Hello, I'm looking for a bit of fence advice.
Please look at these two drawings: https://imgur.com/a/XGbmusf
I wan't to hang a gate and am considering one of these two options. They are subtle so look closely.
One option only requires one H brace, and the other requires two. I like the look of the single H brace at an angle to the gate. Can I get away with this, or do I need to hang the gate strait on the H brace. Please see pictures.
PS I'm using about 5" diameter posts, sunk 3 feet. I used one bag of cement and tamped the rest. So the cement comes about 1.5 feet up from the bottom of the hole, and tamp the other 1.5 feet. Solid clay soil.
Thank you so much!
