  • Our contractor couldn't install our sliding gate because it didn't have a tail, so we had to pick up the slack and install it ourselves.

    You’re missing a part on the brick pier that the gate closes up to, to hold the top of the gate in position when it’s closed. There should be a receiving bracket for the gate to slot into so that it can’t be pushed away from the wall and off of the tracks

      I mentioned I was going to add it on at the end, you can see it there at 14:39, but thanks for looking out 👊

    Just moved into a house with a front gate, no motor. I'd very much like to not have to get out of my car on my way out/in to close it behind me. This was very helpful. I just wanted to see how a typical gate motor might work. I definitely plan to install one straight away so I can open/close my gate remotely.

    Great Job first but, not sure about the Regs in Australia but in Europe we require safety photcells for closing on the outside of the pillar as a minimum. Thats a strong motor to get pined by, again impressive install just as an installer liability is a concern

    What about the safety, Very dangerous gate. You need to cover the trapping , drag in and sheer points. Then it has to pass a force test .two children were killed in England, the installers went to prison. Please look into safety edges and photo cells

    • @headsofestate
      @headsofestate  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The motor I use stops if there's resistance, but you can also install a sensor if you plan on having your kids/dogs play unattended while you're driving in and out of your driveway.

      @@headsofestatethat BFT motor is pretty strong and is capable of killing someone. I install automation but this setup doesn’t worry me too much. The main issue is with auto close. If you want to instantly make this system safer change the mode to semi-auto so it doesn’t move unexpectedly. Also make sure the gate can’t fall out of its guides and fall on someone, that’s the number one cause of death with gates.

      Silicone is corrosive. It will aid rust. Not prevent it.
