Hi guys, anyone know of a source of very heavy duty hinges for gates which are essentially a ground-mounted pivot which sits UNDER the gate.
I am making some screens / gates to fit under a brick arch, so obviously hinging from the side is not possible. I need to hinge the bottom somehow.
The gates are a pair, each of which is 5 foot high / wide (so a form a semi-circle 10 foot wide in total). I can put the hinges a foot or so in from the corner to help with balancing the moments, but they'll need to be pretty beefy due to the reasonably high mass of the design.
Ta, Al.
