Clay Soil Stability
Posts must penetrate deep enough to counter shrink-swell cycles. CountBricks auto-adjusts concrete volumes based on Shelby County geotechnical data.
Freeze/Thaw Protection
Motors include insulated housings to prevent winter failure. Our AI spec sheet recommends models rated for 0 °F operation when frost depth exceeds six inches.
Storm Resilience
CountBricks designs wind-load bracing for gates facing open fields that can see gusts over 90 mph during spring storms.
• Gate width – Every extra foot adds material and a heavier motor.
• Power run – Longer electrical trenching increases labor and conduit costs.
• Access controls – Keypad, keypad plus remote, or full smart-home integration affect hardware totals.
• Finish choice – Powder-coat colors beyond standard black carry up-charges.
• Permit fees – Municipal review fees vary by neighborhood; CountBricks factors them in automatically.
CountBricks partners with regional lenders offering same-day approvals so you can spread payments over 12 to 60 months. All gate operators include a five-year motor warranty, and CountBricks workmanship is covered for two full Memphis seasons of heat and ice.
• Install a surge suppressor to protect electronics from summer lightning strikes.
• Opt for battery backup if your street experiences frequent outages.
• Schedule annual lubrication each April before peak pollen levels.
• Add a pedestrian gate to reduce motor cycles and extend lifespan.
• Keep vegetation trimmed 18 inches away from photo-eyes for uninterrupted safety sensing.

When the Parker family bought a mid-century ranch in East Memphis, the existing chain-link gate required them to leave the car running in the street while unlocking a rusty padlock. They contacted CountBricks for a safer, sleeker alternative.
• Gate Type – 14-foot dual swing, powder-coated black steel
• Operator – 24-volt DC motor with battery backup and Wi-Fi module
• Access – Smartphone app, keypad, and two visor remotes
• Extras – Integrated LED down-lighting for nighttime visibility
1. Voice Estimate in 6 Minutes
Mr. Parker used the CountBricks mobile assistant to describe driveway width and slope. The AI pulled current steel prices and produced a $9,880 proposal on the spot.
2. Instant Blueprint Takeoff
A PDF of the plat map was uploaded. CountBricks detected utility easements and suggested a five-foot setback, preventing future municipal conflicts.
3. Seamless Scheduling
Because fabrication occurs off-site, the Parker driveway stayed accessible until installation day. Our crew completed post setting, motor wiring, and system commissioning in eight hours.
4. Digital Close-Out
The warranty, maintenance reminders, and final invoice populated automatically in the CountBricks client portal. The family paid online and left the driveway that same evening without ever touching a padlock again.
• Entry time cut from 2 minutes to 10 seconds
• Property value increased by an appraised $15,000
• Zero motor issues after the first Memphis freeze, thanks to insulated housings
“CountBricks combined the tech we wanted with hometown service. I wish every contractor worked this way,” said Mrs. Parker.
