BEST AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER GHOST CONTROLS 

Thank you so much for a perfect video with legit how to, a little humor, solid editing, and simply fun to watch!

In 2006 I was injured from a military accident. It was nice to see a hard working man hands. You're video was spot on for the opener. We are going to attempt to install one this week or next. I will be checking back if i run into problems. Thanks for the video

Great DIY video. This is exactly what RU-vid videos should all look like. You made a good one. Keep them coming and thanks.

Solar-powered ghost controls is the way to go for sure. After several years if your gate start squeaking and grabbing take the move her arm pull the pins turned it upside down take the bolts out, put the bolts in a cup some of them might stay in there not fall out. Then separate the plastic from the two sides of the arm, and spray in there with knocker loose on the corkscrew on the thread portion. Let it drip out of the plastic arm cover by turning it sideways. Then after about a half an hour or so spray it with WD-40. Then let it dry up about 15 to 20 minutes. Then put it back together. Now your gate won't grab and it won't squeak as mine did from so many years on the dirt driveway driveway.

This was an excellent how-to video. I installed mine and wasn't sure how to do the settings for the control arm opening and close. Your video showed me how to do that. Thanks!

Finally someone down to earth, this is how you do it and that's how it works. Saved for later to review it again. GetRDone !

Thanks for taking your time explaining the installation of the gate opener. I watch several different videos by far you are the best. You took time step by step explaining the details.

Very thorough unlike many, nice fence build, keep it rolling - thank you

Great video, love these product reviews! When I get my property I will definitely be getting this!

Now that's a nice gate opener! I bought the Mighty Mule 4 years ago, this one takes a crap will buy the Ghost. Those are some good looking gates you built.

I just finished building my gate. I went Apollo 1050 board w/816 actuators, high security keypad, and a cartel exit sensor. I also splurged and got the super remotes that work for like a mile away...I took my battery system off board. I am using a Rover 400w Solar system with two walmart deep cycles for a total of 200ah. I should be able to open and close as much as one could ever desire without running dead. I found the build quality of Apollo Boards and Actuators to be top quality. Probably the biggest difference in my system vs this ghost is its more of a commercial build with all aspects being able to be service with different companies parts if required. I am wondering how the ghost plastic boxes will handle the uv and seasonal stress. I know modern plastic have lots of UV inhibitors, but I feel like those even get brittle with time. Anyhow, please do take a look at my setup. I just posted my video last night and am excited about it and want to share it with you!

Working on my dual push to open control today and using your vid for reference. Thank you sir

Great video man! Just encouraged me to pull the trigger and order me one. I’ve been debating it for a while now. Tired of having to open/close the gate myself lol Definitely saving to refer back to!

This is great....getting ready to install this system on some massive entrance gates I made for a customer. Instead of posts, we powder coated some I-beams and made custom hinges. Looks trick. I have to make some special closure arm hinge brackets for the I-beams. It's nice to see this visual....the manual alone would have been much harder!

Just bought one. Your video will be helpful for setup and install. The safety force feature looks like it works great, 24:50.

from the UK, fantastic video of a great product, thank you.

Absolutely the best directions I have seen. Great job

Best ghost control opener install video yet!!!! Thanks, can’t wait to get mine. Waiting for delivery😞

Just about the best review/install video i've seen...on almost anything!!!! Just today ordering my Ghost system and watching your vid cemented the purchase. Thank you SO much; aloha from Hawai'i!

Great directions and details. 5 Star ⭐️ Explanation.

No BS review! Thank you!!

I'm impressed. Shopping between ghost and Mighty Mule currently. Thanks for the review. Also I applaud seeing someone run their diagonal supports the correct way as well on the wooden gate!

I just installed a Ghost gate opener. I am happy with mine except it's not a fast as my old system.You did an excellent job putting the opener on. Also your gates looks great! Just a thought, you might need to connect the upright beams later. They will need that support. I'm gonna subscribe so I can watch your projects.

Excellent, excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Looking at purchasing Ghost Control (single arm pull, solar) sometime in the next 30-60 days. This was very good information.

Great video 👍🏻Thanks, this is what I’ll get later on this year. Maybe it won’t get vandalized .

Great video man..followed your video and had no issues installing mine! Thanks

Great job! I appreciate the video.

great video, I just bought the same kit, i'll be installing it next weekend

I try to stay away from videos this long but you made this video easy to watch. Good job! Was considering Ditec Entrematic gate opener for a bi-folding gate but now looking at Ghost. I’ll call them to discuss options like you did. Once again, good job. Thx

Great video. You should be a spoke man for Ghost Control, or at they should pay you something. You got me sold! Going to order mines now! Thanks bud for the great video.

Im about to buy and install one myself... only thing thats going to be a bit tricky is digging a trench under my driveway thats asphalt with stone under it. Going to have to rent or get someone to come out with the tool for the job.

Great video. Thank you for your time.

I love this video. Thank you for making it! I plan on doing a fence this summer with gates across my driveway.. what is the best way to run the wire if you can’t dig a trench between them and don’t want to tunnel under your driveways? Any help would be great!

Points of respect. Nice clean install. Note if using solar do not use wired exit sensor. Use ghost wireless. When batteries get low charge voltage can trip sensor and opener goes crazy.

Great information for install. Thanks!

Great video. Thank you.

Great Video, Ready to try it Myself,

Thanks I like the info

Nice and informative video thanks

Great review!

Big help with my decision

Great video brother 👍

Had to replace my dog's metal collar because he learned if he would sniff the sensor the gate would open for him. Now he thinks the damm gate is broken.

Out Standing! 👌🏻

great vid!

Nice review boss.

Wonderful video! I just subscribed!!

