Creating the gate of corrugated board with their own hands

Many people wonder how to make the gate of corrugated board with his own hands, because it will help to save considerably on maintenance.

Installation and manufacture gate - not such a complicated case, and, if you have a minimum experience of repair work, it is quite cope with it with his own hands.

is best for the production of gates, or gates suitable corrugated board: it is strong, resistant to moisture, has a wide range of colors that will make the gate is not only durable, but also beautiful.

Another plus - this stuff is not heavy, so installation is a simple gate.

In this article you will get step by step instructions on how to collect the swing gate of corrugated board.

The following photos, video and drawing to help you cope with this problem to your design of the corrugated board to be not worse, done by professionals.

Options construction and choice of material

There are several ways to create a gate of corrugated board, and is likelyeach design types will look attractive due to material properties.

Swing gates - the most common.The reason is that they are easy to assemble with their hands, and they are quite beautiful and durable.

Swing gates, in contrast to the gate, does not require a lot of space to open, so they can be built even in small areas, or where the house is adjacent to the gates close.

Those with more experience in repair work, can try to make a gate in the form of an arch.To produce it easy, but it looks very impressive - you can see in the photo.

However, the beautiful can be a simple hinged rectangularwicket, because you can always complement the design elements of decorative forging that give the gate a custom design and attractive appearance.

Beautiful swing gate with the elements of forging can also be done by hand, although it is more expensive and out of conventional design.

However, you can save on attracting wizard: you can order a metal decorative elements for design ornaments and install them yourself - then the creation of the wicket will not cost a lot of money.

Dimensions built-gate should be no more than one meter, otherwise the design will be too heavy and did not fit into the space allotted for it.

If you want a bigger gate, you have to find a more stable and powerful supporting columns and loops.A suitable height of the built-in wicket - no more than 2 meters.

For higher frame structure is provided with a jumper from the top, which will relieve the support post, and thus compensate for the impressive weight of the gate.

Rama design in this case is constructed of two supporting pillars.

Before starting work on the gate, prepare all the necessary tools to not be distracted by this in the future.

to work you will need:

• corrugated sheets;
• rectangular pipe having a cross section 60h4 mm;
• screws, equipped with a rubber washer (Pick up the color of their corrugated board);
• loop;
• lock (lock can be mounted or mortise of your choice);
• level;
• roulette;
• screwdriver;
• drill;
• sander;
• shears for metal working (can be replaced with a hacksaw);
• welding machine;
• shovel;
• gravel and concrete solution.

cope with the work, even if you have little experience in the construction and repair works, you can help video and photo set forth below.

Stages

drawing showing the dimensions of the gate - the first thing you need to do to create a design.

Since wickets standard sizes, you can take the finished drawing, and not to engage in the manufacture of its own.

Next you need to choose the material of which will be made pillars frame structure.

It is selected in accordance with the intake material - metal or wooden boards require racks made of pipe.

For brick and stone fences, use brick or concrete to create posts.

Installation of all types of buildings made in the concrete foundation, the depth of which should be the same as the depth of freezing ground - should know it in advance, so as not to make a mistake.

bottom for foundation design within the need to lay gravel and well compacted it.

Before pouring the concrete, the walls need to deepen lay roofing felt or a film made of polyethylene - it will serve as waterproofing layer, and the design will be more reliable.The following

framing fabrication of the structure.It is made of a rectangular steel pipe size having a 60x40 mm cross section.

Pre clean off any dirt and rust with a wire brush, or use a grinder with a special brush-range - then it will go faster.

After cleansing, you can engage in the manufacture the necessary parts.The hands is done as follows: first crop ends of vertical angles, as well as cross members above and below 45 degrees.

work with the elements does not end there - you need to ends belonging to the middle cross member, installed perpendicular to the workpiece axis.

fabricated metal parts wicket to join in a single construction using the welding machine.

to in the article were not distortions due to uneven heating of the tool, you need to do all connections joints the size of 2-3 cm

If the dimensions of the gate exceeds the standard, the connections need to be made more stringent with special gussets -. Parts, shapedright-angled triangle.

their legs to cook with adjacent parts.On the need to weld the frame finished hinges, handles, so that the gate was easy to open, and the plate on which the lock is installed.

After welding is finished, the design should be clear from the scale and composition of the cover against corrosion.The last step should be priming and painting the color of the wicket gate.

When the carcass for the production of the gate is completed, it is necessary to sheathe his Decking.

If you have not previously performed similar work with their hands, then watch the video as it is done before proceeding to the skin.

to cut out the sheet of corrugated board, use a hacksaw or scissors for metal.

best not to use grinders, becauseit will ruin the anti-corrosion coating, and construction will not corrode.The crests of each wave must be equipped with self-tapping screws.

Twist them without pressure, the gasket made of rubber was not fully pressed.If it is too deformed head screw, it eventually crack and need to change it.

Installation lock

lock for the gate is set at a height of 90 cm from the ground.

consignment lock can be used - in this case the construction is mounted on the inner side of the gate, while the mounting hole must be similar to the average transverse frame member and the core should be above or below it.

core holes drilled along the contour, and then finish using the cutter.To secure the castle, you need to make a hole for the screw - it cut out a drill and tap.

The hands can also make a mortise lock, it will be a little bit easier.

For this purpose, rectangular tube frame mounted design, pre-drilled in the pipe a few holes for fasteners.

Installing wicket

Installation design on loop - the next stage of work.For this purpose, support post hinges must thus be welded to the bottom part between the gate and the ground clearance was 100 mm.

If your concrete or brick pillars, the hinge need to be welded to the embedded plate.

On the second rack to install the bump - it is necessary to design swung open only in the right direction.

Here you need to make a groove for the bolt under the castle.

to choose its location, put on a rack or other filler material leaves a trail, slam the gate and lock it - where will print, and should be done groove.

For it is possible to drill a hole on the circuit, or make it a grinder.If you choose grinders, make a diagonal and vertical sections that will connect them to the opposite point.

So you get two triangles that need to bend and cut.

How to install hinges, locks and punch conduct other work, you can see on the video in the article - use it to clarify for themselves unclear point for working with Wicket.

AND gate of corrugated board and swing gates need, from time to time to clean the dirt.But do not use solvent for these purposes, asit destroys the anti-corrosion coating of corrugated board.

suitable for cleaning ordinary soapy water.To lubricate the hinges and lock gates suitable machine oil or grease.

To design is not jammed, lubricate the hinges and locking must be constantly.Himself profiled in color is not needed - just pick the color for swing gates.

To design looked organically, buy material for the gate and the gate at the same time.However, you need to paint the metal poles.

If they are made of brick or concrete, only the stained inserts.Update the paint once a year.
