SoCal Dave Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Did you allow for sag and if so, how much? Did you incorporate any adjustment for sag as time passes? Some more pictures of the hinges, etc would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I worry about sag too; an adjustable top hinge to deal with it is a common thing when the design doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Y Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 The plate that I had bent to mount on the pillar is made out of 1/2 x 4 plate. The plate joggels out 4 inches from the pillar. The gate hinges pass through plate and have nuts on both sides so any sag can be compensated for. I bolted through the top, bottom and middle. In the middle I welded a pipe 4 inches long so the bolt passes through the pipe and into the pillar. I tightened the bolt to the point the pipe touches the pillar. I hope this explination helps. The attached rough diagram should help too. Thanks, John Hinge design.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camero68 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Simple and elegant! Great design, very well made which suits the house and will last for many years. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtownAndrew Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Very nice! I think that if you could have worked in a diagonal element, from the top hinge corner to the far bottom corner, you wouldn't have to worry about it sagging more than the adjustment you have in the hinge bolts. However something like that would be noticeable and so would require a different design to incorporate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikecopXXX Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 That looks really good. If I may ask, what does a project like that go for? And what portion is material? Thx Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
