I've been making a featheredge garden gate this weekend, and have just
got to fit the diagonal bracing. Most gates I've seen in the Sheds and
garden centres have the diagonals parallel - bottom left to centre
right, and centre left to top right. One or two have them meeting in the
middle - bottom left to centre right, and centre right to top left.

Any reason one should be better than the other?
