Ignoring the car antennae, we can have a look at this historic house on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill. As the second oldest surviving home in all of San Francisco, built in 1852.

As an Automatic Driveway Gate with no clearance for above-grade motors, the contractors have installed the SEA 400 motors that are below grade and hidden from view. The Double Driveway Gates sit and hinge on a pivot pin embedded into the motors. For optional in-grounds procedures, using the Viking I-8 In-Ground motors and NOT requiring metal saddle brackets, see Product Specifications.

Although the In-Ground motors are approximately double the cost of standard motors, it provides a clean solution to out-swing gates (above-ground motors are always on the swing-side of the gates). As well as those sites where there is a limit on where a standard motor can be placed, such as this application. ( —Eventually, the brick will be laid in to to cover the motor housings.)
