I installed a Mighy Mule electric gate opener on the gate that leads to the cabins. We don't want any of our well-heeled visitors to dirty their shoes when they stay with us!

t's a simple device. It can open with the keypad or with a remote, and there is a device that detects changes in magnetic field (i.e. a moving car) that opens the gate as you leave. It automatically closes after 15 second.

And yes, I am now officially an electric gate expert and will duly add it to my resume.
