Gates made ​​of profiled sheet with his hands

Profiled - is a modern, low-cost, good-looking, high-quality and easy-to-arrangement of the material.From it you can make yourself remarkable goal.How?Read on!

Learning design goal

We will do the most simple of the two gate valves.Having mastered the technique, you will be able to construct more complex designs: sliding, lifting, etc.

Gate Valves can be plowed in and out.At this point guided by the features of the site and their preferences.The most popular option - an external plowing.

structure consists of support legs, frame and trim.To assemble the frame and supports commonly used tubes and profiles.The diameter of the tubes and profiles sizes are selected individually, taking into account the size and weight of the future gate.The main burden will fall on the outer frame members.For the manufacture of the inner parts can use smaller profile.Plating is performed profiled sheets.

Select the size of the valves

Before you begin, it is important to determine the optimal size of hinged flaps.At this point guided by the dimensions of the vehicle, which will pass through erecting gates.

So, for the passage of most cars is sufficient gate width of 4 m. The opening of the truck will have to expand by an average of up to 6 m. On this basis, we calculate the width of each leaf.Pick up height at its discretion.The most commonly erected gate height of 2-2.5 m.

Tip:Make the size of the gate with some reserve, because it is possible that in the future, you will buy new vehicles, which will have a more impressive dimensions in comparison with the existing machine.

To work went faster and easier, prepare a drawing of future gate with dimensions of all construction elements.

Making foundation

first step. note the location for the installation of the vertical supports.Total of 3 pillars will be: one for fixing the gate and a pair of mounting flaps.

second step. digs holes with a diameter about 20-25 cm (depending on the size of the selected counters, on this later) for installation of supports.The depth of the pits forward so that it was approximately 30-35% of the height of the aerial part of the supports.We take into account that the height of the door leaf is usually done by 50 cm less than the height of supports.

Due to this stock will be provided with the necessary 20-30-inch gap between the ground and the bottom edge of the flaps, and the rest of the stock at the owner's request can be used to mount a variety of decorative elements at the top of the structure.

third step.We fall asleep the bottom of each well 10-15-cm layer of gravel.Thoroughly rammed a pillow.

fourth step. Cooking grout supports.Take part cement M400, a couple of pieces of sand and 4 parts of fine gravel.Mix the dry ingredients, gradually adding water thereto to give a mixture of viscous consistency.

fifth step. put in the pit support legs.They can be made from different materials, namely:

• bar section 15x15 cm;
• round logs with a diameter of 20 cm;
• channel iron beams with wall thickness of not less than 1.5 cm;
• shaped tube section 8x10 cm with walls no thinner than 7 mm.

level supports exhibit vertically and pour solution to the top of the wells.In the case of the wooden racks of pre-treated with antiseptic and deepens part wrap or roofing material prosmalivaem.

to metal supports were more resilient, we can attach a pre-welded to the lower ends of their 3-4 horizontal strips of reinforcing steel, metal brackets or tubes.

Give concrete grab.For this he needs a minimum of 2-3 days.According to GOST same concrete is gaining strength on average during the month.

until the concrete dries, let us manufacture the frame.

Making frame

Rama is desirable to dofrom the same material as the support.Most often, the rack and the frame are made of metal products.We assemble the frame of the profiled pipe.

To assemble the frame has a horizontal platform capable of freely accommodate at least one flap.

process is extremely simple: we need to cook the rectangular frame of the pre-chopped into pieces required pipe sizes (profile).The corners should be strictly straight.Make sure of this with the help of the polygon.

Cooked framework, strengthen its corners with steel corners.To make the frame more rigidity, its share in height by 3 roughly equal parts and welds on labels parallel horizontal jumper.Places connection jumper with the frame are also strengthening with steel corners.In these welds Gate hinge points.

Tip:There is another popular option carcass reinforcement.To do this in the middle of the frame to its vertical sides welded horizontal jumper separates the frame 2 of the same rectangle.Thereafter, each of the corners of the rectangles are connected by diagonal webs.Choose any of the two considered methods of hardening, they are both good.

frame for the gate is going the same way.If you want to make a gate leaf directly in the portal, collect frame in a slightly different order.For this weld rectangular sash frame selected transverse and longitudinal metal bridges, thereby forming the gate frame.The average size of the gate -. 80h180 see if possible stick to exactly these values.Places fastening loops on the flap is shifted to the upper and lower edges of the frame.

customized shutters to the posts

first step. Set the gate leaf on the stand, which can be made of timber, bricks or other suitable material.

second step. aligns the flap on all planes.

third step. Our frame elements are already present loop.Note the space for the second part of the connecting element to the support.Welded loop to the uprights on labels.

fourth step. hung sash.Remove the pedestal set in the beginning.

Similarly, assemble the frame of the second pillar.To design was even tougher, we can cook two extreme support from the gate pillars of our fences.

To improve the stability of the gate to wind loads, we can weld on the upper ends of the support legs horizontal bar of metal sheets.Actually only for those situations where the gate will pass only passenger transport.

One hinge part is welded to the front, the other to the frame, in the steel sheet before mounting cutout.

In conclusion, we can paint a portion of the carcass, which will remain on view after fixing profiled sheets.We select the paint color so that it is well in tune with the trapezoidal sheet and the color of the fence.

Fasten decking

width trapezoidal sheet is generally 110 cm. About 10 cm will be spent on the overlap.Thus, for a two-meter width of skin folds should be exactly 2 of the sheet material.If desired, the gate can be clad on both sides.

Fastening sheets perform with screws and hex head screws or rivets as special.It is better to color fasteners and base material was the same.

If necessary, pre-paint the fasteners.Bolts or rivets placed in the internal wave plate (the one that fits tightly to the frame).The fixation is performed in each wave shaped sheet.For greater convenience we can pre-make the holes in the frame to accommodate fasteners.

gate similarly sheathed flaps.It is only necessary to pre-cut sheets of size wicket.

Useful comments

Fence ready.To work was carried out with maximum quality, and the finished result to please you, check out some useful comments and consider them in the design process of manufacture.

1. gates are installed in a single plane with a fence.
2. gate and the gate should be equipped with reliable locks and comfortable handles.
3. Fences and gates should be in harmony in color as each other, and the surrounding landscape.

obtained knowledge will help you to make high-quality, reliable and beautiful gates of the profiled sheet with his own hands.Follow the instructions and all the necessary work.

Successful work!
