I am replacing side gate 6' x 3' and due to pipework directly below where I need the post I only have

Question

around 10" depth so I have opted for a post anchor which I can concrete in but will this be strong enough to prevent the post leaning... As only around 6" of the post sits in the anchor... Help

Answer 1

rxh666, Look, I think this would be fine, and I will tell you why, You say only 6" of the post sits in the anchor, but your anchor will have a bolt which you will tighten up when you put the post in, this will keep it as rigid as you want. I think how successful you will be will depend on the weight of the gate, and as it is just a small gate 6x3 I don't think you have a problem.  

Answer 2

You might be able to dig beside where you want to set your post. Set a new post and then Lag or bolt another post to the side of it back to the original location.

Answer 3
