I had a 6-7" diameter wood gate post, 8 ft long, 54" out of ground, 42" in ground, with 2 60# bags of concrete, that was allowing my 16 ft gate to sag. Got a 6'6" piece of high pressure 8" steel Gas main pipe; 4-#5 rebar, and 8-60# bags of quikcrete. Welded gate hinges to pipe after pouring footer, with the rebar going from 4 corners into pipe. Hopefully this solves the saggy gate issue. Still need to fill pipe with concrete, but that can come later.
