Enter the gate width (ft), the gate height (ft), and the gate weight grade (lbs/ft^2) into the Gate Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Gate Weight. 

Gate Weight Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Gate Weight. 

GW = W * H * G

Variables:

  • GW is the Gate Weight (lbs)
  • W is the gate width (ft) 
  • H is the gate height (ft) 
  • G is the gate weight grade (lbs/ft^2) 

To calculate the gate weight, multiply the gate width, height, and grade together.

How to Calculate Gate Weight?

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Gate Weigth.

Example Problem #1

  1. First, determine the gate width (ft).
    • The gate width (ft) is calculated to be : 6.
  2. Next, determine the gate height (ft).
    • The gate height (ft) is measured to be: 3.
  3. Next, determine the gate weight grade (lbs/ft^2).
    • The gate weight grade (lbs/ft^2) is found to be: 20.
  4. Finally, calculate the Gate Weight using the formula above: 

GW = W * H * G

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

GW = 6 * 3 * 20 = 360.00 (lbs)

Example Problem #2

The variables required for this problem are provided below:

gate width (ft) = 3

gate height (ft) = 4

gate weight grade (lbs/ft^2) = 50

Test your knowledge and check your answer with the calculator.

GW = W * H * G = (lbs)
