Electrified Drive-Thru Gate // Review And Retrofitting

[@ktleonar]

Thank you so much for your video! I live in a neighborhood, rural area where there are a lot of loose dogs in the community. I installed this gate plus an electric fence on one side and traditional gate on the other and I’ve reclaimed my driveway! It’s been almost a year and my driveway is no longer the community litter box! The only thing I don’t enjoy are the surface scratches on the vehicles, but no longer having every dog in the community claiming my driveway with their shit and my packages not being peed on or eaten, is worth it! Also helps keep kids and curious adults out! Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

Thanks for the honest review. A nice pick up for someone with some engineering skills and knowledge but agree with you. Not the best for someone lacking your skills and knowledge. Rob

Thank you Sapper!

Yeah, my husband is installing a Deerbusters! Steel fence, oh my gosh. Nothing about this has been easy. Delivery was a headache, when things did get here the boxes were smashed, parts falling out so we knew it wasn’t all there. The instructions are awful, videos worse. He called to have them send the parts he needs- they came damaged, missing one, extra ones he didn’t need. Ridiculous. We spect about $3500 on this. It’s a 7.5” steel deer fence. No joke.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I believe you. Some of those gates can be somewhere around $5000.

As long as it works, and didn’t break the bank, I’m for it.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Right on!

Thank you my man!

Any updates on how this performed? Thanks!

[@mellyg8872]

Good thing you have an electrician background! But in time you’ll have it perfected plus it seems it will do the job you intended. Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much! It seems to be getting the job done.

Many moons ago (like the 1980's) I worked for a company that employed a Tech Writer to translate the foreign translation to English into understandable English.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Unbelievable... I was transferred from a customer service guy in India to a guy in Atlanta. After two minutes on the phone with the guy in Atlanta I asked him to transfer me back to the one in India!

THANK YOU WE JUST GOT ONE YOUR IDEAS ARE A BIG HELP

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

So glad to be of help!

[@rhondawelch6600]

Noticed the install was more than a year ago. Is it holding up? How about delivery of goods, are they hesitant to drive in? We need to keep our guardians in an completely enclose the our perimeter.

[@Mikel8v]

I'm interested also

Nice looking post set up on the entrance. You are spot on sir. The instructions are crap. Like your style. New subscriber. I do not believe you are an electrician though. You cleaned up after your self😂.

[@Miguel195211]

Please do a follow up as to how it works or doesn't in real life circumstances. TIA

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You got it!

[@marytucker9404]

You're right, it doesn't look good. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck from Forney Tx.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I guess I should find a bit of solace in knowing that it’s functioning perfectly.

[@agirlandhercows501]

that gate is so cool

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

It doesn’t look pretty but it’s definitely getting the job done… for much cheaper!

You bet!

[@angelacross2216]

I’m not convinced electric fencing works; my husband put a mini fence around a flower bed to stop all the neighborhood critters using it as a bathroom and I shocked myself about twenty times spring cleaning it. I’m sure the neighbors were entertained by my “dancing”!! Come to think of it it did keep the smart animals out. I was using a metal leaf rake.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You might have a different result if you use poultry netting instead.

I don't know? Your gate looks okay. The green parts give you a frame of reference so you don't favor one side or the other. Could you spell your dog's name? It's very unusual!! LOL

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m glad it doesn’t look as badly as I thought it did. His name is Milk Boi.

[@jennifersinclair6044]

I guess you get what you pay for. 🤷‍♀️ I'm not sure where you were looking. But I've seen the power open/close thingies you attach to gates, for only $60ea. Did you just not want to buy or build a gate to attach those to?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

There is no AC power where the gate is located so I would have to use a solar/DC system. I haven’t seen any for that price.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I don't have power is there a way to use a solar powered something like an electric fence power to use with this gate?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That’s precisely what I’m using here. On the initial installation I used a solar charger.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Thank you. I didn't pay close enough attention.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

@@lyndabuchholz1216 it’s easy to miss. I attached the charger to the fence and then tethered it to the gate...but you could easily attach the charger directly to the gate alone.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Thank you I will watch again and see if I can figure it out. I need to keep the neighbors cattle out of my yard and still let the UPS man drive in and this seems like a good solution if the UPS man can go through. They seem to have some restrictions the drivers have to adhere to.

[@gonnagetya1433]

What about scratching your car?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

It hasn’t left a mark so far. We drive old vehicles anyways so I wouldn’t care if it did.

[@greenghost6416]

Did Milk Boi find it yet?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Not yet. He’s poked around it but seems to know that it’s hot.

[@dwighthires3163]

How do you dare leave your solar charger down by the front gate?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That was for testing purposes. The next video will show the whole system completed.
