Sam bought a gate and gate opener from us. He did a great job on the installation and used posts behind the columns to make gate mounting and opener mounting easier, but we thought that we would let his own words do the talking, "The brick columns were already complete including power. Hanging the gate was a piece of cake compared to the other work. This was my first attempt at doing masonry work, and that's why I selected the recommended mounting posts. That was probably the best decision I made regarding the installation. The hinge mounting could have been a big problem without the posts. The gate is controlled with remotes and two key locked pushbuttons. The masonry work may have been a first attempt but it looks like he has been doing it for years, a true handyman.
