    I believe he wants to keep the top level as it rotates. In this scenario the long edge of the gate will hit the ground upon rotation. Perhaps a cam-like (or ramp like) action would lift the gate keeping everything level.

    Baddog, do you mean angle the hinges 8 degrees from the vertical axis?
