spiral gate hindges

[johnakay]

does anyone who knows where I can get a set of these for the outside wooden gate..
not the normal one for internal ,I have thought of welding arms but??
we had the back garden sorted which has raised it up by about 1.5".
I dont want a gap that big at the bottom of the gate.

This any good to you.

what I'm looking for is this type or similar with Rising etc.

I was looking for some last week, couldn't find any without paying 50 quid per hinge, I just fitted normal loop and pin ones and sat them on some tapered washers so they rise as they open.

thanks anyway.
I dont think they exist so I'll stick with what I made years ago.
at least I can lift the gate off for painting etc.
at the moment on the old gate I have a door brush thing.
dont know what the correct name for them,think draft excluder?
I'll see if there is any wider ones.
our drive with it being a long shared drive we tend to get wind turbulence bringing all the leaves and other rubbish.
the accumelate and get under the gate etc.

If you offset the bottom hinge out the way by chocking it, then when it swings open it will tilt the other end of the gate upwards. It will also mean it will self close. The closer you put the hinges to each other the great the angle it will swing upwards.

Won't help if you need the back of the gate lifted as well as the front though.

You don't even have to taper the washers, you could just tack two with one side lifted.
