Lol, good question. Morrisville pa. Its not a bad area, i just put it on for piece of mind. Two possible scenarios that i could see happening: Some ******* that has beef with me pouring sugar/ water in it. Or somebody backing into my driveway with a van and pumping out all my oil. In either...

Unfortunately there was no pipe size i could find that fit tight inside. The ID is 2.635". Ive believe in concrete filling pipes and just wanted to see if any ney sayers wanted to see some hard proof. In this case, i anchored the post to the block wall of house so its plenty sturdy. Used...

I would personally do just one larger door and go higher. Needs more garage and less chill space. Looks good though! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

[ATTACH]523145 Not worried about the hinges rusting since i installed zerks and will grease them frequently Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Ive used POR15 before and found it to not adhere very well to the non rusted surfaces. I only have very slight surface rust in spots at this point Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Just fabbed up this 7ft high 12'8" wide gate out of mild steel. (Wish i used stainless or galvanized) I used 3 cans of flat black primer and then 3 cans of flat paint and after couple rains, its already starting to rust in a couple spots likes some welds. I was thinking of maybe using Rhino...

Here is the 12'8" double swing gate i built for anybody that was wondering. I filled both posts with rebar and concrete. What a difference it made! Also secured the latch post to the basement block wall via 3x4 angle iron Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

You are wrong. And i take it you've never concrete filled a post. Many benefits are reaped by doing so Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

There is not necessarily a "problem". I just want to mame it stronger and stiffer. I also want the added security benefits of the concrete. Not to mention, the gate should have a more "solid" feel when closed. I just figured i would take this time to make a little experiment out of it and...

The gate its self it on a 4" ss40 post and concrete filled. No problem there. The post in question is on the latch side

The pipe in question is 2 7/8" OD .120 wall. It is 11ft long and embedded 3' 11' deep in concrete. It is the latch post to a 12ft wide gate i built. I wish i went with a thicker wall pipe, since when the gate closes it flexes and vibrates more then i would like.

I have spent time reading through various threads on here about if filling an undersized small diameter steel gatepost will help increase its overall stiffness, rigidity, and resistance to deflection when horizonal load is applied. (Assuming it is properly anchored to earth and all deflection is...
