After deciding on the best gate layout, measure out on the ground the length of your gate's dimensions
(see pages 9-10)
Take the stakes and, using a mallet, drive the stakes into the ground at the center point of where each post will be located.
Next, use the paint to mark the ground with a crisscross to
denote the gate post location.
Now paint a 12" x 20" oval that will be the size of the hole
you dig. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second post.

Post hole on low side of
slope is less deep than the
high side of slope enabling
the gate to be level.
Post
should be no less than 2
ft deep on a hinged pole.
Further stabilization may
be necessary.
