Hoping to replace back garden wall with a wooden gate. I will need two gate posts on either ends.
I was thinking to use a concrete slotted fence post, then fix a 2x4 wooden batton to it though drilled holes and then hang the gate, gate itself will be in two parts , 6ft x 6ft on one side and 2ft x 6ft on the other. will a concrete post be strong enough? I read in few places they tend to crack.
Is wooden post a good idea? the area is on a high ground so water in the soil will be not that high.
Regards to metal/steel posts, what options do I have? I want to keep costs to a minimum if possible as I've spent qute a bit on restructuring the garden and patio over the lockdown.
Thanks
