Cantilever gate I had installed on my property in July of 2019. Below are answers to some of the questions that have been asked.

The gate panel is 24 feet long and the opening is 15 1/2 feet. Whatever gate opening you choose, the panel needs to be 50% longer than the opening for the cantilever. The support posts are 4" diameter, I believe schedule 80, and are set 4 feet into the ground. The nylon rollers are 4" diameter. The gate frame is overbuilt with 2 5/8" pipe. The gate panel weighs about 600 pounds.


The opener is a Liftmaster RSL12UL. I chose it because it works with my MyQ garage door system so that I can open and close the gate remotely from my phone as well as remotes. It's expensive but well made and works smoothly. My yard is on a dangerous corner and it was very risky for me to stop in the street to open the gate, especially when I'm towing one of my trailers.

Only problem with I've had is when GFI circuit it's on tripped and I didn't realize it, the gate worked on the battery until it ran down and then gave me an error that the main board was faulty. Once the battery was fully charged, the gate worked again and haven't had a problem with it since.
