Either swing the doors outwards (downhill), or turn them into the 'gull
wing' variety where they swing upwards sideways.

variety where they swing upwards sideways.

I would not usually bother replying to a HOH post, but....

If the drive rises up from the gate closed position and the gate needs
to open in and rise to clear the drive, then the pivot point of the
lower hinge needs to be set back up the drive, in relation to the upper
hinge. How much the pivot point needs to be set back, depends on how
high the gate needs to rise to clear the drive, the length of the gate
and the distance between the two hinge points. I simply added angle
iron pieces to both gate post and gate to move both attachment hinge
points where I needed them.

I worked my offset out by trial and error - hang it on the upper hinge,
Then see how far you need to offset the lower hinge point, to get it to
clear the drive. The gate will lean at an angle when open, but should
be perfectly vertical when closed. My gates are all metal, as are the
gate posts, so it was easy to weld in the angle pieces for the lower
hinges.

GB submitted this idea :
http://www.angelfire.com/mech/zymotic/2060802.JPG

Sigh, it's on HOH!

Ah, someone else had exactly the same idea ;o)

I had a company make and install my gates, but they had obviously never
come across the need for gates to open uphill and rise as they open. I
had to fathom out a way to do it, show them how to offset the hinges
and do the tests to determine how much the offset needed to be.

Not really feasible with a gate that opens onto a road
or street with the hill going up away from the street.

I've heard of rising butts, but.....

Only works for the more gentle hills.

What does work fine is a sliding gate instead of a hinged one.

Much better IMO to have a sliding gate.

It is - and at the same time, not too difficult to design the hinge
offsets for any given hill. I like it.

I've seen this before and it is also useful for doors opening into a

My point is that I looked on HOH, which shows this NG from 2005, where
you posted the link to your photo. So, all the OP had to do was scroll
down a bit, and he'd have found the photo he was asking for.

Not surprising as the thread started in 2005. Why is the bottom panel
of the gate wedge-shaped? Is it just arty farty design?

I guess there is also a cross-slope, and they want the gate to
follow the ground level. The sort of thing to do to keep dogs in
(or rabbits out).

Chris

At our local allotments, the gate has a triangular hinged panel at the
bottom to keep the local rabbit population away. When opening the gate tou
simply pull a cord to raise it off the ground.
