Hello
I'm new to the forum and quite a novice when it comes to fence repairs ( being female!! ). I had my fence and gate replaced maybe nine years ago. They were installed by a reputable firm and I have maintained them properly however I have noticed the posts either side of the gate ( full height ) have moved and when I checked one of the wooden posts appears to have cracked right across the bottom so it's moving. Either side of the two posts supporting the gate are the concrete posts which also take the fence sections , they slot in. Is there any way I can repair the wobbly post by means of attaching it full length to the adjacent concrete post - maybe with cable ties or similar? Thanks in anticipation.
