I am building a front entrance gate to our farm. Its going to be 16' long and weigh around 600 lbs. What should i do about the hinges? can i just use the classic metal pin into metal sleeve style hinge or should i look for a ball bearing type hinge? I will be installing an automatic gate opener capable of moving an 18' 850lb gate. The next size down will be pushing the operating limits.
