Gate

A fence incorporating at least one gate, the gate comprising:

• a pair of opposite side frame members, each said side frame member having a respective aperture, the apertures being opposite to one another;
• a pair of opposite end frame members spanning from one of the side frame members to the other of the side frame members, and opposite ends of one of the end frame members are received in the apertures of the side frame members;
• and
• infill means for restricting egress through the gate, the end frame members and the side frame members forming a peripheral frame about the infill means, and the infill means having opposite edge margins, at least one of the apertures of the side frame members is a hole dimensioned such that a space is provided between a surface of one of the opposite ends of one of the end frame members located within the hole and an edge of the hole to allow driving movement of the one of the opposite ends of the end frame members toward the other of the end frame members and into pressed contact with the infill means and thereby sandwich the infill means between the opposite said end frame members to fixedly hold the infill means in position within the peripheral frame during assembly of the gate, and fixing means for retaining the end frame members in said pressed contact with the infill means and the peripheral frame of the gate being hinged to a post of the fence for opening and closing of the gate.

A method for providing a gate, comprising:

• providing a pair of side frame members and pair of end frame members, each of the side frame members having a respective aperture;
• providing infill means for restricting egress through the gate, the infill means having opposite upper and lower terminal end edges;
• forming a peripheral frame about the infill means from the side frame members and the end frame members such that the end frame members span from one of the side frame members to the other of the side frame members and the apertures in the side frame members are opposite to one another, and opposite ends of one of the end frame members are received in the apertures, at least one of the apertures is a hole dimensioned such that a space is provided between a surface of one of the opposite ends of one of the end frame members located within the hole and an edge of the hole to allow driving movement of the one of the opposite ends of the end frame members toward the other said end frame member for fixedly holding the infill means in position between the end frame members;
• and
• driving the one said end frame member against the corresponding edge of the infill means such that the opposite end edges of the infill means are in pressed contact with the end frame members and the infill means is thereby sandwiched between the end frame members to fixedly hold the infill means in said position;
• securing said one end frame member in position with fixing means so that the end frame members are retained in said pressed contact with the infill means;
• and
• installing the gate for opening and closing of the gate.
