Side Gate Renovation

Looking for solutions to fix this side gate. It is quite a heavy gate and is beginning to sag due to the amount of weight. This is reducing it's ability to open more than a few inches before rubbing the concrete ground. Would it be best to:

 

- Take out the hinges, realign the gate again and install the hinges again (doesn't stop this happening again).

- Take out the gate and replace it with a lighter frame, something similar to https://www.bunnings.com.au/specrite-1833-x-900mm-pre-oiled-merbau-horizontal-slat-gate_p8500232 and using a panel (something like https://www.bunnings.com.au/specrite-1800-x-600mm-pre-oiled-merbau-garden-fence-panel_p8500298) to space it as needed.

Open to any suggestions.
