Nicely done however you will notice that the gate is now warped. The upper rail is leaning toward the street leaving an unsightly gap. There's a couple of solutions: a) install another diagonal cable going the opposite direction, and b) trim the rails and install vertical 2x4 framing, then replace the narrow diagonal braces with a single 1x6 brace.
Sorry dude cause u seem like a nice guy but that fence was in alot of trouble. Horrible mildew n dirt, i mean it was green grew mould dirty... if fixing step 1 would have been power wqsh at minimum or better yet get chemicqls... step 2 it wqs badly warped as the bottom went beyond closing n yet the top didnt get there ... that fence should be cleaned n brightened n then alot of stain since i can see from another universe its thirsty. A little proper real life maintenance without making you tube vids ... though u r photo genetic .. bottom line a HGTV star possible (for looks) but Bob Villa actual handyman not

I did something like this and it made my gate worse. Thought it would be an easy fix. I got the set that comes with the metal triangle corners.
Good job
Nice presentation!
It is a great simple video and repair pointers.
the best solution I seen and the least work 👍
The eyelets should be installed underneath and on top of the rails so they don't pull out under the tension.
So sag is fixed, but What about the warp?
😅
I think he’s lifted a weight or two. Just a hunch .
Mickey mouse fix. No insult. It will need adjusting all the time. But for a while it will work. Like a guitar string it loses tension and needs tuning