Hi buddy can you reply with a how to install the exit wand video or a what wire goes to which section in the green electric port? Your video helped me so much speed the process of installing my gate thank you Sir!

I love your beard. It looks very good on you.

I just bought the Ghost Control (single gate) solar but when I called the customer service, prior to ordering, they said that they do not recommend their batteries but recommend a 12v marine battery. I bought the 30w solar panel and was ready to buy two of their batteries (only need one but I like to have two incase one dies from over use or something) but was waved off. The reason was something to do with solar vs ac power used to charge the batteries. The three boxes of ghost gear is in the garage and will be installed this weekend after I pickup the battery locally and get the 4X4 posts to mount the pushbuttons and the control panel. I am re-watching some of the videos to make sure I don't miss anything. You gate seems to be a distance from your house, do you have a security camera and light. My gate is way down the driveway and I am looking at solar power for a light and camera. N

Good video 👍

As someone who has installed a double gate operator like this, I have a couple of notes for those who hope to do the same. With two gates, these two batteries will give you about 8 cycles open close before you are damaging the batteries if there is no permanent power supplied. So this means after dark, using solar charging, you have about 8 cycles with this setup. This of course depends on your weight, length of the gate and wind. And the wire for the second motor, is not long enough for the maximum gate size that is stated as the largest. They say that the largest gate size is if I recall 16ft. Well I have two 13ft gates and the wire is about 3ft short after putting through a conduit 6” down. And the operator control box is only 18” up right on the other side. Using a pull to open setup, if the wind blows, it is possible that the two gates will not meet exactly in the center. If you use a push setup then the gate will meet in center every time, but on the open they may be varying in how open they get to. If you have the opener bracket farther from the post that the gate is mounted on, not too far, this will help from the motor hitting the post when fully closed or open. Whichever depending on your setup.

good video and great info...so tell me, now its more than a year later...hows it working

Great video on the ghost controls, did you make your gate or purchase it? Do you have any drawings/“plans” for them I’m trying to design one for myself.

Great video I’m curious what where your other options and why you did not go with ?

The pins and retainers make attaching the openers to the brackets easy, but not very secure. It looks like it would be easy to reach in and pull the pin and open the gate. Just an observation. Overall good job, like your stuff.

What kit did you get for your gate? I think I need that same kit. I just built two 10ft gates and I’m going to have them pull into the house.

I already have the metal decorative gates, which are 2 - 10' gates and 2 - 10' x 4" square heavy metal posts to mount to. A company from Myrtle Beach SC wants $15,000.00 to mount and automate them. Can you say he's nuts? 😮

Hi what's up,thanks for making things easy for me am about to install an opener to my gate.so how much this one cost you

Cool....Does it work when overcast?

Great video! Is that the architectural or the heavy duty duel opener kit?

Bro that beard is beast.

Do you have plans for your gates? they look simple and great!

Great video. Did you do a video on how you built the gate with your son? Would love to see how you built a gate like that.

We got all metal pipes So do I weld it or what Will I be able to adjust it?

Doubt you’ll see this, but do you (or does anyone) have a long-term review on these Ghost openers? I have been through 3 different Mighty Mule systems on the ranch, & am finished… Hoping the Ghost system may be a better quality. Thoughts?

How is this thing holding up? We just picked one up today at Agri supply in petersburg. Trying to make the farm a little more secure with everything going on. we have a hard pinch point with steep hills on either side. We're putting in 2 12's with the zombie lock. It's expensive. if they really want in they're getting in but at that point they're breaking in. That provides intent not just "taking the wrong turn lost" which drastically changes the way they will be greeted. Getting the cuddy link setup tomorrow too so we'll have real time picture surveillance.

Off topic question for you or anyone reading. We want to do a gate like this for our home, but have one issue. How do you get your packages from Fedex, UPS etc.?

MY DOG LEFT THE ROOM WITH THE BEEPING LOL

Did your kit come with the adapter bracket shown to screw the other end of the operator arm to the gate? All I have seen is the tube style adapter only. I just bought my opener but haven't opened it to see if it has multiple brackets for different gate types. My gate has vertical square tubes across both gates. Thanks

Great video, Is that a camera that you have mounted looking at your gate ?

Excellent job, how is it holding up?

how is it bud? good buy? any issues?

Do you order and get receive package from Amazon etc. And how do you do delivery trucks

Where did you get the gate hinges any links?

Do you have anything to add now that you've had the Ghost gate opener for 3 months? Any issues or things you would do different? Thank you!

Looks like you have another job opportunity selling and installing those gate systems

@CURRIN1776 I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these setups. Any complaints or comments after a year of use? Thanks for the informative straight forward video!

is there a way to adjust how far your gates open thx

Nice video…..can you program a mighty mule remote to work with this

How do you get all the wires to fit through the control board holes in the bottom? Its too snug of a fit

How has this system held up over the last 2 years?

I want to order this but not exactly sure what all I have to order I’m a little confused any help?

how are the gate opener doing 2 years later?

How is it holding up? Get a lot of mixed reviews.

Does it hold the gate tight? I use mine to keep the dogs in. Wondering if I need to add the lock or not.

Yo, can you open it manually?

Will the built in garage door opener in my truck open the gate?

First!

Are you still liking the gate opener?

What about a gate latch?

How has it held up after 1 year?

Can you open this manually if needed?

I need to figure out how to reset the main panel because my open/close is messed up. open and close are NOT where I want them to be......Wonder if unplugging the batteries would reset it??

What is your neck knife?

Still like it?

How much that cost

I have a solid panel gate . Worried about the wind anyone in the same boat?

This thing surely looks and sounds like the Mighty Mule. Are we sure its not a Mighty Mule sister company?

Cost$?
