Gate bolt socket in the ground

[bernardgreen]

I need a socket for the vertical bolt of a gate in a gravelled yard. Has to have a spring loaded seal to prevent gravel falling in then the bolt is not in the socket

I cannot find a suitable one and I fear it may be a DIY bit of metal work unless someone can provide a possible source.

They do one for concrete, I can't see the bolt hole dimensions
But it gives a key word to search for.

I'd be tempted to mount it in concrete on a semi mushroom to discourage gravel entry
