Already two years since we have the property, so we needed a new gate entrance. The first picture shows how the old one was. Unfortunately we are the weekend warriors on this property, but for this project I had to work just myself.

As we have more than 40 acres of wood wasn't any problem to find the post gate so I said, let use three insteed. The big challenge was the use of post hole digger (never did it before). Took me more than 4 hours to dig 3 holes (on first 12" was nice soil, but the rest was a nightmare, rocks, rocks and again rocks...) plus more than a dozen of share bolts.

What is left to do; to install the cedar shingles and the post on other side. I'll add the pics to show the progress.....

Happy summer to all.

Looks good. Did you coat the bottom of the posts with roofing tar or a similar substance?

Looks great - are you going to do the same on the other side?
