Hi
I made a garden gate using garden fence as in photo. The frames are made of 3"X3" fence post.
Which hinges shall I use?

A diagonal brace on the gate would be a good idea.

Tee hinge or a long hinge help with the weight also it helps brace the gate

AJ Is correct it needs some diagonal to give it strength
