Our oak badger gate frames are constructed from 50 x 50 mm (2" x 2") rough-sawn green oak,
jointed and pinned. The badger gate itself is a solid piece of 200 x 250 x 50mm (8" x 10" x 2") rough-sawn oak,
swinging freely on strong coach-screws which pass through the frame. The gate flap has chamfered edges all round.The badger gate frame has pointed 'feet' for easy positioning in the ground.

We also supply oak badger gates for excluding badgers from their setts (can only be done under licence, as disturbing a badger sett is an
offence under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992). These gates have an oak batten which can be set to only allow the gate flap to swing one way, thus
allowing the badgers to exit their sett but not return (subject to satisfactory installation).

Our new Highways Agency specification galvanised steel badger gates can be used as fence gates or as exclusion gates.
They are excellent quality, at a reasonable price, and are available for sale or hire.
We can supply these galvanised badger gates in the large (Highways Agency spec) size, or as a smaller gate similar to our oak badger gates.
Our galvanised steel mesh badger fence gates are ideal for use in stock fencing to allow badgers access but avoid them making holes in/under the fence.
The beauty of the metal badger gates is that they will last a very long time, are very strong, and will never warp (a
problem for any wooden gate in certain conditions) or rot.
Quantity discounts are available, and gates can be modified to suit your specific requirements.
Badger fencing and badger bait marking surveys & pellets are also available, please
contact us with your requirements, or click on the links.
* Please note that some warping of the timber of our badger gates may occur under certain conditions.
Please do not store them in too dry an environment, as they will be more prone to warping.
Our oak badger gate design has now been improved, so they are stronger, with better quality timber, chamfered and with big hinge pins!!
