You would have to be brain-dead to fit an Automatic opener on a wooden post

Nicely done, great video with many important tips. I’ve used the Mighty Mule 500 series driving a large farm gate for about 12 years with very few issues. Two of the more important points in this video are use plenty of concrete in the bottom with a large support post. Also important is the arm mounting angle pointed out at

I have the same gate. Installing tomorrow or Monday. Can you just move the opening arm up towards the top and attach it to that horizontal round tube instead of buying the unistrut?
