I finished the first gate yesterday, and I am really happy with the results. It is very rigid and holds the weight well. This total span is 12 ft. It is 9.5 ft between the posts. I added a hinged end so that it will fold back and clear the higher part of the rise to the driveway as the gate is swung open. It will also serve as a small pass through. The added weight of the end caused a tiny bit more sag after I had set the latch.
Just don't look too closely at the quality of the welds. They don't look very pretty but they are strong enough.
