- This week we tried building corrals, got distracted by a truck project, came back the following weekend to finish up. Our 360 degree swinging gate idea failed - oh well - but we continue to slowly push ahead. We are finally ready to start back with our favorite task - digging post holes!
If someone else knows how to build a 360 degree swinging gate - please let us know in the comments below.

If those hinges get bent. Use 1/2 x 4 strap or weld straps on both sides.
I think (?), If you welded the collars (the ones with the zerk fittings) to the gate. The collar on the post should turn freely... Maybe ? But I've got Drain Bandage so what the heck do I know, lol 🤪
Ps... I just saw your answer to another post... Please ignore my brain fart 🥴
We appreciate the advice! I think there will have to be a part 2 to this video, taking another swing (pun intended) at the hinge design.
Maybe I'm missing something but if you just welded the square plate steel directly from the 1&7/8" pipe on the gate to the 2&7/8" collar that rotates around the 2&3/8" upright you easily have a rotating gate. I've built a bunch of them. But then again, I may be missing something.
It seemed like it should have worked, but when the gate was hanging it would drop about 8” on the far side and bind.
Why would you use 2 hinges with that thin bracket between them?
The gate welded straight to the collars that were around the post should have worked just fine.
If I was seeing what I thought I was seeing.
In theory, that would give us a gate that would swing all the way around and fold flat against either side of the fence. Without the second hinge, it won't.
@@FarmandRanchHacks if you need that extra space weld a another tube from the top hinge to the bottom hinge inbetween where the spacing bracket was.
I think you may have just solved our problem.
Lol - I did the exact same thing on our gate last weekend. Zoop and I came to the same conclusion - have to tie the upper and lower hinges together. we set the hinges out at a 45 deg so the gate folds flat on one side.
We are gonna take another run at it soon - think we can put a piece of pipe between them and it will work.
Where can I get one of those hats? I would prefer to own the brand but will settle for a hat
Send us $25 and it’s yours.
I must not be getting the point of this video. The way I made 360 degree gates is to simply install a 3 inch pipe and then weld a band in two [places, build two strap hinges and set the gate down on the post.
