Im in process of installing vynil double gate 4x6, but doubtfull if those two tiny hinges can hold this heavy gate without any diagonal brace. After one year since this video, did you gate sag?
No because I have those spring loaded wheels on there. But if you put a diagonal brace make sure the low side of the brace is on the hinge side of the gate. and high side of brace towards latch. Also helps to cement your post that the gate hangs from. Cement to the very top. Make sure your hardware is installed before cement.
they don't need posts if you fill them with concrete. but they do make some kind of sleeve that works with a 4x4 post if that's the route you want to go. i recommend setting your posts. install your hinges. then fill the post with concrete
Great video! I was trying to figure out how precise I had to be with install. Helped to see there’s some adjustment built into the hinges
Thank you! If you have any other questions I would be glad to help!

@@G.I.D.CustomWoodworks yeah, i noticed the wheel later in the video
Are the posts the gates are attached to have 4x4 in them or anything?

Where did you get the spring loaded wheels?
The fencing supply store had them. I think home depot also has them but they're a little different than the ones I have.
What about the gate hinges? There nice!
Same with the hinges I got them from my local fence supply. Thanks for subscribing!
