10 Easy Pieces: Gate Braces

February 12, 2019

After some years, it’s inevitable that a garden gate—be it made of wood, vinyl, or composite—is going to sag, and drag, just a little. To update your gate, you’ll need an adjustable steel or wire brace, connecting the top and bottom of the gate on a diagonal. Here are our favorite options.

The Everbilt Anti-Sag Gate Kit can be consistently updated by adjusting wire tension; \$\1\1.98 at The Home Depot.

The Nationwide Industries Black Steel Adjustable Gate Brace Kit for vinyl and wood is \$4\2.99 at Amazon.

Made of tubular steel and powder-coated to resist the elements, the Gate Brace is 43 inches wide. (It is not intended for “corner to corner” installation; see photo for illustration). The brace kit comes with four wood screws and six self-tapping metal screws for installation; \$38.95 from Amazon.
