Hi everyone,I just planted some hedges for a hedge/privacy fence. The front of our house has a large concrete walkway (8 ft wide, 1 foot above the ground). We bought a driveway gate that is wide enough to cover this walkway/entrance.My question is how deep do you need to dig/concrete metal posts for a gate? In order to clear the concrete walkway I need to have the post stick up about 1 foot, which only leaves about 1 foot to dig down and concrete in the metal post. Is this enough, or do I need to attach the metal pole to something else like a 4x4 that is concreted in the ground 2-3 feet.Most of what I have read suggests fence/gate posts should be 2-3 ft in the ground, but for the gate I bought this wouldn't be possible because the pole is not long enough to clear the raised walkway if I put it 2 ft in the ground. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/3gQqsZo
