    Love your channel bub. I have a new homestead channel. We are also from Oklahoma. I also want to thank for your service as a state trooper. I hope my family gets to meet yours one day. I pray you're blessed.

    Daniel I have a ghost system. Do yourself a favor and use a deep cycle marine battery. It will save you some frustration later. Those little batteries work ok for a while but I had to switch to a bigger one works much better now.

    Hey Daniel just a suggestion is get some rubber air hose and slit it and cut it to length and put your wires in it for added protection from the elements and weedeaters. Zip tie or electrical tape to hold in place.

  • @tjjewell4115
    @tjjewell4115 3 года назад +36

    Hello Daniel, I would suggest that you secure the pins on the arms, someone could pull the pins out and get onto your property. Just a suggestion and your Channel is FANTASTIC, keep up the great work TJ

    • @cowboy3300
      @cowboy3300 3 года назад +2

      That's the 1st thing I noticed is some one can just pull the pin and swing the gate right open. I would definitely fix that

    The gate looks awesome. This is still the best homestead channel on RUclips. Yes, I might consolidate some of the wires into a flex conduit to give them some added protection, but the project looks great. Well done.

    @TheKat1959 3 года назад +4

    Daniel, I think your Daddy would be right proud of your handiwork with this gate and fence. I won’t lie and say I don’t miss the original. This turned out nicely indeed. Farming is never ending and you are always making improvements to your homestead. Y’all are certainly blessed with your family, faith and farm. A blessing indeed. Everyone have a blessed day today and every day. 🌎❤️😊

    Daniel, the gate looks fantastic. Your explanation for installing the opener was very clear. That Ghost opener looks like a good product. Adding the solar panel option was a wise decision. This should provide extra privacy and security for you and your family. Dang, that sure turned out well Daniel. Great job.

  • @DFDuck55

    I think the only thing I would have done differently would have been to mount the solar panel up on top of the frame where it would be more difficult for someone to unscrew and abscond with.

    Congrats good sir. The Gate! is proud and not overstated. Artwork on your crest between the gate folds. Impressive. I guess you searched inside for a smith. I'd like to suggest you later add to your security, the instruments be fit within a safe box, elevate your solar up , since you can take use of your 14 ft road clearance. Very Nice!

  • @BillSmith-ut5li
    @BillSmith-ut5li 3 года назад +2

    So you want to keep out what my mom used to call looky-loos LOL. Yeah you're still get some but it'll slow them down anyway. Now just add a no trespassing no hunting sign. Add reflector on a stick with a stop here for people pulling up to the inside the gate to keep clear

  • @Heisstrong

    Well at least you have quick access for when the battery is dead or not charged. Pull the lock pins on the openers and you can manually open the gates. You might want to consider putting a bolt through those openers.

    Nice!! Need to put a sign on the inside for visitors that don't know or understand how an automatic gate system works something like "Stop Here for Gates to Open". This way may avoid the possibility of the gates from getting damaged.

    Couple of questions:
    1) Is your mailbox outside the gate? If so, how do you stop theft of mail and/or packages?
    2) Do you get trash removal? Do you have to haul the cans outside the gate on trash day?

  • @craigmilligan616
    @craigmilligan616 3 года назад

    We have a .3 mile long lane with grass on the fenced sides. The fences are high tensile with a Gallagher energizer that puts out 9,500 volts of jolt. Everything is topped with a hot wire, including gates. The cattle graze the lane, which eliminates mowing and the locked and electric fence/gates keep cattle rustlers away. 🤠👍 ⚡️

  • @toddbrown3610

  • @jakeh409

  • @jonathanfaircloth6405
    @jonathanfaircloth6405 3 года назад

    Check out the locks for where the openers connect to the gate. Those Carter keys easy to remove and just push the gates open. Just a little more security...

  • @ansleykinnamon4380

    @MasterKnight2K 3 года назад

    I always use a piece of plastic bag attached to the string and a vacuum to suck the line through. That way you can bury the line and run the string later. I also use poly twine because it won’t ever break when pulling.

  • @DTrueView
    @DTrueView 3 года назад

    Daniel: Have you considered using a trench, berm and boulder system? Trench a drainage ditch 15" or more deep and 24"-36" wide outside the weak areas of fence, piling the dirt from the ditch behind the ditch creating a berm between the trench and fence. Large boulders placed in remaining weak spots further curtail access, they work really well between large trees. This system will bottom-out or high center almost any vehicle. the 15" ditch and 15" berm creates a 30" high obstacle. This is project only requires a little planning, and time but little money. If you change your mind or need to access areas using the system, just push the berm back into the ditch and move the boulders. Easy to install, easy to remove. Blessing to you. Tell Houston hello. He's a great kid.

  • @RedRiverRedNeck309
    @RedRiverRedNeck309 3 года назад

    Daniel you need to put a lock on each gate opener through one of the pens, those are to simple for someone to unclip cut the wires and take your openers. Take it from someone who use to build and install electric gates. People would even unpen an opener and drive into someone property so they had to put a lock at each end of there motors so that no one could unpen them and drive in.

  • @sandracorless6186
    @sandracorless6186 3 года назад

I know I cannot put a fence out front per the deed but the culvert on each side of my property will keep the majority of the people honest. My wife feels the same way. Just another layer of security since we put our lives out there on the interwebs. great video and I know the brand I will choose thanks to you if I do get to get one.

DJ. Is very fortunate! “Fairly simple”, says you!?? Mr Ghost would have me calling for him. Baffled me when you pulled it out from the box! DJ is fortunate to have you! Question...will someone be able to steal the solar panel, esp on a public road?? DJ .. hope you give him a big kiss later! You lucky gal!!
