I am in the process of fitting a 6' x 3' gate at the side of my house.
It was previously hanging from a 4x4 post that is now rotten (and I have now dug it out) - the gate bolted and closed against my garage wall brick pillar.
I was thinking of reversing the installation by using an adjustable hook and band hinge arrangement this time and have the hook screwed /attached straight onto to the brick pillar - the other side of the gate would then close against the replacement 4x4 post that I will install.
Will this work OK?
What size/length hinge should I get?
Can I bolt the hook part so that it faces straight out from the side of the garage - but if I did this would the gate not just swing open in both directions?
Many thanks
