Maybe you guys have seen or have an idea on this.
On the gate entrance, its like 18' wide. Currently we have 2 gates a 12' and a 6' or something close as I cant remember the exact length.When I put up new double gates, I would like to make the short gate that will be"fixed and secured" to a "removeable" post. My intentions are to be able to open the small gate when needed for wide loads etc, but majority of the time it will stay closed and be the point of securement for the big gate. My best idea so far is to concrete 6" pipe in ground flush with ground and then slip smaller pipe into the larger and have it lock to the small gate in a fashion that allows the pipe to come out of ground only when unlocked from smaller gate.
I hate the way 2 gates that meet will flex when locked.
I hope that makes sense...any other ideas or thoughts?
