Subject: [ACCESSIBUILT] Gates
> Dear All,
> Can you help me with a problem. Exiting a footbridge there is side by
side
> a cattlegrid and a swing gate, roughly 1m wide. The Gate swings in one
> direction, has a pull weight of 10 Newtons an is a steele triangle, with
> the square edges being the top bar and edge nearest the post it is hung
on.
>
> The bridge goes onto the common which still has cattle on so the gate
needs
> to swing shut, This means wheelchair users find it difficult. One
resident
> is very put out by this, he is paralysed on one side, uses an electic
> scooter and needs a solution to getting through the gate in both
directions.
>
> For the gate there is a nearby electricity supply (though a power
assisated
> gate isn't too appropiate), any solution needs to be vandal resistant,
> weather proof, low maintenance, heavy duty and not too costly. I think an
> easy form of gate rather than powering the existing gate is the answer,
has
> anyone any suggestions or details of accessible gate manufacturers.
