Right! After, frankly, way too much work, I once again have a garden gate which opens properly and easily both ways, and which closes and latches properly and easily. I don't love the galvanised steel gatepost, but it should not need to be replaced again in my lifetime.

My re-hung garden gate, open. Behind it, the short frosty turf of my meadows stretch away to the horizon; a few black cattle graze under a blue sky.
My gate, closed, from the outside. The strainer post is noticably squint, which I'm not at all proud about, but it's good enough. In the foreground, the old posts lie on the frosty ground.
