Hang on two or three heavy-duty hinges fixed to a treated hardwood or concrete gate post, ensuring the post is set at least 600mm into the ground with a concrete collar for stability. Apply a quality exterior wood stain or preservative to all faces, edges, and end grain before and after hanging to extend service life, particularly in the wet climate of South Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size posts do I need for a 1800 x 900mm feather edge gate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a gate of this size and weight, 100 x 100mm treated softwood or concrete posts are a common choice.
