Field gates

We would like to replace our gates into the garden. The gap is 16 feet, at present there is a rusty old metal and a rickety wooden one covering the gap. We could fence but then we might lose the right of access. So, we were looking at decent wooden gates (2 x 7 foot plus 9 to 12 inch posts) Anyone ever had anything like this put up and any idea of costs? I could do it myself, but really do not fance the hole digging for the posts in rather stony ground and the weight of the gates may be a trouble.
TIA

 

Hi, at my prices:

Labour: �£200 - �£250 ( �£250 if any block paving or tarmac to lift and reelay.

Materials: (cost plus mark up)

Gates :�£150

Fittings �£30

Posts �£85

Concrete �£30

Total �£495

Self evidently the posts should be left three days to set before the gates are hung.

 

Thanks Paul. The posts are to be set in grassed area so no problems there except the stony first foot in depth, after that it is sand.
Wish you lived in Gwynedd, you could come and do it for me!
