Yes I think that might work well. A block of wood fixed to the wall and another fixed to it so it can rotate and hold the gate in place. Saves buying anything other than some long screws to fix the wood to the wall, I'm pretty sure I have some offcuts of wood that will be the right thickness.

While I know some magnets can be really powerful, I'd rather not risk it as this gate blocks entry to the back garden and last time it blew shut in the wind several panels popped out of the gate and it was a royal PITA to refit them (part of one shattered).

The wind usually blows down the side of the house from the back to the front, so it wouldn't take too much to blow the gate off a magnet. The gate has already broken once (composite panels popped out). I'd rather have something that physically "clips" it to the wall. I'm pretty sure a gate...

The gate frame is thick metal and I really don't want to fix anything to it. I was thinking of something like an upside down U shaped piece of metal attached to the wall, with a slot where it's attached to the wall, so it can be slid up, the gate opened and then slid down over the frame of the...

Thanks everyone. That metal frame is really thick and I'd rather not drill into it, was hoping to find something I could attach to the wall and hold the gate in place. Best I can think of is something like an L shaped piece of metal that is hinged on the wall and can be lowered onto the gate to...

I'm struggling to find a solution to keeping my garden gate open, have Googled lots of ways bit not found anything that will work. Hopefully someone on here will have an idea. I kind of know what I want, something that will fix to the wall and hold a metal framed gate with composite boards open...
