Every kingdom needs a gate, and every outdoor classroom deserves one too.
Our Buttercups Boundaries - Fence Gate is a sturdy, practical addition that helps you create defined spaces while keeping your outdoor area flexible and inviting.
Ideal for EYFS and primary settings, it can section off messy play zones, create entrances to role play worlds, or simply stop resources wandering off mid-session.
Designed to work seamlessly with the rest of the Buttercups Boundaries range, this gate is robust enough for daily use yet light enough to reposition when your layout needs a refresh.
Children love the sense of responsibility it brings, opening and closing the gate themselves while learning about boundaries, routines, and shared spaces.
More than just a hinge and latch, this gate is an open invitation to outdoor learning adventures.
