While installing Tacoma Iron Works DIY Gate kit, it is advised to seek the help of a professional electrician when needed.  Some areas require a driveway gate permit for the installation of a driveway gate.  Look into your local codes for direction on this before proceeding.

Utility Locate

When digging for the concrete footings a utility locate is required by law.  This avoids the possible damage to electrical, natural gas lines, and other underground utilities.  These services are typically free and can be done with a couple days’ notice.  From our experience utilities are typically ran down the side of a driveway and are a potential safety hazard if not located.  Do your due diligence and have a locate done before digging.    

Kit includes the following:

-1” Threaded Rod Cages are set into the concrete footings and allow for adjustment when needed.

-Operators brackets are attached to the posts and gate leafs requiring no welding onsite. 

-An optional 3” pipe can be added to steel posts when a lighted post is desired.  Access hole for electrical will be added to the post as well.    

-Standard clear opening of all gate kits is 16’.

-Powder coat finish, and mild steel construction is the typical build, but options for other materials and coatings are available upon request.  

-Optional battery backup is available in the event of a power outage, and will allow the gate to cycle numerous times running off the batteries alone.
