Most Automatic Swing Gates need to have a galvanized steel or aluminium frame to withstand the forces put on them by electric motors. Swinging timber gates can be automated if they are well made and operated by what is called an articulated arm, which puts far less stress on the timber frame. These motors however, need more room for operation on both sides of the gates. It is wise to select quality motors with automation to stand the test of time. At Leisurewood, we provide a 2 year warranty on FAAC and Beninca motors, and a 1 year warranty on labour.
