Measure between your posts and allow the following clearances:

• Deduct 5 to 10 mm clearance each side of a SINGLE gate
• Deduct 5 to 10 mm clearance each side of a DOUBLE gate as well as
• 10 to 15 mm clearance between the two halves.

Measure the height of your post and allow for clearance under the gate:

• If ground is level then 50 mm is plenty
• If ground is unlevel then larger clearance may
  be needed

First, decide how you want your gate to swing

INWARD swinging gates:
fix hinges to BACK of post

OUTWARD swinging gates:
fix hinges to FRONT of post

For single gates you will also need to decide if your gate will swing from the LEFT or RIGHT post.
