Yes, its longer than the opening (because the post was not in line with the opening and I didn’t want it to swing through the other way), yes, the post is not level, yes, I should probably not have used an existing fence post, no, I will not be fixing it. But look at the fit on the diagonal. MINT



Nice heavy hardware! I‘d be tempted to add a wire, with a turnbuckle, going diagonally the other way. No matter how solid my gates start out, they always seen to eventually need some additional support against sagging.
I’m partial to adjusting gates like that myself but I wanted to try just doing a really tight fit with wood. I may go back and add something later. Why do it right the first time when you can do it twice later?
Ah yes, the tried and true “measure once and cut twice” approach.
