Yes, its longer than the opening (because the post was not in line with the opening and I didn't want it to swing through the other way), yes, the post is not level, yes, I should probably not have used an existing fence post, no, I will not be fixing it. But look at the fit on the diagonal. MINT
I don't quite understand if you're attempting to be humorous or not. However, I disagree and most definitely think the diagonal does help the structural integrity so the far top angle doesn't open up.
