Depending on the height of the post on the left, you may be able to install a lintel (a piece of wood above the gate). Force it in and it may push the wall plate right against the wall and force the post away from the gate allowing the gate to close. Then in the summer, plane the timber down on...

There is a chance that the gate will drop over time as the hinges should ideally be on the left. If you have no other choice I would probably get some good adjustable hinges like these -...

I'm sure you are already on to it but after you have loosened the soil using the post hole digger above. The following will allow you to get the soil out of the hold without making a large hole. Hope it is going well.

This type of bracket is best. It screws into the fence post and then the board is attached to the bracket - https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/product/sc_645000/pack-of-jakclips-to-attach-panels-to-posts-4-clips-and-11-nails The cheaper option that will work is to attach a piece of treated...

As Slawit said, dig around the Postcrete and add more. Not an easy job though. Did you tamp the postcrete, when adding more, make sure you give it a good tamp.

Have you looked for angled fence posts? Can change direction between 30 -45 degrees - https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/product/sc_667881nc/slotted-30-45-degree-angled-corner-post might work best and less faff trying to chisel away parts of posts or panels

Also, remember to tamp the Postcrete down. The surface, use a trowel to slope the Postcrete away from the posts. This means its less likely for water to puddle and rot the posts.

The replies above are good. One thing I would add. Remember adjustable hook and band hinges and install a 10mm gap all around. This means that if the gate drops, you can adjust the hinges.

The property deeds or drawings should indicate ownership of the fence with a small ‘T’ mark. If you see an ‘H’, this signifies a shared boundary. As others have mentioned, even if your neighbour owns the boundary, they are not necessarily required to install a proper fence. Additionally, the...

Fence design will play a major role in how the fence will fair in windy conditions. Open designs like hit and miss work best. Heavy duty posts should be used, can get them in 125mm x 125mm at Jacksons. You got to install them deep into the ground for best support. I'd go for wooden posts so you...

It is not great. The finish material doesn't look terrible. Looks like edpm, so probably wont leak but the internal structure looks like DIY job that would be OK for a shed but not near building regs..

We run a family business, and part of what we do is fence installation. As my dad is getting older, he’s found it more challenging to install the heavier posts and fences, so we've started using more Duraposts. However, being on the coast means we are often dealing with strong winds. We have...
