My shed door hinge gave out right before a big storm

The whole thing sagged and wouldn't close, so I had to prop it with a cinder block for two days while I waited for new hardware. What's the best heavy-duty hinge you've used for a wooden shed door?

Have you tried those heavy strap hinges?

Honestly, what are you hanging that needs hinges like that? I see them on big barn doors and heavy gates, but for most indoor stuff it seems like overkill. Unless you're building something truly massive, a standard hinge should do the job just fine. Feels like a solution looking for a problem half the time.
