Thanx for the kind words. The opening between the gate columns is 12' 2", which is pretty standard for most entry gates. That will accomodate a 12' gate plus 2" for the hinges. The max width for vehicles allowed by federal regulations is 9', so I don't anticipate any problems. Camera's can trick the eye sometimes, around the holidays they even make me look fat! The distance between the gate columns and the columns by the road is 40', between the gate columns and the edge of road is 58'. Here is another perspective that shows the width with a vehicle in it.
