Title of Question: Gate Post Repair

 

Name: Ron    City: Huntington Beach

Question: Wood gate attached to a wood post set in concrete is starting to move. It's just a matter of time before it breaks free from the concrete that anchors it in the ground. Any tricks of the trade I should know about when making the repair? How deep should the new post be set in the new concrete?
