Had a gate hinge shear clean off a cedar fence in a windstorm last night.

It was a 4-inch heavy duty brass hinge from a local supplier, and now I'm looking for a stronger steel replacement that can handle our coastal gusts.

Is it really that big a deal if a hinge breaks once?

Honestly, brass looks nice but it's basically fancy play-doh in a windstorm. Tbh, you're smart to go for steel, that coastal air will eat anything weaker. Ngl, my own shed door learned that lesson the hard way last spring.
