Hey man, I like the design but correct my if i am wrong here, shouldn't your diagonal bracing be going the other direction? The whole point of the brace is to take the cantilevered weight from the far end of the gate and transfer it down to the bottom hinge on the post and down to the ground.
It's highly likely this gate will sag over time.
I think if you are doing a tension brace you should use a threading adjustable tension rod. But you seem to be using wood as a tension brace when it should be used as a compression brace.


EDIT: In fact yes, i believe your bracing is backwards.
