[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 84350, member: 9"] Gates exert a lot of stress on the hinge post. For a 12 to 16' long gate need another post about 8 feet from the gate post with a diagonal brace from top of hinge post to bottom of the 2nd post. Of course if the "fence" part has posts every 8 to 10' and boards nailed onto the posts, this will help stabilize hinge post greatly. [Same principles apply to welded pipe fences]. Think in terms of "leverage" also. Just a single concrete set post for a hinge post will not hold the gate horizontal. Also, lot depends on type of soil one has. Look at some established fences, gates installed on rural property for some ideas. [/QUOTE]
