    Any advice on best way of hanging a 14 foot gate off this wall? Will be closed onto a removable post.

    Was thinking of drilling and setting 2 gate hangers in the cavity blocks.

    Any better ideas?

    Thanks.

    Have gates hung like that years.

    Threaded bar through wall and large plate or washer on inside.

    How do you get access to behind lower block for lower down hanging part to put wall plate in?

    Do you knock out the lower block to fit the lower gate hanger in? Top one is accessible but the lower one will be hard to access.

    We drilled hole right through block from one side to the other, threaded bar right through, hanger welded on gate side, a plate and nut threaded onto other end of threaded bar.

    What Brian suggested is your best bet and will be strongest, if you are stuck for access to outside wall, you could use block anchors, note, block anchors are different to through bolts that you would use in a mass concrete wall.
    With block anchors you'd drill hole a bit longer than your anchor without the need to drill right through the block, hammer into hole and tighten sleeve.

    Have you attached wrong image? I am assuming that wall is only 6-7 blocks high.

    Cavity block will hold nothing , best stand hanging pole and concrete it in

    And you could leave a bypass between pole and wall.

    I can’t understand that.

    For last 12-15 years we have a feed barrier in slatted shed hung on a cavity block wall using the exact same system amd it’s perfect. A gate is no bother.

    Maybe if it’s a badly built wall, ours are plastered both sides.
