This highly decorative gate, a GateCrafters.com built gate, is automated using solar power. The solar opener Debbie has chosen to install is the top solar opener available, the Apollo. Apollos are the only opener built with solar specifically in mind. As you can see by the photo the Apollo blends well with the with the setup and is barely noticeable from the outside. The overall installation is clean, well balanced, professional... another example of a DIY success.
