it comes with basically everything you will need to get it going. The anchors would be a nice addition, I used 3/8 in and is very solid, make sure you start with a good foundation. On my install I timed it with the concrete pour for the gate so is one big slab of concrete and it is solid. My electrical box is on the opposite side of the driveway so I used the gate track and ran the thermostat cable under it, perfect for my needs.
