RCCM Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just a quick one for you all. I have a junction in part of a race to complete where it needs to 2x 16ft gates and 1x 12ft gate all hung on the same gate post. The post is a 3.8m x 300mm diameter creo strainer so will be in the ground about 1.6m ish. The gates will each be hung a third of the way round the post from the last or thereabouts. The gates are the chainlink Hayes deer gates so fairly light. Have many of you hung multiple gates on a single post without anything adverse happening over time?

premnayloon Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have never done it but its a good bit if timber I would say, Are the gates all even spaced when hung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Fork Fence Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 We do it quite often. As long as the weight is evenly distributed, it works just fine. We will use a slam latch to reduce the load on the gate post if needed. It might not be very clear in these pictures, but half of these gates shared a post with another. The customer is still quite happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCM Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thank you both. My feeling was that if they are spaced evenly around the posts circumference then the weight of each should counteract each other. WFF - what was that yard and raceway of gates all for?

West Fork Fence Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's for horses......8 box stalls with 4 dry lots leading to 2 pastures. There were a couple of places that 4 gates latched to the same post. It took me 2 days to get that all worked out right, and it was 95F with high humidity. I was glad when that one was done.

Goaty Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ive done it in a handling area but not that long ago. if the gates were really long or heavy they might lean but i dont see any issue with your depth and substantial post. Lets face it many gates are hung on weak posts and all gateposts with only one gate are lopsided with weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting Hayes type gates from if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
