Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

Electric and other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target.

Q: What is the gap between double gates?

• <div><p>Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. </p></div>

I have 2 acres with about 3 dozen full grown trees. They mowed this area in about 3 hours and did a great job. The price was about the best in the area and I could not give a better recommendation.
