Some vehicles have garage door openers built into the sun visor or rear-view mirror. These can usually be programmed to work with openers like the one on this gate. It would be worth checking.

Nice set up Kevin! I love that gate. Looked fairly easy to to install. Yall getting some nice weather up there.

Beautiful gate, well done Kevin

Good job, Kevin. I am happy you took extra precautions to protect your precious family, home and animals that are loved by one and all. Happy New Year to all of you and much success in 2020, especially with this channel. Just think that this past June we celebrated your 5K mark and look now, 6 months later!!!

Very nice Kevin system Kevin. That will give you peace of mind as well keep the dogs in.Great video and very informative. 👍👍

Check this out: I've had a ghost control for about two years. It started squeaking and lurching. I'd clean the arm with WD 40, then lubed it with white lithium grease as suggested. My gate is on a dirt driveway in a desert. The squeaking got worse I couldn't find any usable solutions so, I decided to take a look inside the plastic cover of the mover arm. First I pulled the pins, then i rotated the plastic cover so I could see the Allen screws, it looks odd in there but it takes a normal Allen wrench, loosened all the screws, they wouldn't fall out, springs hold them but you can safely separate the two halves of the plastic cover a little over an inch. It's enough so when turned sideways you can see the threaded gear. (Sidenote before you take it apart make sure it's fully extended so you can spray down the threaded gear). As I looked at the threaded arm I noticed dirt piled up where the lithium grease had allowed it to stick to the threads. I sprayed the area with knocker loose thread cleaner through the plastic gap then let it drip straight down, then I sprayed down the threads with WD-40 to wash off the knocker loose and let it all dry for about 30min. It worked, no more problems.

awesome I am glad your able to get a automatic gate to keep trespassers out you definitely don't need strangers entering your property

I really hope that works the way you want it to. I wish I was that handy with tools. I have a barn full of tools and no clue how to use them all.

Great work Kevin. Definitely need a second remote and maybe a spare in case of loss or accident. Have a good evening. God bless you and your family.

You might want to consider putting your solar panel and electrical boxes on a wood 4x4 post several feet from the steel hinge post to keep it from getting fried by lightning hitting the fence.You would still need to disconnect the control box power cord to the gate motor if bad storms were heading your way.I've got a few scorched places on my gates and sheds from lightning hitting my fence and traveling around all the metal fence connections. Good Luck!

Nice install. An elderly friend of mine might need to look into one of those openers. I'm not sure what brand she has, but she has had trouble with it, so, if your follow-up is positive, I will tell her about it.

Question, what kind of bolts or fasteners did you use to secure the strut to the pipe?

Good video.... question....Very nice......is there a system that may be similar but less "heavy-duty" and maybe less cost ......for a system that doesn't operate a heavy gate......but only operates a lightweight aluminum channel ( a single bar) that is located maybe 1 ft above ground?...and that goes across a home's driveway? I want the single, low, aluminum tube or bar..... as a visual deterrent for folks using my empty ( but "convenient") driveway as a public turn -around.

Nice little setup there. That's cool. I'll have to remember the name. God bless

Idea for receiving deliveries: Buy one of those lock boxes like realtors use that has a combination code, fasten it to one of the posts & fasten a remote opener inside it. Then when you place an order online just include the lock box combo code in the delivery instructions. Yes we ALL hate that store you mentioned. lol. I did my first ever grocery curbside pickup this morning. It has of pros but also lots of cons.

Hi, I'm installing a ghost operator system like the one you have. Can you please tell me where you bought that bracket to the round fence post another to attach the arm operator? I have a round metal post I looking to get the metal bracket you install first before you install the arm operator.

does that 10watt solar panel work ok with that marine battery? Can it keep up?

Which I hear the goat's saying time to feed them. Plus the Turkey's too. The gate looks great. What about if someone is coming to see u what is there a code box to use for the buttons to put in the code for it to open.

Glad you got the gate set up, but I came hoping for animals (and kids) updates.

That is gr8t, now see if ppl. have any class to understand who land it is. When ppl. come around sometimes their scoping out to see what can be stolen. Maybe get some out side security cameras pointed at gate an few other places. Take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh:))

First, I want to say that you were so great given a hand along with Dutch helping Jason get things going on his first full day on building his place! Thanks for showing us this gate. I have a couple of questions that I hope you see & can answer for me. I live out in the countryside and have two metal gates that I close in the center with a chain & lock! I live in a bad area for wildlife and have had illegals. My question is can it be hooked up fairly easy & will I have to build an enclosure for the battery? I saw you used a tote type box. Did you put the lid on basically making it weatherproof ! Where can I find one & how expensive if I am not being too nosey? Being able as a older woman & that's disabled I appreciate all the info you can give me or direct me to. Thanks!

Yes it is easy to hook up. The battery box I used was purchased at Wal Mart for like $9. If you have two gates you would need one on each hate if you want them both to open and close. You can email me at hiddenheightsfarm@gmail.com of you have more questions.

I love your video...! I need to know where you bought your gate? I'm looking and havent seen one like that and it's exactly what I'm looking for. Also how long is your gate? Thanks so much!

So the gates to keep the dogs in and Dutch out jk Happy new year sir

you need to put a roller wheel on bottom of gate will relieve pressure on gate hinge Kevin

Great video. Questions I didn't see addressed in the comments. Since you've had both the Mighty Mule and now the Ghost, 1) What is the cost difference, apples to apples? Some have said that MM dings you for small stuff, hardware, locks, etc. 2) Is there an ability to interface a keypad, like fro UPS, etc? 3) Can you lock the gate in an open mode, like if you were expecting several guests? 4) Is there a way for the fire department to have access, such as a key, code, etc? Thanks!

The ghost is superior hands down. Much quieter and faster. So far so good

How much flex does that door have can a person fit if it does

What kind of fencing (posts and wire) did you use and where can I find it? Your fence and gate looks amazing. I need to replace mine and the metal looks so much better than wood posts.

Are your dogs on everybody’s porch that’s how my Great Pyrenees was then she taught my Anatolian to do the same had to get that under ground containment system . No problems sense .

I was just wondering if the corner of the gate is going to drag. You might want to consider a small wheel to keep it from digging a rut in the drive.👍🤟😎

I agree not wanting to go to Wal-Mart !!.

Good install on the gate opener. Do you have to lock the gate or does the arm prevent movement.

If you don't want trespassers, I would put the solar panel away from the gate or they might be inclined to cut your wires.

Looks like it will work great! How do you keep Skeeter from running out?💕

I do think I would have put the control boxes inside the fence and not accessible from out side the fence...

How big is your gate ..did it move in wind or is it solid

How secure are they when closed? Can someone push right open?

Personally, I would have made it pull to close. Reason, closed is the predominate position. (It remains closed more often than open) The way you installed it means the shaft is exposed to the elements longer. Everytime you open it the shaft and moisture, ice, dirt, etc, will be drawn into the cylinder. This will cause more wear and tear on the seals, wiper, and life of the opener. (Even if it operates by a screw mechanism. ) Or, as I've had happen, ice forming on the shaft will bind the opener and prevent its operation. You will find yourself getting out of your vehicle to remove the ice and reset the opener after it trips out. PS, pour a concrete apron under the gate. (Animals cant dig n concrete)
