The vertical post is leaning away from the side of my house causing the gate to the backyard to sag a bit. The post itself looks fine. No decay , rots, or damage. Can i use a metal bracket, drill it to my brick wall to make it stand straight ? Any other ways guys?
 
Brick are not considered structural for connectors, I'd reset the post either deeper and in better compaction, or in concrete.
 
Im too lazy to dig. Was hoping to avoid busting out the shovel but it looks like im gonna have the. Thanks
 
How big is the gate? Put a wheel on the outer end to take the weight off the post.
