How to install automatic gate opener..part 1

What happens here

Due to a downhill slope, the gate must be installed to swing inward to prevent it from gouging into the ground when opening. Crucially, the gate posts must be perfectly level. This is essential for the future installation of the Ghost Controls gate opener. An uneven installation would prematurely wear out the electrical opener mechanism, underlining the importance of precise leveling for the outdoor fixture's integrated electrical components.

Goal: The gate's opening direction is determined by the terrain's slope, and the critical need for perfectly level posts is highlighted to ensure the proper operation and longevity of the automated gate opener.

open inward this way because there's a downhill slope if we mounted the gate and it opened this way there's a chance it could gouge into the ground as it goes up right here so what we need to know is this post on this side is going to be a little bit shorter than this post over here and they need to be pretty much at the same level so that the gate can be level this gate will need to be perfectly leveled because we're going to be installing a ghost controls opener on it and if it's not completely level it will prematurely wear out the machine so lots of thought needs to go into the we're gonna dig these holes real quick and then we're gonna get some posts in the ground and get some concrete
