How to Install Automated Sliding Gate and Motor | DIY First Time

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.

It was useful and I did enjoy watching. I thought the earmuffs over the hoodie with the sunglasses made the whole thing. 🙂

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

Damn good job! loved the perfection on the alignment with the concrete slabs in the drive way!

I have to do this in the next year.. but it will be raked quite a bit. Massive job I'm sure.

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.

Where did you got the track kits and motor and those AEG tools looks exactly like Ridgid tools here

You looking for a disaster with the extention of the gate in aluminum

[jhonzepol]

those openers are cheap how much do they charge for installation?

[daviddeprez]

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

Do you do installation mate? Can I have your number please.

Whoever build that stole your money, they tacked all the metal sheets...
