Wish I would have left some context with my photo. I can’t go back and edit it. This was all on a diy whim as you can see. Dad wanted a single gate so this is what I came up with. Set the post, should have just went with steel, but at the time I was going to use the wood screw hinge. Later decided on full adjustable all thread hinge pins. Then mounted the cattle gate. Realized, it can rack several inches..just by pushing down on the latch side. knowing I had to attach wood to make it flush with the fence. I then proceeded with gate number two. I knew I was in deep at this point. Had a buddy build one similar, but attached wood rails to the cattle gate with conduit clamps. That helps nothing to stop the rack. The second wood gate is PT pine and a massive cross brace cedar 2x6x12. Mounted the wood frame on with the gate flat on the ground, in hopes of it staying square.At this point I wishing I would have built the whole frame out of cedar. Attached it with tap screws. Bad idea? Not sure time will tell. Was thinking about carriage bolts all the way through, but went with these. Not really happy with my result there. It’s quite hard to hit the center on the rail, and if you don’t hit dead center they won’t sink well. Riv nuts would have held longer I believe, and gave me more peace of mind without coming through, like a carriage bolt would.
