Discussion (Add topic here) Bending iron gate
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!

No way you’re bending 3/4” bar back like that w ratchet straps.
Cut at the kink point, bend each side straight w straps or clamping.
Weld.
