Sloping drive- gate opening advice

My drive slopes steeply upwards from the pavement where I am fitting wrought iron gates. I've seen a special hinge system somewhere (can't remember where) which swings the gates up over the rising drive. Can anyone help me with where to source these?
thanks.

Maybe you should consider using reinforcing mesh - or you could order your readymix with fibre reinforcement added at the time of mixing. Otherwise you may get cracking later on.

What area and depth are you covering?If it's a big area ready-mixed sand/cement screed is the best option for a consistent mix. If you plan on mixing your own then 4-1 sharp sand/cement is the norm. If you are going to a depth less than 6mm then a latex or self-levelling compound is the best idea.
