My garden gate used-to slammed shut in the wind causing damage over time, so I came up with this gravity-driven setup to hold the gate when it is left open.

Additional hardware required:

  • 3x M6 60 mm stainless steel bolt to fix the rollers (from the top and side)
  • Stainless wire rope
  • something heavy for providing the pulling force
  • mounting screws (8-10G depending on mounting surface)

Printing recommendations:

  • Use PETG as it is going to be outside under the sun and needs UV-resistant filament
  • 3 perimeters
  • 20% cubic infill
