Through years of automation experience, we've consistently heard the same concern from our customers: chain link, vinyl, wood, and 3-rail farm gates from local stores and fencing suppliers are simply not built to withstand the rigors of automation.
All of our gates are custom-built to the exact specifications of the customer (height and width), welded at all joints, and constructed with 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its strength and resilience. PLUS, all our gates come with the necessary components for automation, including horizontal supports matched to the mounting requirements of all common gate openers, and ball bearing hinges designed to ensure your gate swings smoothly and freely for years.
Size:
Use this gate frame kit by attaching chain link (chain link not included) to the 1 1/2" diameter heavy-gauge aluminum frame, with 1" x 2" rectangular tubing for intermediate bracing. For gates longer than 8', the kit includes a 1/4" x 3/4" flat bar diagonal brace welded to the frame for added stability. This kit also includes ball bearing hinges to attach the gate to your post (post not included) for your convenience.
Automation:
Automation is a breeze with the highly recommended E-S1600*, the most popular gate opener we carry. It attaches with a simple bolt-on application that any handy homeowner can easily do themselves. It features a durable housing, powerful motor, dual adjustable limits, and constant-duty operation (Estate Swing makes the ONLY constant-duty DIY opener). Rated for gates up to 16' or 800 lbs. Features include: positive stop-free operation, metal housing, medium/heavy usage capacity, key manual release, and online video support.
Posts:
The post includes hinge barrels welded directly onto it. The gate kit comes with hinge barrels and hinges.
Hinge Plates:
The hinge plates have barrels already welded to a plate for easy mounting to an existing post or column.
*Please read the E-S 1600 description to be sure the gate opener will fit all of your requirements - it is a fairly universal workhorse of a gate opener but power or clearance issue may need to be considered in some circumstances.
Gate Crafters has the resources you need.
How do you use your gate opener system once you get it? Gate Crafters is the only retailer to give a real answer to this question. We have develop videos for installing many of our gate openers and products and write DIY focused manuals for most gate openers and have individual instructions for each accessory to be installed with each gate opener. |
Use this gate kit by attaching the chain link (chain link not included) to the 1 1/2" diameter heavy-gauge aluminum frame and 1" x 2" rectangular tubing for intermediate bracing. It attaches on one side to accommodate a variety of chain link sizes and styles. Ball bearing hinges are included in this kit, making it easy to attach the gate to a post (post not included; posts can be purchased with pre-welded hinges).
Each gate is shipped with a can of self-etching primer as a base coat for the frame, which can then be painted any desired color. Gate Crafters uses Marhide Self-Etching Primer by Bondo. This type of primer is an essential undercoat for aluminum, helping to kill stains, resist moisture, and create a surface that allows the topcoat of paint to adhere properly. It is imperative that new or bare metal and aluminum be primed before painting. Bondo is known for producing some of the best bare aluminum primers on the market.
