Driveway gates completely fold back

Posts: 703 Forumite
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get gates that when open (inwards towards drive) can fold back tight against the wall at the front of house.
The reason is that my driveway is small and my car, when parked in the driveway almost sticks out on the pavement. I would like t be able to enter the property via the driveway and it would be good to get one side of the gates to fold back against the wall. I am assuming it would need some sort of double hinge as they need to fold back 180 degrees?
Many thanks.
I live in a small 3 bed semi so not a big property at all.

My drive gates would open through 180 degrees if I wanted them to. AFAIK there's nothing special about the hinges..................

All that is required is that the hinges are mounted to the rear of the post looking into the drive, rather than to the inside of the post. Obviously the posts must be set back behind any front wall.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
