Automatic Gate Resource Center (AGRC) publishes Automatic Driveway Gates, a primer for consumers and new fence and gate professionals.

Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/19/2014 -- Automatic Gate Resource Center (AGRC) has written the book on automatic gates. Available on Amazon.com, Automatic Driveway Gates: Budgeting, Designing, Maintaining, and Installing is a primer on gates for consumers and new fence and gate professionals alike. The book currently holds the distinction of being the only one of its kind.

On Amazon, the book's description proclaims that it is a guide "for consumers who want to understand the complexities of automatic driveway gate design and installation without wading through the technical mumbo jumbo… Our hope is that you'll take what you learn in these pages and use it to work in seamless partnership with a quality driveway gate installation company."

"Every day we hear the same types of questions from new customers: 'How much does an automatic gate system cost?'; 'What type of gate would be best for my driveway?'; 'I don't even know what my options are,' they'll say," shares Josiah Fuerte, co-founder of Automatic Gate Resource Center. "There hasn't been a central place for consumers to easily find the answers. Before AGRC, everything available online was speaking in the language of a technician and not of a consumer," he adds.

The reviews on Amazon seem to indicate that consumers are indeed looking for the information on AGRC and in Automatic Driveway Gates.

AGRC was developed with the consumer front of mind. The site's library of articles answer questions most consumers have about gate systems, are written in a jargon-free style, and lead consumers by the hand through the, up-until-now, esoteric world of automated gates. Although Automatic Driveway Gates borrows from the many articles on AGRC, much of the content is new or completely revised, and the book lays out, in logical order, the steps to designing and installing a safe and ideal gate system.

Fuerte has been an automated gate installer for nearly two decades, running his own gate installation business for the most recent ten years. He noticed that, although customers were finding gate installation companies online, ironically, they weren't finding the answers they needed online to design and price out a safe gate system and to make educated purchases. He co-founded Automatic Gate Resource Center and co-wrote Automatic Driveway Gates with his business partner partly as a way to solve this problem.

Automatic Driveway Gates will soon be available digitally on Google Play, BarnesandNoble.com, and iTunes, among other online bookstores, as well as in paperback.

On AGRC's website, along with educating consumers on automatic gates, gate system installers, manufacturers, and distributors share and gain access to tips, instructions, and online training on equipment, installation, and technical and sales issues. The subscription-based gate professional community and education portal is set to officially tee off at FenceTech, a fence and gate industry tradeshow held this year in Las Vegas from March 6-8, 2014.

Automatic Driveway Gates: Budgeting, Designing, Maintaining, and Installing can be purchased on Amazon.

Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/20/2014 -- Automatic Gate Resource Center (AGRC) is set to launch its gate professional membership program at FenceTech 2014.

AGRC educates and connects consumers and gate professionals to create beautiful and safe automatic driveway gates. On AGRC's website, along with educating consumers on automatic gates, gate system installers, manufacturers, and distributors share and gain access to tips, instructions, and online training on equipment, installation, and technical and sales issues. The subscription-based gate professional community and education portal is set to officially tee off at FenceTech, a fence and gate industry tradeshow held this year in Las Vegas from March 6-8, 2014.

While at the show, fence and gate professionals, distributors, and manufacturers can take AGRC for a test drive with live demonstrations, and sign up for a free trial membership, allowing those industry professionals access to all of the features and benefits AGRC has on offer.

"We've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest the membership program has already attracted, even in its infancy," says Josiah Fuerte, co-founder of Automatic Gate Resource Center. "We're currently in our beta phase and have already fielded a number of questions about our upcoming launch."

The response to the beta program, a limited launch meant to garner feedback from industry insiders, has helped confirm that there's a definite place for AGRC's community and education offerings.

Bill Grant, Seattle Branch Manager at Controlled Product Systems Group, believes AGRC's education offerings can have an impact on installers' bottom line. "At AGRC, you will find a means for serious end-users to research the reality of every aspect of the process of determining the best gate system to meet their specific application requirements," says Grant. "This educational website will provide a much faster sales and installation process for the installing dealer."

Buddy Whited, Lead Technician at Automated Access Systems in Perris, CA, finds AGRC's community building aspect to be a valuable benefit. "A community where gate installation professionals can discuss technical issues, system design, and gate safety with each other is sorely needed," shares Whited.

Bob Vetter, Northwest Regional Sales Manager at HySecurity, appreciates AGRC's commitment to championing safety. "Where safety is the chief concern," says Vetter, "there are no short cuts. AGRC takes the process of automating gates and provides a concise and easy to understand path to a safe and satisfying installation."

AGRC will launch with an ever-expanding library of knowledge base articles and videos on sales, installation, and maintenance issues, as well as industry news and insights, a lead generation program, and a community forum through which professionals can get quick answers to difficult and complex questions.

"AGRC is committed to helping gate professionals expand their installation and service knowledge. We want to make sure our membership base of automatic gate professionals can access timely training and answers that are available when and where they need it," adds Fuerte.

At FenceTech, fence and gate professionals can visit booth 1080 to learn more about how AGRC can benefit them, while winning a chance at a few grand prizes.
