It really needs diagonal bracing from the hinge side bottom to the top. The gate looks Long though and a Diagonal brace is probably inadequate to be honest? maybe a double brace. see below.

In the pic above i assume it is hinged from the left side. the solid yellow bracings are paramount. From the bottom they carry weight and will support the gate from the bottom hinge. given the width of the opening i'd be concerned about the top rail of the gate bending over time at that middle point to be honest and there may be an argument for the second bracing of the broken yellow line also. The broken yellow will be a tension brace and less important but may offer tension support to the outer section over time and limit the stress on that top rail.
If you wanted to try using Hoop Iron strap or something it would need to be Opposite and you would brace it using Hoop Iron to the broken yellow lines and the weight would be hung from the top hinge. Hope thats helpful mate.
Hey bud, it's actually two Gates, with the seam hidden behind the centre post. The frame is made from steel and the support structure which the hinges on either side is braced to outer structures. At the moment it is solid. If it sags I will reinforce, but will wait for that to happen. I dressed the outer parts today and it looks much better. Nice and solid too.

No probs, yeah i could see that it was a welded frame. If that is 2 gates then the bracing should be from the borrom up the the middle from each side. Looks good mate. Look forward to checking it out.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Have had the pleasure of driving through the hills with the trol on Friday. Picked up my son from school in Essendon and took the scenic route which was actually quicker to Seville and then back home. Then on Saturday drove the same route opening up the wifes v8 through the hills.
Man I love that drive.
