Hi, Im fitting some wooden driveway gates, each leaf is 5ft wide by 6ft high. the gate posts i am using are 9ft by 8x8in and will be sunk 3ft deep.my question is would well compacted granite type 1 be as strong as concrete for the posts as they will eventually rot if set in concrete. i have used this method in the past for fencing but im not sure if its strong enough for heavy gates? any suggestions would be greatly appreiciated :)
