How do I make the gates in my fence work properly?
)
October 4th, 2016
I am constructing a wood fence on a slope. The posts are, of course vertical.
If I mount a gate to the post with the hinges horizontally, when I open the gate it will run into the slope before it is fully opened.
Is there a way to mount the hinges so that when the gate opens it will swing upward following the slope of the hill?
What if I mount the hinges parallel with the slope, will that work? Is there a mathematical formula I can use? The hinge pins need to be in line with each other but can I offset them from the space (crack) between the gate and the fence perhaps?
