To hang a pair of gates in between the gate posts, measure the space between the two posts and minus 225mm to allow space for the two hinge sets and latch in the middle. Then divide the remaining measurement by two to give you the size each gate needs to be. This method allows both gates to swing either way.

2) Make sure the gate is mounted high enough on the hinge post to keep the far end of the gate off the ground. 3) Use dry concrete to set the posts. 4) Use heavy-duty, all-thread bolts. They cost more, but allow you to adjust the gate. 5) Use strainer wire to balance the gate with the fence running on either side of the gate.

If you are having a pair of wooden gates, you can either have them the same size, or you can choose to have one of the gates smaller than the other to provide a pedestrian entrance. Next, you can choose whether to hinge your gate from the back of the posts, or in between the gate posts.
