Which hinges shall I use?

A diagonal brace on the gate would be a good idea.
One day it will all be firewood.

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

+ 1 for diagonal bracing, from the hinge side upwards.
