Figured you knew the gate hinge adjustment thing...
One thing we do is....... always when the gate it shut... it is up a little bit, on a rock so that it is not pulling down on the hinges while "hanging" shut. Seems to slow down the "gravitational" pull down.
One other thing, you can add a hinge and hinge pin to the gate so it has 3... you can buy the ones that clamp on gates.... sometimes they get broken off so make a clamp on replacement... sometimes it helps hold the weight better...
