Hello,
Looking to have a 4x4 post to support a 5 ft high, 4 ft wide wood gate.
What is the preferred method of installing a wood post. I read that placing gravel for the bottom and then using a pressured treated wood along with concrete. Then make sure the concrete is slanted away from the post. Can somebody confirm?
Also read that using a foam base is a good replacement but I don't know how secure for holding up a gate.
