This is exactly what I was trying to find yesterday, instead I landed on some video where this guy has a cannon ball hanging on a chain hooked up to his gate to close it by weight. It was literally as simple as that but he had to spend15 minutes rambling on before he actually showed how it worked, which was dead simple. Soon as I saw the first 5 seconds of this video I know it would be good.
That’s a really neat setup!
Nice job! Looks good too!

i'm a fencer in scotland, you can make a gate self close just by the placement of the bottom hinge
Any links to pics/vid to explain?
Can u explain please..
awesome, you should patent that
Great job! I am building a small garden gate and wanted to use the latch you made. Know you welded it up and it is working is great. THANKS!
Thank you so much for your post!🇺🇲
This is a great idea. Thank you!
Genius
Perhaps add some plastic, wood, carpet or rubber to horseshoe or area of gate that catches, to dampin the sound and vibrations.
Wow. Great job!
love those low tech fixes.Thanks
That's cool. Thanks for sharing!!
Great idea simple works well.
Love it, thanx for video
Pretty cool!
Brilliant!
I’d love to know how to make the latch.
That’s what I was thinking…wish he would have showed that part in detail:(
That's great
Great gate. But where is the fence?
It is there now! Lol
Had to remove it to set the poles. 2strand electric.
Nice
DIY…?
Absolutely
