What, are you channeling JC?

Actually, I don't really know how heavy the gate will be. 500 just seemed like a good round number. I found a bunch of weld-on gate hinges online... but none of them allow me to open the gate past 90deg outwards. I need a more traditional swaged hinge, like you'd use on a regular door in your house, but just massively super-sized. Or I need to redesign the gate with some big exposed metal bars to hinge off of, which I'd like to avoid because I want the gate to blend into the rest of the fence.
