Gate Advice

Hi Reddit DIY I installed my gate, but it's a few mm too close together. I've been looking for a solution, and I think the best one is to drill out the rivets, shorten the spars just a touch then reassemble it all. The gates are made from PVC and have a aluminium post inside for added strength. However things don't go right for me, whether I plan it or wing it (suffered a TBI a few years ago), so I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the best way to solve this! submitted by /u/Endures [link] [comments]
