fence down middle of driveway

[vsquizz]

A closed roller door would have alot of wind loading on it and unless you make the adjacent fence panel a bracing wall somehow the post won't have any bracing so it will need to rely on the mass of the footings to keep it from leaning over.

Sorry Mick, I assumed there would be a wall or summit on tother side of the roller.

I have to ask, why 600 x 600 holes?? wouldn't it be more like 200mm dia hole x 600mm deep..room for the post and concrete?? Maybe I missed something. I know what Mick is recommending for the roller door but the rest are just fence posts right. And BTW Mick is just referring to the size of the hole cut in the concrete, so you can dig a hole for the post, not the total size of the footing:eek: which would be a lot of concrete

Cheers

It's the sideways restraint of the soil against the concrete that will stop the whole thing from being blown over and as soil is relatively soft stuff particularly when wet, a large bearing area , meaning 600x 600 hole , is needed in order to achieve the adequate restraint .
