It has been over four years since the tree wiped out the front gate

 Finally might get to a non-auto related task.  The hope is to install posts before the ground freezes.  Ultimately, the hope is to rebuild the front gate from the bones of the former gate.  The challenge is to find out how deep I can make the post holes to resist the freeze.  City temps might be milder than the suburbs, but the freeze heaves up to two inches if not deeper than 28 inches... or that was the original recommendation.  If I can get 36 inches will be lucky.  Most of the post around the property seem around 20 inches and a blob of cement.  

At about 36.5" wide and an over fancy look, this I call concept 1.  It should be quite strong with the interlocking stiles.  It is part optical illusion as well.
