How do some people sleep at night?! I was asked to look at a gate that had dropped and needed to be lifted in order to open/close it. Original company, who installed it 12 months ago, were contacted but apparently didn't want to know!
The post that supported the gate was only in the ground a couple of inches (see photo). The rest of the "support" came from it being fixed to an existing concrete fence post.
There is a new imprinted concrete drive & path that the customer didn't want disturbed so my options were slightly limited. I discussed available options with the customer who decided to have the concrete post replaced with a steel one, at a proper depth, then brace the panel to that, along with the wall at the front.
Job done and the gate is swinging again!!
Get in touch if you need any repairs or alterations 👍
