Everyone says they'll try it but has anyone actually tried it and it actually worked it's a good idea but I haven't seen anybody say that it actually worked

Hi, I appreciated your fence video. Mine is bowing at the bottom going out away from yard, gapped at the bottom. Would I use the strap the same way you did? Thanks

My door is only 3 weeks old. I’ll try this when we have rain in the forecast. Right now it’s just dry heat. Mine is bowed 6 inches same spot as yours. Did you install your boards wet? Mine were super wet fresh batch of wood. I wonder if only using dried wood upon installation would help. Not sure.

So what's the update on this patch? Once you took the strap off did the door stay straight or did it bow back again over time?

Thank you so much! How can I do that to fix a bowed Board?

[EurocatGames]

How long do you need to leave the ratchet strap on the door after it brings it back into alignment? Forever?

[princemack]

How do you think it got warped, in the rain, sun and other weather is going to warp again put a cable on it

I’m surprised it didn’t rip or break your fence board, You can also get a piece of angle iron and screw it on the same diagonal on the back of the fence and you don’t have to worry about it warping back. You can also just screw a 2x6 vertically on one post where it’s protruding to make the gate sit perfectly in the closed position, acting as a door stop. You can also push the gate in the perfect closed position and not protrude by screwing a 2x4 from post to post where the warp is sticking out past it, making it sit perfectly in closed position while it starts to straight itself out. All easy methods. The angle iron method is probably the best because it ensures that the gate will never warp that way again

In Texas here. I thought my gate was bowed until I noticed that it was the 4x4 post on the hinged side that bowed & twisted. Now I have to replace that 4x4. I was going crazy for a while.😡

[charliepermenter]

It would be better to go ahead and put a dried treated 2x4 on the back side. Don't take it all apart but lay it over there "frame" and screw it in to each runner.

Nice fix, just put a strap on my gate.
