Apparently this message got bounced for some reason so I am sending it
again just in case:

Hi Jim,

My gate opening also is just over 13' and I am using a single swing gate
with one of the GTO SW4000 XLS gate openers.

This opener is rated for up to 20' gates and 1,000 lbs. It should be about
$1,100 if you have room for a single swing gate:

These all run on battery with a charger that could be from 110VAC. I ran
110 VAC in buried conduit to the gate (I wanted AC receptacles there
anyway) and then plugged the charger in there, but you also could run the
low voltage cable in the ground from the charger in the garage out to the
gate.

A solar charger also would be sufficient to keep the battery charged if you
do not want to run cable or you do not want AC out at the gate. There
really is no need for AC at the gate unless you want it..

I also am just using the remote to open and close the gate from the cars,
garage, house, etc. There is no reason to run control wires.

I can send photos if you would like.

best,

doug
