  • After months of having to get out of the car to open and close our ranch gate, we finally installed an automatic gate opener! We may add a locking latch later, but for now it is a huge improvement!

    Nice job. Good job you don’t live in our part of the world. By the time you would have got back to your house somebody would have borrowed it!!!!

    Would this work in areas with extremely low Temps during the winter, consistently below freezing? Or would that kill the batteries ability to hold a charge?

      I really don’t know- the Ghost Controls website may have an answer, though. The opener wasn’t damaged during the TX polar vortex, but we also didn’t use it during those 5 days, so…👀

    Hi nice 😊 job…..where did you get the attachment to mount the gate arm onto to gate

      The brackets were part of the gate motor kit. We bought the U bolts at Home Depot to go around the pipe. We're having problems with it slipping around the pipe, though, so we need to be able to set it firmer to the pipe. That's on our to-do list!

      In the 2 batteries in the bottom compartment.

      Great video! Showing without all the jabber. What is the name of the battery storage box and where did you get it?
