[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1766576, member: 19817"] 10" or so off the ground is what I shoot for. Some are more some are less. That gives room for a little bit of snow to build up and still be able to open them. But the gates I use all winter for feeding come off the hinges in the fall and get chained or wired on the posts. This allows the gate to rise with the snow. It also allows you to quickly remove the gate when you get 4 foot of snow overnight and you dont feel like digging the entire arc of a swinging gate out.
