As I see it, the problem with your gates is that the hinges need to be in perfect alignment in order for them to not put a twist into the plane of the gate. Using the hinges like mine would help in that they don't do that. The bottom hinge supports the weight and top one is used to align the tilt. Get some of those adjustable steel frames and go to town on the garage floor. That's where I built mine since it's the most level concrete I have. Took me about 4 hours to remake my gate when I had to replace it due to TERMITES eating the boards. My brother's-in-law built my first gate as I was working on the fence. Getting the steel frame saved my bacon as it's easy to get it right. Once you get the hinges hung the face boards go right on.
