i plan to mount some wood on it!

Drill a clearance hole through the wood on the back, and choose your screw lengths carefully so they don't poke out through the front. If the rough sawn tries to bend, then you may need to pack with timber just slightly thinner than the gate steel.
Presumably you don't want to drill through the gate steel itself?

will the gatepost and hinges take the extra weight?

A clearer description would help.

Why not just build a new gate from wood
