First decent off-roading in probably a year has made me happy!
Unfortunately it was a lux and left me feeling like I need a back brace

Hey bud looking awesome, i have to try and get over your side of town and come and check it out mate. Hope Teags and little Lacey are doing awesome.Massively back breaking day but go so much done on my day off. Stoked with the end result though, just need to make a frame up and get some decent hinges for the gate but happy with everything else!
Also took three trees down with the neighbours help that were leaning dangerously towards his house roof. So much timber.

Mate did you make the frame for the gate? or buy it? the timbers on the gate look like a decent size? 125x35 or something? The bad news is gate is going to sag mate, sorry bud. 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.
