Hinge for live edge round posts

I’m building a 9 foot garden fence for deer from black locust posts, 6”-8”. Have two fairly straight, round posts about 5 feet apart for the gate. Seeking suggestions for a good hinge to buy.

I can shave a flat edge on the inside of the post where the hinges will go if need be. The gate will be decently heavy, I’m look for something first and foremost effective, and ideally also then easy/ efficient.
Thoughts?

Thanks!

The most reliable and adjustable for natural in my experience is the lag screw with a pin that fits in a colar fited to the gatehttps://www.lowes.com/pd/Blue-Hawk-Gray-Metal-Fence-Post-Hinge-Chain-link-Fence/3160491?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-lum

With both pins pointed up the gate can be lifted off. To prevent that the bottom one points up and the top one points down

Nailed it, Hans! If theft or weight is a concern, use three, the with the middle upside down, slide collar up and on and tighten in place. This means a crook has to use tools to remove, and not just lift and run.

If weight is really a concern, ensure post is at least half as deep as the gate is high, and run the post at a very slight backward angle. If post is left extra tall, a wire rope cable can run from top of post to far end of gate - this makes opening and closing much easier and/or adding a wheel to the end opposite to hinge will make using the gate effortless.

Lorinne's experience seams to match mine. One possible variation she did not mention: the OP is making a deer fence so the posts are high enough to put log across the top the gate post. It only needs to be half the diameter of the posts. With a diagonal wire brace from the top of the gate posts to the bottom of the adjacent posts it can support a heavy gate. If you wish to have the gate swing all the way back to the fence to get it out of the way mount the hinges on the side of the post that it opens. If the hinges are on the opening side of the posts the gate can swing both directions. 2 gates meeting in the middle has advantages for a wide opening.
