Cantilever Farm Gate Sunbury
Cantilever Farm Gate Sunbury
This stunning cantilever farm gate was manufactured and installed for our customer in Sunbury, just north of Melbourne. The gate creates an eye catching entrance to their property while providing security and peace of mind. With a combination of keypad, GSM and remote entry, access for the owners and authorised guests is both flexible and easy.
Based on the customer's design, every aspect of this gate was managed by Newtower, from the concrete footings, gate manufacture, and installation of gate automation, etc.
The D5-EVO Solar motor, with battery operation, means this gate is not reliant on power from the grid. A perfect solution for the environment, and means there was no need to have an electrician wire the site. As this gate is approximately 400 meters from the home, this is a cost saver as well as convenient.
To ensure maximum power availability, we upgraded the standard 60w solar panel kit, to a 120w panel, and the battery from a 33Ah battery to a 60Ah battery. This upgrade was necessary due to a number of factors:
- the amount of hardwired accessories in addition to the motor drawing larger amounts of power,
- to offset lower sunshine hours during winter months, and
- as their only entrance, it is important to have a consistent and continuous supply of power.
The final result, as shown in the image gallery below, is a beautiful and functional gateway that frames the entrance to their home.
