If the posts are absolutely vertical and it's the gates themselves that are
warped, you can use turnbuckles to bring them back straight.
I don't hold much long term hope for that process unless you leave the
turnbuckles in place.
Go for 1" angle iron (or similar) and bolt it as a diagonal on the gates..
OP said that one of the posts is not plumb. I think that's a synonym for
vertical.
OP said that one of the posts is not plumb.
Actually, OP said that *both* posts are not plumb.
"The fence posts are not plumb when you stand at the gate opening and
look left and right. One tilt forward a bit and one tilt backward a
bit."
