Hi, Is the product below suitable for outdoor gate or is there a better product.

Hi @rraus,

You could certainly use that hinge for an outdoor gate, as it is made from stainless steel, which offers some resistance to corrosion. However, it’s not specifically designed for external use, and the matt black finish may wear more quickly when exposed to the elements.

If you're looking for the best long-term performance, especially in harsh weather conditions, it would be better to choose from our range of outdoor gate hinges. These are specifically constructed to withstand outdoor environments and are generally more robust and weather-resistant than standard interior-style hinges. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @rraus 

Can you give us an idea of how thick the wood is? The size of the screw will depend on the size of the wood.

The same applies for the steel. Is it flat or is it a square post?

For brick however, I suggest using Ramset 300ml Chemset UltraFix Plus in combination with the Ramset stud fixings. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
