Gate between concrete walls

When I put a door in here, to me it looks like it needs something to attach to inside those red rectangles.  Can someone show me the correct way to draw this?

It's a 36" gate between two concrete walls, one parallel to the gage, one perpendicular to the gate.

Indeed it should. Universally speaking, as I am in Australia and not the US. But you are correct.

It depends on how you placed the gate.

I would insert the gate like a door is inserted. That would show the jambs that are missing.

See whoever else comments closer to home for you.

It depends on gate design and hardware chosen for latch.

If latch sticks out past door the it would hit that wallprior to closing so you would narrow gate width and maybe add a block behind the latch catch on wall.

I have seen it done many ways and all depends on hardware.

 

Now in HD would add jamb made from 2x4 pressure treated.

Try drawing a railing at the height of your gate in that area. Depending on the material needed to be used, you can make the railing solid, panel, balusters, etc. Then add your gate to the railing just put in there. Depending on the blocking you want to mount it on, likely a 2x PT, deduct 3" from the total width for your gate size and center it in the railing.
