My parents had some gates made several years ago..
Each are 6ft by 4ft made from 25mm box section with a sheet of 2mm galvanised riveted on.. the gates seem solid enough ( not how I would have done them but hey! )
Gates where then hung on some 4" timber posts and as you can imagine several years later the posts have rotted and the gates won't open etc...
What size metal posts would you use .. I'm guessing 8ft long so I can get a couple ft in the ground but would 100x100 be suitable and what size Wall? 3mm?
Any help would be appreciated
