For medium/steep slopes over a hard surface, purchase with no plate and core drill.

You need 2 gate posts for each gate: 2 BLANKS, 2 ENDS OR 1 OF EACH. BLANK Gate Posts are square, aluminum, powder coated posts with no holes routed in them. An END Gate Post is routed on one side and connects to one fence panel in line with the gate or at 90 degrees. i.e. a Gate Post – END can “act” as a corner post if your gate is positioned at a corner of your barrier.
