1I'd be leery about using it for a gate. There's a lot of horizontal and torquing forces that would cause it to loosen up. What would it be going into? – Chris Cudmore Aug 12 '15 at 15:39

The post support? It will be bolted down in concrete .. – MiniMe Aug 12 '15 at 16:16

(I seem to say this a lot, but) put a "gate wheel" on the gate, and it'll be fine as a hinge post. Unlikely to work otherwise, imho. – Aloysius Defenestrate Aug 13 '15 at 3:28

I have to open the gate outside toward a sloped driveway. The wheel will lose contact with the ground in the first 3-4 inches of its swing – MiniMe Aug 13 '15 at 12:50
