GATE POSTS
Gate Posts & Footings in Corsicana, TX
A hinge post carries the whole weight of the gate on one side, levered out over the full width of the opening. In Blackland clay that swells wet and shrinks dry, a post that is too light or too shallow starts to lean, and every gate problem after that starts there. This is the structural job on its own: heavy-wall steel posts sized to the gate, holes dug to depth after a Texas811 locate, footings poured big enough to resist the pull, and the post braced plumb until the concrete cures.
