Hinge for maintaining posts in longitudinal contact

A gate assembly of a fence, comprising a two fence panels, each comprising an end post;

• the end posts being connected by a hinge, the hinge comprising
• two hinge halves, each hinge half comprising:
• a finger portion arranged to interlace with a finger portion of the other hinge half, each finger of the finger portions defining an opening;
• and
• an arcuate post-engaging portion extending for at least 90 degrees and defining a longitudinal opening for receiving an end post, wherein each longitudinal opening faces the other when the hinge is in a closed position;
• and
• a hinge pin passing through and within the openings of the interlaced fingers of the finger portions thereby allowing rotation of at least one hinge half about the hinge pin with respect to the other hinge half,
• wherein when the hinge is in a closed position, the end posts of the fence panels are maintained in substantial contact along substantially the entire longitudinal length of the end posts.
