I'm a pretty "handy" guy, but after watching your video (outstanding work, by the way), I've decided that I have more money than time, and I will probably be contracting the job. I can't justify the time vs. the money it will cost me to have it done "professionally." Again, it's a great video. Very informative and very well done. Thank you
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
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
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.
@@vfpaintjobs all these brands are Chinese made that sold online, the American ones that’s assembled in China cost about 10x more. I got a Chinese one and their customer service is nice when I have a problem with it. I got a Blütezeit Store 1800 pound gate opener for my 24ft aluminum gate I build
Did it over the weekend, first day was just prep - getting rid of the rust and painting. Second day was bolting things together. Let me know how you get on.
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
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.
It was useful and I did enjoy watching. I thought the earmuffs over the hoodie with the sunglasses made the whole thing. 🙂

Silicone is corrosive. It will aid rust. Not prevent it.
impressive, would have been easier with a mate to help
