How Does Automatic Gates Work?

The gate itself is set up by mounting it to posts, pillars, and columns. Most posts are concrete, brick, or stone so that it can support the weight of the gate. Automatic openers are then attached to the gate and post and connected to a power source.

The opener itself has a rechargeable battery, which then powers the gate to close and open. Operating the gate depends on what type of gate you have. The classic way is to use a remote or press a keypad but there are more types available

Sara Borris – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We just moved to our new house and needed automatic gates. We searched online and found Big Easy Fences. When I observed them making the automatic gate, they truly made the whole process look easy even though it was not. The whole crew was friendly and pleasant to talk to and they were nice to my 5 year old who asked them a lot of questions.
