We have redone many of the so called town bought ones. Now the only way is to bend a 1 1/2 solid shaft and making a horse shoe. We then dig post holes four foot in the ground to insert the horse shoe. We place fence posts on both ends of the doors in the open position as well. The dirt and snow can get away as well as ice.
