re: Outdoor driveway swing gate opener recommendations?

I just went through this research for 2 6ft privacy gates and i'll provide my opinion based on what I found. You'll never regret more than you need since this gate opener will be working alot along with any wind events or accidents that could break the hydraulic rod. I had to accept this and spend more but I likely won't regret it.

That said, i was looking at might mule and ghost controls as these 2 are the more affordable residential gate openers. Lift masters appears to be better but will also cost you more ($1k+). I ended up going with ghost controls because their heavy duty version held more weight and fit my installation needs better whereas Mighty mule has had mixed reviews and didn't have as strong of a gate opener for my needs.
