Fence gate: types and step-by-step assembly instructions

To date, few people constructs gates of evroshtaketnik or simple boards. The modern market is saturated with all sorts of building materials, so there is plenty to choose from. Let's look at the variety of wickets for your fence and step-by-step assembly design.

The front door is the face of any area, so it must be decorated beautifully and aesthetically, because usually the general opinion is formed at the first impression. Now you can choose all sorts of ways to design the entrance. The gate should open freely, let the sunlight through to the surrounding plants, and also be as light as possible.

For convenience and functionality, it is equipped with a shed from all kinds of adverse weather conditions, as well as a call to call the owners.

In addition to the lock, the gate is always equipped with a latch for quick opening.It can be located in the gate itself and separately from them. Often for household needs, a second wicket is built for the back door on the other side of the site. The entrance gate is constructed entirely of metal, or the models combine wooden and forged materials. Currently, modern technologies use materials such as aluminum with a polymer coating and galvanized steel.

Modern gate can be equipped with a bell, canopy and lock. Next to it, you can install an LED lamp that reacts to movement and illuminates the space around it. Currently, there are many instructions, manuals and practical manuals with which you can independently design the gate for the site according to the drawings and sketches. Make it a force for everyone.

The advantages of the entrance gate for the fence depend primarily on their appearance. For example, the entrance door of the chain-link allows you to penetrate the sun's rays inside and view the territory. In addition, the tree is a natural material, which is characterized by environmental friendliness. However, wood has disadvantages.

For example, gates from a tree are bulky, they are distinguished by a large weight. therefore their frame must be durable. Such doors require constant periodic staining to protect the wooden surface from the adverse effects of weather factors. If you use decking as a material, your gate will be very easy. Advantages of a professional flooring consist in its low price and durability. The advantages at the gate are much greater than the disadvantages. This element of the fence will serve you long and reliably.

The material used for the gate, usually coincides with the material of the fence. Although, of course, exceptions are possible. It is always necessary to remember about the combinability of materials among themselves. Among the materials for the manufacture of gates and fences demanded raw materials are metal, corrugated or profiled sheet, wood (including evroshtaketnik) or mesh netting.

Wood is a very versatile material. From it you can construct a transparent and closed version of the gate. In addition, this material is durable. If we talk about the gates of corrugated or profiled sheet, their advantages are a large choice of colors and relatively simple installation.Of the negative sides, a greater prevalence of this material can be distinguished: such a fence with a wicket will not be unique.

One of the applications of the material for the gate is translucent polycarbonate. This material looks great in a reliable and strong frame and will serve you for a long time. Another similar material is colored plastic, that is, PVC.

Enumerate and consider in detail the types of entrance gates for the fence, depending on their material of manufacture, size and other characteristics. Based on the overall design of your site and home, you can use a wooden or metal wicket to the fence or a variety of evroshtaketnika. Instead of wood, wood is often used in combination with stone fencing. Can also apply and treated carved boards.

If you install a spring on your gate, it will automatically close, which is very convenient. Often use openwork and combined gates. In openwork designs used forging, welded mesh or picket fence. In the combined case, a hollow bottom, a forged top, is used, which makes it possible to lighten the entire structure. Wrought iron gate is well suited as a durable and beautiful element of the fence. Elements of forging can be combined with any material, including wood or metal.

For the construction of the gate, it is initially necessary to determine its type. The standard width and height of the wicket is usually 1 x 2 meters. Between the ground and the gate leave a small gap of 10-15 centimeters. Sometimes the height of the gate is 140 cm.

With these sizes you will freely watch people behind it. To do this, 20 centimeters at the top and bottom we leave the casing, while the height of the frame will be 100 cm. The width between the pillars is 1 meter. They attach special "boxed" bars with a thickness of 40 mm + a gap on each side of 10 mm. We get the width of the frame 900 mm.

Among the various characteristics of the entrance gate to the site, you can select the visual component and weight. The gate for the fence can be placed separately or be part of a large gate. However, depending on the model, it can be fixed inside the gate with hinges. In this case, no additional support columns will be needed, which is very convenient.

The style and design of the gate is directly dependent on the choice of material from which you will make it, as well as on taste preferences. For example, if you want to emphasize the palace theme, you can decorate the gate with forging elements. If you like the modern direction better, it is better to sheathe the gate with metal sheets. It is not only the form that matters, but the material itself.

If you use wood as a material, this allows you to arrange a gate in a rustic style or in the style of an Alpine chalet (translated from the French Chalet means "shepherd's hut"). In this case, focus on the conciseness of the form and decor.

The choice of the necessary tools when designing the gate depends on what material you are going to assemble it from. For example, for the gate from the proflist you may need:

• ruler and measuring tape;
• gon;
• Bulgarian;
• welding machine;
• scrap;
• Boer;
• shovel;
• drill or hammer drill;
• construction mixer for mixing concrete;
• screwdriver;
• garden drill.

If you want to make a gate for the fence with your own hands, you need to decide on the choice of its type. After this step, you can install the supports in the selected location. Then it is necessary to make a frame, sheathe it, make installation, install locks and bolts. To make a gate by yourself, it is necessary to weld the metal structure correctly, which will be the basis.

The place for the gate must be chosen in such a way that the approaches to it are comfortable from the inside and from the outside. Supports are chosen so that they can withstand the weight of the gate. therefore pillar foundation should be used. The pits are filled with rubble and sand, and the pipes are fixed with bricks and poured with concrete.

To construct the framework of the gate, use wooden beams or metal pipes. If the frame is metal, such a frame is connected with screws or by welding. In the corners of the frame are mounted scarves, and diagonally - diagonally. Then the necessary trim of the selected material is attached to the frame. The hinges to the supports of the gate are welded or screwed. Similarly (by welding or self-tapping screws) attach the handle and lock of the gate.

Another option - the gate on one post. It requires a pole from a profiled pipe 60x60 mm, as well as a panel from a square profile. The advantage of this door is that its locking elements hold the door leaf well and do not require the installation of a second pillar. Pillars for the front door to the site can be made of brick and a central steel core in the form of a pipe. At the very least, we give the gate a neat appearance. Grind, then primed and painted. Paint should be resistant to moisture, sun and abrasion.

Consider the beautiful examples and samples of wickets. The door to the site can be constructed from a variety of materials. Nowadays, wickets are often chosen, which look good with a modern design. Similar fence elements are constructed from welded mesh with figured V-shaped bends.

If you need a gate for a summer cottage or garden plot, in this case you can design it yourself with your own hands. In this case, we see a beautiful wrought iron gate with artistically decorated elements. The gate is completely metal, it looks very original.

Another option is high quality and tasteful wooden gates with wrought iron elements. Everything is done in the old medieval style. Looks very anthraxically and beautifully.

With proper skill and skills, you can quickly and efficiently construct a gate with your own hands. However, the process does not tolerate haste and carelessness. It is important to calculate each stage, consider the type of material, because the durability of the structure depends on it.
