shutters - how best to hinge?

[marmic]

Morning all,

 

Another conundrum!  Plan was always brise soleil on posts independent from building - but have decided shutters will be preferable for various reasons including easy access to gutters, full blocking of the sun, and cost. (not idiot proof of course for future occupants but hey-ho, that's called natural selection!). We have leftover cladding and reveal boards so aim is something simple as example image.  But now I'm thinking about it properly struggling to decide best way to hinge - reveal boards slightly proud of cladding (as intended). Also need to keep cost down - some stainless steel hinges are crazy prices! (we need stainless steel as sweet chestnut).  Ideas would be very much appreciated please

You also need to consider how to hold them open and secure them closed, gain ventilation as well as if they would be an issue should a fire break out.
