The wire didn't shrink, so the tension it produced must have been able
to move the posts. Brace the posts properly (or replace them if loose
or rotted, then a "square" gate will fit.

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?

Thanks,
