Dear PH.

My garden gate gets slammed by the wind and Im fed up of fixing it. I would also like it to self close.

I can find springs to close it automatically but having problems fining something that will make it close slowly or at least slower. Any ideas?

If that fails, tie the missus to the gate post.
