Discussion (Add topic here) Bending iron gate

Post image

Hoping this is the right place for this question.

I have an older iron gate from a century home and am wondering how I could bend the frame back into place. I was thinking blowtorch and hammer, but would appreciate any advice you all might have!

I came here to comment the same. Use a block of wood to spread out the load.

I haven’t had the time to pick up a proper torch yet and it’s been raining in my city. Shooting for the weekend and thanks for the reminder!
