I've inherited some old metal gates from a neighbour who was upgrading to some more elaborate ones. He's got brick piers to support his gates but I was thinking of metal posts.
I'm think of using a 50x50 post as that looks not too domineering and several other neightbours have got that size hence I'm fairly certain it will be strong enough. I am going to concrete the posts in place.
How deep do the metal posts need to be burried in the ground?
How much concrete is needed per post?
Any tips for supporting the posts whilst the concrete dries?
Anything else I need to know?
