How We Installed These Huge Gates

huge-gate-installation.jpg

Installing gates on stone columns is more envolved than just hanging welding them to a tab. First we set 6″ posts 15′ in the ground. Then we added rebar that was connected to the masonry. After that we poured concrete in around the post and inside the column.

We used a bob cat to lift the gates into position so the hinges could be welded to the steel supports in each column. This was quite difficult because we had to insure that there was a 1″ margin between the each gate.

Liftmaster LA412 Solar Powered Gate Opener

This is the latest version of Liftmaster’s LA400 series. The LA412 integrates a solar panel making it a great option when installing a 110v circuit is not feasible.

It delivers power when needed most for opening the gate and minimizes power consumption at all other times for best solar performance. Its DC motor provides soft start/soft stop operation, which promotes longer gate and operator life, as well as dependable performance. The LA412 is capable of operating gates up to 16 feet long and weighing up to 550 pounds.

Although, I recommend using it on smaller gates no more than 12 feet long. Also, there must be no obstructions to sun light from the Southwest for the solar panel.

I would rate this gate opener as one of the best solar powered options.

We used the Liftmaster dual LA400 swing gate operators to power the gates.

Commercial Chain Link Security Gate

chain-link-gate.jpg

We installed this commercial chain link security gate, at a commercial facility. We added barded wire at the top and used an offset guide roller system to allow the barbed wire to flow though the system.

Also, because large trucks use this entry, we recessed the v-track. A drainage system was installed in the recessed track to allow water to drain.

The huge gate (30′ X 12′) is powered by an Elite SL 3000 gate operator. The SL 3000 has a 5 year commercial warranty.
