I would like to put an electric gate on our driveway to make it easier =
for my wife. The yard is currently fenced in with stockade fence, which =
will be replaced with a combination of deer fence (lots of those =
around!) and 6=E2=80=9D vertical deck boards along the road. The =
current opening is 12 feet, with two 6=E2=80=99x6' (roughly) gates, made =
using an off the shelf frame kit =

lumber and stockade fence. They have worked just fine for about 5 =
years, but are stressing the hinges. So I will need something sturdier =
for the new gates, which will need to be 6" wider (for a 13=E2=80=99 =
opening). They will also likely be heavier, as.my wife would like the =
gate to match the planned fence, so vertical 6=E2=80=9D deck boards =
there, too.
The gate posts are 6=E2=80=9Dx6" pressure treated lumber set in =
concrete, so they should be more than up to the task. The driveway =
hasn=E2=80=99t been paved yet, so getting current out to the openers =
shouldn't be a problem. But, before I get too deep into this project I =
wanted to poll the group and see if anyone has recommendations on =
openers and gate construction.
Thanks,
