The translating device generally includes a first end attached to the gatepost and a second end attached to one of the plurality of rails, wherein the adjustable force may be provided by a turnbuckle positioned there between. The gate may further include a ground anchor system that allows axial rotation of the plurality of rails about the gatepost.
