My question concerns the design of two wood fence components.
Assume I am using 4x4's or 4x6's
Does anyone have a design or picture for a gate post that is to support a gate? Obviously, the simple solution is to dig the hole place the post in the hole and backfill with concrete. I have seen solutions where a second post is placed in the ground a couple feet away from the gate post and a board is placed between them. I understand this adds strength to the gate post so the gate post dosen't sag. Does anyone have pictures or a design diagram they can pass along?
I have a similar question concerning the design of a cornerpost.
Thanks all!
