Gates help

[cawright1]

Hi all, my gate is catching in the middle when opening both sides. Seems the blocks have risen up. What's best way to tackle this ? I really don't fancy relaying a load of blocks as that could be a can of worms. Suggestions?

- Adjust [or re-position] the hinges
- Chop the bottom off the gate
- Fix the blocks.
Pick your poison.

Easy options.....

If the hinge pins allow it by being tall enough, you can add metal washers to them. This will raise the gate slightly and prevent it from rubbing.

You could use a multi tool to remove a small amount from the bottom areas of the stile that are catching.

Remove and refit the hinges.

All other options are much more difficult.
