How to install automatic gate opener
What happens here
Attach the post-side mounting bracket for the actuator arm to the gate post. This involves drilling pilot holes if necessary and then securing the bracket with bolts and nuts. Next, attach the gate-side mounting bracket to the gate itself. This often involves U-bolts or similar hardware to wrap around the gate's frame. Ensure both brackets are aligned correctly with the path of the actuator arm and are securely tightened.
Goal: Install mounting points for the actuator arm
