Hey everyone! I'm in Arizona, and my gate has taken a beating from the high winds we get during storms. The bottom fastener has completely fallen out, the top one is nearly gone, and the middle bolt is loose enough that it slides in and out of the wall if I lift the gate. Right now, the gate is angled down and resting on the ground, making it really difficult to open. Does anyone have tips on how I can fix this? Should I be filling it with something, drilling new holes, or what? Thanks!

It sounds like you need to take the gate off its hinges and remove those old anchors. I'd recommend installing some larger wedgelock anchors to really secure it. If you want it to last, using a concrete anchor epoxy along with those wedgelocks would be a good idea!
I’m not too experienced with this kind of stuff. Is this the right anchor I should be looking at? https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-2-in-x-4-1-4-in-Carbon-Steel-Stainless-Still-Wedge-Hex-Head-46lbs-Wedge-Anchor-25-Pack-502TS25/312743733
