Driveway Gates Steel

Steel Fence Post Width & Depth?

Due to the width of my driveway and slope of the street, I am installing a steel frame Gate. Each gate will be approx. 8.5 feet wide. The post will have to be 8 – 8.5 feet above ground. Will a 5 1/4 inch post do or is it over kill? At 8.5 feet above ground, how deep should the post go in the ground, I am thinking 4 feet minumum set in concrete.

Certainly the greatest stress will be at the point of the gate/gates; farthest from the post. Give me a min. I’m trying to get over some confusion……..

You state the posts must be 8.5 above ground. So that assumes codes allow and 8 ft. fence? BTW; there is no such thing as overkill. The issues might relate more to the substance of the soil; than strictly to the depth of the post/ concrete or not.

A 12 ft. 6x post, using 4 plus ft. Of concrete seems adequate; but as I said; soil substance matters; as well as the slope and drainage; Frost line; etc.

For gates that wide I’d be inclined to do double posts; especially if you aren’t depending on a Fence corner to aid in support. Certainly you can add wheels to the center posts where the gates meet in closing.
