The reason I went motor was it was hard to push..after I fitted new wheels ( but too late as I had installed motors) I found it manageable...the other night I opened by pushing

Adding the gate motor was a challenge and the main problem ( apart from not releasing the securing mechanism and destroying it trying to open) comes from the roof not having necessary support ( like the bar in the letter A) because the gate motor prevents this.....however even this issue I have overcome.....it openned nicely tonight and is still open and even though I can operate the remote from bed I must still go down to switch stuff off and throw covers over the scopes....already there is ice everywhere...
