Looking to install automatic gate opener. Retrofit an existing sliding (not swinging) gate. Need references?
I have been asking for bids locally for a retrofit on an existing gate. Needs to be solar powered with magnetic sensors. Low bid is $3100. I believe this bid to be too high and with the help of you would like to make this project more affordible.
This includes:
1 Apollo 7100 ETL slide gate operator
2 Exit sensor 50 ft. — magnatic sensor for car or bike. non security access
1 10 watt solar panel
1 SG-4 solar controller — to prevent overcharge
1 concrete pad for gate opener and 1 1/2 su. tube 15″ gate extension
Assuming I have ability to pour own concrete and access to welding equipment, I am looking for options to purchase similar equipment to do instillation myself. What are the advantages of the retrofit compared to a swinging gate which may be cheaper? Can anyone assist me in buying the parts or similar equipment by leading to websites, distributors, etc.? Are there any kits that include automatic solar gate openers that I can install?
You should jump on that bid, it’s dirt cheap.
2 man days work to set the forms, pour the concrete, and run the conduit.
1 day to install the gate and align the sensors.
1 day to connect the whole system and verify the operation.
All of this plus the materials and a profit makes the $3100 a very low price. Get a 1 year parts and labor warranty.
