nstalling automatic gates usually starts with planning and measuring the entrance where the gate will be installed. The type of gate—sliding or swinging—depends on available space, terrain, and preference. Swing gates need room to open inward or outward, while sliding gates require enough horizontal clearance.br br The foundation is important, so posts must be firmly anchored in concrete, ensuring they can support the gate’s weight and movement. Once the posts are set, the gate panels are attached with strong hinges for swing types or mounted on rollers for sliding types. The motor unit is then installed, positioned so that it can move the gate smoothly without strain.
