I'm after some advice on fitting heavy gates in a driveway.
I understand that some gates would be fine fixing the hinge to the original brick post but for heavier gates that need a steel post or drives with poor built or crumbling brick post what's the best way to dig out someone's drive to concrete the post in?
The way I think is right (correct me if I'm wrong) cut a square out the tarmac/concrete using a Stihl saw or grinder with s diamond disc, break the surface material with a sds and chisel bit then dig the hole with a post spade, drop the post in followed by concrete?
Am i right?
Thanks in advance
