Default week-hinged gate

I just wanted a confirmation of the fact that a week-hinged gate is a gate with weak hinges, and not some special kind of gate. Comments?!

I think it is a typo! "weak hinged" seems more likely.

Do you mean that it is a hinged gate, which is also weak? Otherwise, I'm not really sure what would be the difference between a weak-hinged gate and a weak hinged gate. Please, enlighten me!

I don't see what else it could be.

The notion of a gate fitted with special hinges that only work on a weekly timer is so absurd that I think we can discount it!
