Anyway to flatten without impacting finish and rest of gate?

I can't exactly envision how it is warped but it may be possible to
add a permanent cable brace diagionally with a turnbuckel to pull it
into flat.


Right there with you.


I think he meant warped face, as in the gate, if placed "flat" on the
ground, had a high corner.


Hey, how deep does the latch post need to be in albuquerque when
surrounded by some of the hardest things I've ever dug through?


30-36", with cement. And do not disturb areas outside the basic hole.
I'm told that even caliche still gets loose when wet. (mud)
