    Looking for advice- have existing metal gates need shot blasting and galvanising. Want to fit either rogers underground gates or worm screw to the posts. What are the best options for this set up? Gates are about 14' wide I think. Cheers

    We had ram's mounted on the wall and attached to the gates. They looked awful and constantly broke down. We then fitted underground rams which have worked great but do need to be cleaned out 2-3 times per year.

    Yes I think we will go with the underground motor as fitted that before for my dad and got a sparks to do the wiring etc. not sure we can fit a ram with the gate setup. Thanks
