May be a bit OTT but not much, have a look at www.bptautomation.co.uk they
will sell the kit or put you in touch with a local installer.

Picking up from an old thread...

I'm interested in installing an automated gate, of approximately 3m wide,
6ft high.  Don't really care whether it's sliding or opening (although all
other things being equal, I'd probably go for sliding).  I'd like the gate
to open and close in response to a key-fob button.  I'd also like it cheap!

My first quote has come back with a staggering £8.75k, split as roughly 1k
preparation, 3k for gate, 3k for automation & motor, 1.5k Vat.

This was masses more than I was expecting.  I got a new automated garage
door installed for 1.5k.  So...

Anyone got any experience of this sort of thing?  Anyone used a good
installer?  (I'm near Windsor, west London)  Are these prices way over the
top, or are my expectations too low?  Could I source the parts, and get
someone to install?

Thanks for any help.

Rgds,

Jake.

At last something I do know about having installed hundreds of these over
the years.

The option of opening an automated gate manually without disengaging the
drive unit is a no no, you have several options:-

Provide a push button at the entrance for visitors of pedestrians. Fit a
separate pedestrian gate. If you are planning a field type gate then use
one
long automated gate and a smaller manual gate, when closed they look rather
good.

With regard to cables you will need a 240 mains supply to one side of the
entrance, normally 3 core SWA 1.5 or larger depending on the length of run.
Control cables from the house, again this can be SWA if you want direct
burial, you only need 2 cores for an open command to the gates but put in 4
core as the cost difference is minimal. A 2" DUCT across the road then
you
can pull through what ever cables you need.

If you want more advise on the best equipment let me know.
