Part 2 of Installing a Saw Cut Preformed Loop for automatic gates at The Fence University.
In this segment of The Fence University, the discussion continues the installation process for a saw-cut preformed loop used with automatic gates. The speaker clarifies how the loop wire should be handled once it has been placed into the cut groove, emphasizing that it should be kept taut and positioned carefully so it stays aligned with the routed channel. The conversation also notes the importance of understanding the correct insertion direction, since the wire is fed into the groove in a specific way that can easily be misunderstood at first. They then describe how to settle the wire into the cut using a pizza-roller-style tool, which helps press the loop neatly into place along the groove. The speaker stresses lining up the wire with the cuts already made and confirms that the loop fits properly when installed at the correct 3/16-inch size. The final orientation is also mentioned, with the black side facing up and the right side down, reinforcing that the setup is all about proper placement and consistency for a clean, functional automatic gate loop installation.

Now, once we've done that, we're going to position it and run it into the groove. You're basically going to hold it kind of taut. So, you're going to hold it off the corner that way. It's going to kind of roughly hold it in place. I'm going to start running back, stepping it in a little bit here and there. Now, would you use the pizza roller thing now? Yes. Okay. We're going to position on top of the groove. Make sure everything lines up with the cuts we made. And then you're going to shove it in, which you're kind of already positioning on top of the groove to do so. And the wire is nice and taut. Fits easily into the groove. Exactly 316, which is what the size is. Right down. Yeah, right side down, black side up. That makes it technically now it's just how it's just how we set it up over there.
