Hi guys.
I made a 90 cm by 60 cm timber gate for my back garden by cutting three pieces of 7 cm by 4 cm timber to make a "Z" shaped frame to screw 8 timber panels into it. I am going to screw it into a 75 cm square timber post. The timber post is kept in place by a spike socket and the spike goes 750 mm into the soil. My question is: will the timber post withstand the weight of the garden gate? Thank you for your time.
