On these striking all-wood privacy gates the heavy-duty E-S 1602 was used to automate them. As you can see from the outside picture, the gates blend pleasantly with the surroundings of the house. Since the gate is a solid gate it still runs the risk of obstructing in the wind, but using the E-S 1602 was a smart choice as the added amperage pull of a large gate will not draw down on a battery like in most DC openers (the E-S 1602 is constant duty and runs off the transformer directly).
