This galvanised field gate hinge set has an off-set bottom pivot point (rocker plate) which causes the swinging end of a field gate to rise as it opens. The rising effect allows the gate to open on an incline. The off-set pivot point causes the gate to return to the centre when not held in the open position, this works as a self-closing mechanism. This type of hinge is often used for pedestrian field gates to ensure that gates aren't accidentally left open.
The rising effect is more prominent with longer gates. The approximate rise (at the swinging end) is 75mm per metre of gate width - e.g. if fitted to a 10' (3.05m) gate, the rise at the swinging end is approx. 229mm.
Suitable for hanging 75mm thick wooden field gates, this hinge this type of hinge can only be fitted between posts (not on the back of posts), which allows the gate to swing forward and backwards.

1x 600mm (24") double strap top band
1x bottom gate fitting with rocker plate
1x field gate hook to bolt
