I recently put a fence and didn't quite think it through properly. I
used a 75mm post for a gate supports and it really should have been
bigger (you live you learn). Although it won't fall down it does have
a slight wobble at the top when closing the gate. I am considering
methods for strengthening the gate without replacing the post (which
the wife will go nuts about as she's been waiting for the fence for a
while).

take it out, do it again, properly. as you say, you live and learn.

oh, and if your wife goes "nuts" over something trivial like a gate post
instead of something serious like whoring, gambling & boozing perhaps
you ought to leave the old harridan and take up whoring, gambling &
boozing before it's too late ;-)
