DuraPost Aluminium Gate Third Hinge Kit

The DuraPost Aluminium Gate Third Hinge Kit adds an additional hinge point to the aluminium pedestrian gate where the completed gate needs more support. Birkdale specifically describes it as additional support for heavier infilled gates. When should I add the third hinge? Consider the third hinge where the gate is built toward the larger end of the permitted size range, uses a heavier infill arrangement or the project specification calls for additional hinge support. It supplements the standard Aluminium Gate Hardware Kit rather than replacing it. What else do I need?
