The cannonball closer is an effective means of ensuring your gate always closes. The counterbalance weight mechanism dates back hundreds of years in England and Europe. Farmers originally used any piece of old steel such as a worn out plow point. In colonial America solid steel round "cannonballs" were often used in this fashion. It proved to be an attractive and very efficient way of ensuring a gate closes after it is opened.
It requires that an additional post (not included) be installed behind the hinge post. The Chain is attached between this post and the gate with the 4.5 pound forged solid steel ball suspended on the chain. Gravity does the rest!

Thanks Robert. I should send along a picture of my deck for your photo wall - your lumber was a joy to work with, and I assure you I'll be back.
