Have been toying with the idea of replacing the gates on the entrance to the house and yard here as they are long past their best.
I like the idea of the traditional style field gate with the hoop in it as was shown in some of
@whichwire pictures, they are/were very common here in Mourne.
But I have been thinking of automating them to keep the undesireables out and the toddlers in. I hate automatic gates with a passion but now understand they have a purpose and am reluctantly having to accept that I maybe need them, where do you deal for the likes of the automation stuff and is any type of system better than others? They will have to open in and can only really go back through 90 degrees
