Kissing Gates at the Longleat Estate Posted on 19 June 2023 by Debbie Newman We installed a couple of kissing gates at The Longleat Estate recently A kissing gate is so called because it does not latch and merely “kisses” the posts on either side. This allows a person to squeeze through while being stock proof. Fore more info on some of the many types of fencing and gates we can supply, see here.
