We build our fences with the posts buried about three feet deep and set apart at 6' for a strong structure. We use thick walled galvanized steel posts or 6"x6" cedar posts. With the 6"x6" cedar posts we cut notches into the post where the rails go. Then we set the pickets on the other side creating a nice column look. 
This gate has an arched top with faux iron hinges.
This is a typical fence we build with steel posts set every 6' with full 2"x4" cedar or treated rails. The pickets are set in a board on board fashion. The cap board is a 2"x8" cedar board with a 1"x3" trim piece under the overhang. This fence is pre stained with a medium brown oil stain.
We build a lot of decks. Mostly we use treated 5/4"x6" deck boards or 1"x6" cedar deck boards. All the framing and posts are treated wood. We set the posts about two feet deep in concrete for added strength and stability.
My gates are built in an old world fashion called ship lap. Half of each corner end is cut out and then the corners are glued and screwed together forming a ridgid frame to make the gate.Most fence companies use the rails for the gated and add a diagonal brace or two. My gates have a ten year warranty. The posts on which the gate hangs are buried at least three feet deep fo added strength. I also use a better hinges. No one wants to spend money on a fence and the first thing that goes bad is the gate!
Stone fire pit that looks great and is a pleasure to use.
Close up of the ship lap frame which I use on all my gates. No one else in Dallas makes gates this way.
