I am planning to install an electric gate (swing gate style) on my property.
I will get my Electrician mate to handle the electrics (while i peep over his shoulder
), but I will do all the rest of the work - digging, poles, hooking up components etc.
I have a list of components as I originally wanted someone to fit but being a keen DIYer, I am now doing it myself. My style of gate (steel gate) is one where the shorter side is 1.8m high rising to 2.4m high.
The guy who provided parts list suggested i need 150mmx150mmx6mmx3m steel posts. I plan to dig in my poles so wondering why i need 3m rather than 2.4m. The side with the lugs is 1.8m high so figured i could then drill a hole 600mm deep. Am i getting my math wrong?
