need advice on gate

[8ballz73]

how's it going everybody,new to this forum and looking for a little help on making my first side gate.Here's my situation,the gate is going to go on the side of the garage and the neighbors wall. The problem i have is that the width on top from garage to wall measures 64" & the bottom measures 63" because the garage wall is not level but the neighbors wall is level,what would be the best way to set up the side post to make it look professional? By the way,I'm using 2" square tubing for the posts. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

thanks!!!!!!!!!

I'd use adjustable gate hinges so you can tweek it til it looks right. Over that sort of distance you could lose 1/2" either side and probably never even notice it!

If you are using a post next to the garage wall, set the post vertical and maybe cover the gap with thin plate welded to the front of the post.

Adjustable hinges, loose a bit on the catch side, and a bit more on the hinge side. You will barely notice it on the hinge side.

125mm lost is our record on a pair of double drive gates. Hardly noticable.
