there would be 2 options
1 put the hinge sticking out at 135 degrees at the corner
2 put the hinge close ish to the corner and weld the other bit at 90 degrees on the gate so that it swings 270 degrees on the pin
How about using pipe for the post & weld hinges on pipe that slides over the other one, if you know what I mean?
Or And this is a rare one, tie the gate up with a bit of twine or for a more durable finish a bit of wire, very rare cough to see that cough done.

tis hard to teach an old dog new tricks, ive given up tbh.Sounds like my father
I'm gently nagging him though. Its a slow and drawn out process at this stage yet Getting there though.

I must pay some respect to my mother in this respect, she is a keen walker and was finding the roads more dangerous and so started walking blocks of the land here. Wouldn't be fair on her opening Dad's double tied twines or hoping over gates
That quickly changed plus a few feet added to them all as well....
Know a family that grew grain & a few spuds, the folks went on holiday for a week & when they returned the sons had the spud land drilled in wheat . No spuds since.Gaps widened too so
If I had a tracked machine and a post driver around here for a week....... and send the folks off on a holiday for the same week

Do as Farmideas pictures, but ignore the rest of the rusty gate apart from the upright.
Weld a set of hooks on one side of 4' of 2" box, and eyes on the other, then hang the galv gate on.
I've done this on a few, loads of movement.
[MENTION=5]defender[/MENTION] [MENTION=1895]Nearly[/MENTION] do you have any photos of them hinges, has anybody else got any other ideas for a 270 to 290 degree gate hanger?
4.5in round pipe?
That idea did cross my mind, would a 4.5in pipe carry two 16ft heavy duty gates, I never seen it done up close but how would you attach the gate to the post without creating two hinge points, I don't want to weld on the gate as it would be an existing galvanised gate

2 pics below show my prototype 359 degree hinge ;) in my cattle shed this spring. It's been painted now, honest.
4x2 box section, 4 weld on eyes, 2 with M20 bolts welded in and lock nuts.
