The welds that person did are of poor quality.the heat was too low and you never weld over hot dipped coatings. One weld is only on the bracket and did not penitrate the gate,this is were corrosion sets in and stess cracks form. 24' swing gate has large amounts of stress at two diagonal corners. What can you move with a 24' lever. I have welded 3/8 plate with a 110- flux core. Grind the welds completely off. Improper prep work = bad welds. But who am I to judge. If the man welding was blind then he did a great job for not having a grinder or acid to remove the zinc plating.
