- One of the most important things in a gate’s design is a cross-brace in the structure, starting from top corner opposite the hinges (free-swinging side of the gate), pointing downward to the lower hinged side of the gate.

- Depending on where you live, the number-one thing to check before installing the posts is your area’s typical depth of frost.
