Hello. I’m not sure what kind of gate this is, it was here when I moved in but as you can see, it has started to rot. Is this fixable or would it be a new gate? It looks to be one fixed gate if that makes sense! Thanks.

It needed a cap on the top of the uprights, and more rounded on the top to stop water pooling there, just make sure the replacement doesnt make those mistakes
 
It looks like the gate may be repairable depending on how extensive the rot is, especially around the posts, hinges, and frame. If the timber has deteriorated too far, replacing the gate may be the better long-term option. Arlington Expert Gate can assess the existing gate and advise whether a gate repair or a new replacement would be the most practical solution.
Shouldnt cost much to ship it to Old Blighty eh old chap!
 
The term "yank" more or less went out of use in 1945 ie its dated.
It was rarely used even when the USA provided Britain with "Stinger" SAM's during the Falklands War.
The digital device you are now using was invented & developed by the same US.
