Double Straps not only hang the gate, they strengthen and support the gate. By sandwiching the lumber between the straps the corner of the gate is effectively locked at 90 degrees to prevent sagging and distortion. Ideal for Heavy Gates such as Double Drive Gates, Ranch Gates, Heavy Picket Gates, and Dumpster Enclosures.
This hardware is ideal for use with wood gates.

Hung Between the Posts
Gates hung between the posts can be hung on either a square or round post. Allow for a 5" space between the gate and the post (on hinge side) so that there is enough room for adjustment when it is necessary. The commonest pin used for this type of installation is the full threaded with nut and washer on either side of the post (#8800). Do not forget to leave the space at the other end of the gate to accommodate the kind of latch that is being used.
Hung Behind the Posts
If the gate is hung behind the posts the gate is constructed so it is at least 1" wider than the opening between the posts. Square posts are recommended. Pins with square shaft (#8317) should be used to prevent pin rotation along with the Adjustable Bottom Fitting (#8250), which allows for easy adjustment of the gate height at the latch end. There are several advantages which include:
Here are some great pictures from a customer who built these beautiful wood barrier gates for two national parks. Scott chose to use the high quality Snug Cottage Double Strap Hinges and Gate Hangers on Plates to hang these heavy duty gates. One of these gates is for a national park in Millinocket, Maine and the other is In Boonville, NY.
Great Job Scott! Keep up the outstanding work!

We used Hoover fence as our go-to for specialty gate hardware in difficult environments. They offer outstanding quality products and exceptional service.
Hoover helped to adjust my order when an item was out of stock and thus allows me to continue on with my project without delay. A project that they took enough interest in to ask to see pictures. Very thankful!
Great service and quality products.
The hinge is massive and should last a very long time.
Very nice, heavy duty gate hinges. Very happy with your product.
