fence treatment

Hiya all we have just had a new fence made and erected from floorboard wood(hope that makes sense!) but on the day it was finshed it poured down and the gate has swelled by about half an inch, meaning the catch wont fit on right.
The builder said to wait till it drys out and goes back to shape before treating it, but due to work commitments its either today or saturday , and what if it tips it down in the mean time?
so my question is can i treat a wet fence or should it be bone dry!
thanx

Make sure it's dry.
Can you remove the gate temporarily and put it indoors (shed/garage) for a few days to dry out?0 -
