How to keep a gap between the gate and the post ?

Question

I have a colourbond gate, one end to the post and the other end to the wall. After I installed for a while, the post start to stick to the gate. How can I keep a gap between the post and the gate?

Answer 1

Sounds like the gate isn't secured properly for its weight.You need to strengthen the pivot point or add a hanger to the non pivot(to hold up the end) side or add a support roller to the non pivot side

Answer 2

what i did is ran a support board from the top of the gate post to the wall and no more sagging.

Answer 3

Either the gate is sagging or the hinges need to be readjusted. If it is in a damp location and there wasn't much clearance between the gate and post there could be swelling of the post causing it to bind.
