They appear problematic based on what i have seen before in my old neighborhood but damn they're really useful with the funky weather we have. These were swing out types with mechanisms exposed so if i were to have one i'd probably go with a sliding gate and do the best to keep the mechanism/motor protected from the elements.

September 18th, 2017 11:39 AM #12the swing types seem very flimsy
the sliding ones can be toughened by enclosing the slider in heavy-duty rails at the top and bottom, so that the gate can't simply be lifted out
the next problem would be how to securely lock the gate in the closed position. i was thinking of rigging a car alarm to trigger a door actuator that push/pulls on a thick steel locking bar
seems doable

My friend has something similar...
Safe, well you have to consider na remote controlled sya, so you don't need to get off your vehicle to open your gate late at night.
Pero on the security side, the gate should have a sensor na di sya mag sasarado kung may maiipit.
In my friend's case, after 6 months of use, nasanay sila na atras and alis knowing the gate will automatically close. I can just imagine someone trying to get it knowing that the door will open again kung may maiipit...

September 18th, 2017 09:07 PM #14We have a swinging electric gate. My wife got it so we I don't have to get down from the car when it rains. Its solid, so outsiders cannot see through it. Its 1 year old and hasn't had any problems. When leaving, I wait until it's fully closed before driving off. This is to prevent a person or animal from entering while it is closing. It has a sensor that prevents closing if there is anything blocking it.
My niece has a solid sliding gate. It's three years old, and no problems yet too.

September 18th, 2017 09:22 PM #15I have a sliding power gate with manual over ride (power failure, motor failure). Extremely useful and convenient. I hope it lasts long but if not its relatively easy to replace the motor.

I have the swing-type gate in my house. Almost 3 years na at never pang nag breakdown. Nagpalit lang ako ng battery ng remote (3xCR2032 batteries).
May backup battery yung swing gate ko so in an event of power failure, pedi pa syang i-operate 10 times open and close ng gate. Meron din syang sensor na mag stop sa gate from closing if may naka block.
Very informative discussion guys. Thanks a lot!
