So this is how I looked after my son released the handbrake on the car and drove over me and the gate

The gate however didn't make it. It's a standard gate that is on hinges, and you slide it back and forth to open it. it wasn't perfect to begin with, but since the car knocked it out the metal it runs along is even more damaged. Who would be a good person to contact to repair a non-electronic gate?

STS lives near me :erm:

As to your question, ask any metal welder in the area to assist. The gate at my parents gate did the same and that "fixed" it.

I'll prod my dad and ask him but doubt it was more than One or Two hundred bucks odd.
