Anyone battle the settling problem with a connecting beam under the ground between the posts, instead of spanning over it? Of course it wont look as good as an arch.

Yeah, it just popped in my head while reading the last few posts here. Also brace posts on either side would help too. I have only built a couple of small gates though, so I'm not a fence/gate pro.
Ones with arches I have seen look good, but I can see sooner or later needing to move something tall through. Another alternative could be an auxiliary gate down the fence somewhere.

Is that where it is?
No sir, unfortunately we don't hunt the place outside of Cuero anymore. This place is some family land that I inherited between Fredericksburg and Kerrville.
