The least complicated method is to attach one end of the spring to the hinge 
side of the gate and the other to the fence. Should only take one spring and 
can be placed at any point on the gate / fence junct. Least noticeable if 
placed low if concerned about hiding the spring it can shielded from direct 
view by placing a bit of channel steel in the gate and opposite fence bolt 
the spring in the channel then make a cover to attach over the pieces of 
channel. Not as noticeable if built into the fence/gate rather than attached 
to the fence/gate.
Time enough for sleep in the grave.
