Metal Gate & Posts: 96 inches plus 3 inches for barrel hinge plus 1 inch for clearance at non hinged post if hinge is mounted INSIDE between the posts. If a flat hinge is flat mounted on outside of post and gate, instead of 3 inches, use the width of the hinge ferrell (the raised ridge in the middle where the two sides of the hinge pivot).
Wooden Gate & Posts: Same.
If the hinges are mounted inside between the posts the above distances will let the gate swing 90 degrees or slightly less depending on the thickness of the post and the gate material. If you want to have gate swing a little further, either mount barrel hinges toward one side of the post or increase the hinge distance from 3 inches to a distance sufficient to permit the edge of the gate to clear the width of the post as it opens.

How do I go about building a wheelchair ramp?

You must first draw out a plan and have it approved by the local building commission. Next, measure out and mark spots equal distance apart for the post supports. Dig a hole roughly a foot and a half deep for each of the marked posts. Place wooden posts in the holes with steel supports on two sides. Refill the hole with dirt and fill the area with gravel. Place wooden exterior bases over the posts to form an "outline" of the ramp. Fill the middle with lengthwise planks made of Redwood or Cedar, nailing each plank to the external outline. Be sure to test the planks after completition. Seal the wood with sealant to prevent damage. You may add a railing using addition 2x4 and attaching them to the external planks.
