Can I install this on a wooden fence gate? Why is it recommended only for gate over 8' long?

It should not be a problem to install on a wooden gate but my best answer is to call the company the tech dept has been very helpful as long as you have the patience to be put on hold for a while Not sure but the size of gate have to do with the lenght of the cycle since it is all about timing

There's no reason why you couldn't put it on a wooden fence as for needing to be over 8' don't see where it matters

I agree with Great products, but I am assuming you have a control panel already.

I installed mine on my back deck which has a four foot wooden rail. I screwed it into the upright wooden posts. The only issue I could see is you would need to drill and use bolts instead of screws if you are attaching to metal posts.

sure.. i have it for 6 months and it still work great. My gate is wood. i think it is heavier than yours. Remember, this is very powerful one.

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.

We have it on a very heavy tube metal gate. Attached to buried railroad ties. Should work for you as well so long as your gate is blanced well. Hope that helps.

Installing it is pretty easy with the extensions. Mine needed to fit out 46" opening and we used all but 1 extension. You add each extension individually and then use the tension screws to make t tight. The instructions are a little confusing but it's the best gate around!

Yes, as long as you anchor it well--i.e., I purchased at my local lumber/garden center some pointed fence posts about 42" tall, one for each corner of the trellis. I positioned it and drove the posts into the ground a little over one foot and secured the trellis tightly to it with heavy duty zip ties. From one Gramma to another, this was great!

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY

I'm not sure which exactly you are asking about, but we have a wood gate with metal mounting. Works great. Actually stained the wood to match our other woodwork in the house.

I do not know. As a stand alone it would be sufficient to handle the small area around a gate. This does not have the same power as a normal electric fence.

Not that I know of nor can see how it could be done...see how long the gate will expand from the manufacturer description. There is a range of expansion.

That's how I used it on my set up, had to Velcro a piece of oak wood the same width of my banister. I then put a small strip of wood on the wall to attach the gate to. Worked great for all 3 of my kids. The gate could swing open easily when I needed to get through also. When kids grow up remove wood from velco\ Banister (No Marks) Removed wood strip from wall, a little putty to cover the screw holes, and it was like it was never there.

Yes. I'm using it in an opening that's 36". The dimensions say you can use it in an opening that's minimum 29" to 34" the gate itself...and a max of 50" if you add the attachments in case u need it in a bigger opening. I had to add the small attachment to the gate in order to make it into my 36" opening.

if your looking to use a small one you can most likely cut it to size. Then drill the holes out so you can screw the self drilling screws into place.I used them on a big double gate that extended them out to 5 ft on each door... Made my gates look great and very easy to install. Took me about 10 min

The gate is attached with 4 small brackets so as long as the surface has a flat area approximately 1 1/2 inches square it will work.Ive had mine for months and would highly recommend it.

JoJo,I have the 300 S driving a 14 foot, I am guessing, 500 lb steel gate, which it does with ease. ( I did increase the positioning of the piston mounting from 4" and 7" called for in the manual to 6" and 10". ) I would not hesitate to use this unit on a wooden gate.

I have mine mounted on a wooden picket fence and it is fine. Excellent quality.
