This gate does not need a mezuzah scroll, since it does not have a mezuzah (door post frame with a lintel). The requirements for what constitutes a door post are found in Yoreh Deah 287. Even in this picture where there is a roof on top, since it is not connected,rather a different entity,therefore no mezuzah scroll is needed. However according to the Rambam Hilchos Sukkah 4:4 where he explains that if the the extended detached roof is within 3 tefachim of the lower wall (which is 10 tefachim) it is kosher. I need to reevaluate this case.
