What hinge for lightweight "shed" door?

Lumen

As a bit of a lockdown project I've built myself a walk-in run for the chickens from scrap wood and weldmesh.

The human door is going to be a simple rectangle made of 2x2 with a bit of bracing, covered in mesh, so won't weigh more than about 15kg.

I'm looking at tee hinges.

The smallest one that Screwfix do is this 102mm one:

Will that do? Do I need two or three?



The next size up is 152mm:

They'll do ye. I've just been through a much, much heavier door here. Held on fine by a couple of square, steel hinges, probably about two inches square? (I could go back out there and measure, even photograph them. But, what's the point?)

That said? For preference, and when I'm actively planning an outside job involving hinges? My default go to is six inch galvanised. (I see SF isn't offering those) Policy being that, for the sake of a few quid, they'll out last me. Never mind the wood I screw them to
