Hung Between the Posts
Gates hung between the posts can be hung on either a square or round post. Allow for a 5" space between the gate and the post (on hinge side) so that there is enough room for adjustment when it is necessary. The commonest pin used for this type of installation is the full threaded with nut and washer on either side of the post (#8800). Do not forget to leave the space at the other end of the gate to accommodate the kind of latch that is being used.
Here are a couple of pictures from our customer Doug out in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, who built a single Maine Board Gate along with a set of Double Gates using our DIY Wood Gate Plans. He installed these wire backed gates using a variety of Snug Cottage Gate Hardware. For hinges Doug chose the 12" Double Strap Central Eye Hardware Sets (8312-S122) and to latch the gates he used the Stainless Contemporary Cabin Hook (6270-06316) on the single, and a 15" Cane Bolt (5000-152) on the double.
