They are talking about this on 'the other forum' weirdly and someone suggested solar-powered gates which save you having to run power to the gate

Seems quite cool, although I presume you would have to renew the battery at certain points and you couldn't just use a fiver jobby from the scrappy

Awesome! I want one!

Are you worried about the guide-rail at the bottom getting blocked in the winter with ice?

Does it have any hazard monitoring to stop the stray neighbour kids getting squashed in it? For example if it feels any resistance, does the motor stop?

How's the bus getting on? I like your 'patch of projects'

works well for our corner plot garden keeps various undesirable pikeys at bay,
built it all in for around £230 ...

120 for the motor system,£80 for the timber and 30 bucks for odds an sods,

there is a pair of sensors across the opening that stop the gate if there broken...much to the amusement to my daft neighbour .....

the motor also stops and reverses, if the gate hits something,

all in all a great product that has worked well for 2 years...,

the snow was no problem,
until a lot build up and the gate squashes it up against the buffer ...hardly a major issue ...

the bus has had a bit of welding and im considering an engine conversion...
