The wire on our garden fence has pulled the posts
on both sides of the gate area apart by 1 1/4 inches.
What makes the most sense, to build the picket gate to
fit the skewed proportions, or go ahead and build a
square gate and let there be a 1 1/4 gap at the top?

Fix the posts first. There is only one RIGHT way.
