    if the post in not placed straight in the ground that the hinges if welded too, the gate will close on its own due to gravity. That is one way to make any door self closing.

      Great video you blokes. Here in Australia if you’re having trouble locating those tiny screws, we say, put a bit of hair around it!

    We used to have a chain attached to a pole with a brake drum over it.

    I've done self closing gates for years with standard hinges by offsetting the bottom hinge an inch to the opening side. No welding, no springs, no need to buy yee-haw, woop-de-doo self closing hinges.
    I guess I been doing it wrong these 40 years...

      The offset hinge works well but offends my aesthetic sensibilities. I really like the big bulky spring-loaded hinges with the tiny set screws - that way you can open the gate without it screeching and alerting the cows.

      I understand the idea of self closing gates...But what if you're alone, and need to drive through it?

    I was thinking you should put two spring hinges on it and that would help it shut.

    you reckon the slam latch would work on double gates?

    • @SWiFence
      @SWiFence  3 месяца назад +1

      It could work on a double gate, although one gate would still have to have a drop rod.

    • @SWiFence

      A valid question. You'd have to prop it open on your way through. If you usually drive through your gates by yourself it might not be the best fit.

    If it only opens one way, weld one of the releases so it cant be swung the wrong way. 🙃😉😊😁

    No offense but do you guys still build fences with all the videos you do? Do you still have a fence company?

      Ha! You bet. We actually just squeeze videos in here and there.
