I wish all my future customers would watch this video of you saying there is a lot to installing an automatic gate properly, most people have no idea how much work is involved to install a gate and operator system properly. I think I will share your video with them.
I need two black four board gates identical to these (+hinges) in Clermont, FL. My folk live on Anastasia Island so I could pick them up and build my four board fence to the dimensions you make.
Unless you plan on always working out of state I’m gonna have to stick with the cheapo $600-$700 systems. I agree this operator you have is far better but I also feel they need to pair with a great installer to get the full potential. Great video 🍻
Learned a lot from this video, keep up the awesome content! only question is why exactly do the braces face opposition direction as other gates such as wood gates?
The Diagonal could be welded either way since it is rigid is it’s just a strong this way or the opposite way. The customer chose this way. If it was not a rigid item, then it would make a difference.
Nice to see a 16-year-old welding. In shorts, and not saying, "It's gonna to hurt" I did see this video before i've watched just about all of your videos
@haxman Grab SWI and y’all come do a “Save my fence, save my marriage” episode here in Nashville TN area. Help please! Contractor has screwed us on our job now we are left with incomplete job and my kid just hurt on it. I’m legally blind but I can work!
Excellent craftsmanship and explanation of all aspects of the job. Oh and if you really want to do a Dragon gate/operator project, you are welcome to use my place in Central Texas as a prototype. Would add another piece if uniqueness to the property. I'll even throw in unlimited hog hunts. :)
Probably more than you would expect it to be. It's really hard to take a stab at this kind of question as every region, fencing company, and job site is different. If you can find a fence company with an online quote tool you can use that to get a rough idea: bit.ly/swiquote
I actually have a Cobalt Posthole digger. I bought it because it's solid steel and heavy lol the kid did have some skinny arms though, but I've seen a skinny black guy, no thicker than the kid that likes the Cobalt post diggers, bench 325 like it was nothing, so size isn't always the factor, but there are exceptions hahaha

Anyone have any real ideas about stopping drug addicts coming onto your property -8 acre's, living alone. Night time, day time when they see me leave. Police told me today a fence all the way around 😬 I'm looking at hog wire fencing. 325 feet for 150.00 then posts and wood post for gate.
You’ll have to show me how you weld the steel bracket to the aluminum gate, clearly I need more skill 😉. I’ve been doing gates a bit longer than you and while each can have their faults some are more reliable than others. For solar it is impossible to beat USAutomatic. We have had great reliability out of them as well.
Check out Haxman's video of this installation on his channel! ua-cam.com/video/ayxc9cWP5D8/v-deo.html
Looks like Florida? I used to live in Key West

For sure!
Gate pros. Hard at it.!! Show ‘‘em how it’s done Mark. Hellz yeah

You are SO right. Most people have absolutely no idea how much work it is to do it right.
I love watching you dry pack like a floridian🎉
Love the haxman colabs - amazing work!
We love working with Hax!
Superb job on mounting and wiring!!
Thank you!
That was great guys! Now the important thing is that you follow up on the tick count in the, formerly known as minion, luscious locks. 👍👍
yeah, I agree, the flat end of the prybar pushes the air out of the concrete better and packs it in tight.
Step one call swi.
Step 2 write check
Done
My favorite is step 2
Awesome- explanation and video was WELL DONE! Keep educating the industry, my friend.

Have truck will travel. Living in Florida makes me a lot closer to anybody in the southeast.
@@SWiFence need to be closer to the Midwest 🇺🇸 I know a case of cold beer doesn’t cover that mileage 😂
Fantastic quality work!!

I love my new gate! Ya'll always do an awesome job. It's a shame you drive such a terrible truck. 😂

@@booboobangbang6685 Tell me more sales@swifence.com
The next time you’re in Northern Tennessee I’d like you to drop by and install that same kind of gate at our place! Tim and Northern TN
Tennessee is not that far. We have traveled as far as North Carolina to install these gates so far. Drop me an email. sales@swifence.com
You missed your white paint marking the area to dig and 811 call.
Does this system work in cold weather? Minnesota for example?
Yes

Whats a good price to demo and install standard 4 foot cahinlink fence?I'm wanting to get mine relaced.

What no spooky controls?
🤣🤣🤣
I want to make a Jurassic Park gate 😂

great stuff... I don't think you ship to EU though 😂😂😂
Well... depends if you're willing to pay freight + customs...
SWI- Please come to Nashville and save our fencing job! Contractor has screwed us and our kid just got hurt bc of it. Help!
Not to throw shade but shouldn't those gate braces be the opposite way?
No. The fact is they aren’t even needed. They are there for looks and the guys last name starts with V so…..
@@SWiFence makes sense. I've never built those aluminum type of gates.
Which opener is that?
US Automatic, Patriot. bit.ly/swiusautomatic
Good video, but a real professional would have a generator on the truck and not be welding on someone's front porch'.
What is the Florida locations Instagram?
We don’t have one yet. Maybe soon.
Those gates are upside down no?
Not at all. The Diagonal could be welded either way since it is rigid is it’s just a strong this way or the opposite way. The customer chose this way. If it was not a rigid item, then it would make a difference.

Been doing it for 10 years, I absolutely hate US Automatic gate operators.
I also weld every bracket to the gate, I never use bolts.
