FAQ About Gate and Fence Posts

What height should a gate post be?

  • The standard size for full-height driveway gates is 8 feet or 2.4 meters in length, but other height options are also available. Check out ALEKO's gate post collection if you need the 8-foot gate posts or for other options. It's important to note that for all gate sizes, you need to set the gate post at a minimum depth of 2 feet in a suitable concrete footing.

How deep should gate posts be buried?

  • For proper installation, the hole depth should be approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the post above the ground level. For instance, an ALEKO 8 foot tall post would need a hole depth of at least 3 to 4 feet. As for the diameter of the hole, it should be 3 times the width of the post.

Do gate posts need to be cemented?

  • It is generally recommended for stability especially for heavier gates or in soft ground areas. Cementing the gate posts helps them from shifting, settling, or tilting over time. It also adds extra support to handle the weight and pressure applied to the gate when opening and closing. ALEKO gate posts are already made to stand the test of time so cementing is a wise choice to ensure a robust and reliable setup.
