OV9

It’s a fixed drive area, so debris should be minimal, but I did consider that and wondered if the leading edge has a soft brush attachment and a collector area at each end to prevent issues.

I’d guess it originally opened to the right, so has eased access compared to what was there before, which is probably the point.

And a two button fob at the gate plus booster would ease prompt access.. my parents neighbour did this so his gates were fully open by the time he arrived and such a simple addition was an absolute game changer for convenience.. even though it only saved about 10 seconds!

Siri Shortcuts are great for this. Press action button on iPhone, gate opens, lights turn on, 20 seconds later garage door opens just as you pull up, speakers start playing music. Can have a lot of fun with it
