Post Stiffener:

When you are installing a gate, a special stiffener is required inside the post that supports the gate. One Post Stiffener is included with each gate that you purchase. If your project requires extra Post Stiffeners, please review the options shown below to select the correct Post Stiffener. The Post Stiffener is required to assure that the post supporting a gate will not lean over time. Also, it provides the screws that attach the hinge to the post added holding power to prevent the hinge from eventually loosening
