Gates from the proflist by own hands: drawings, calculation, project

Enclosures on the countryside perform certain functions. They are made of various durable and reliable materials. Despite the fact that today there are a lot of them on the market, the gates from the profiled sheet are very popular. With their own hands (photo designs can be seen in the article), they are quite possible to make them.

Types of gates from profile sheet

At the moment, you can easily make the gate from the profilist with your own hands. Initially, you need to select their appearance. So, fencing of this type can be:

• Closed;
• Half-closed.

Many people have a question about how to build a gate from the profilist with their own hands of a semi-closed type. It's pretty simple. Profile sheet is partially used in fencing sections. It can be located:

• in the center;
• up;
• Under each collar.

It is also possible to make gates from the profiled sheet by hand without welding or with its application. In the first variant, the material is assembled using special rivets.

Types of gates from profile sheet by type of construction

To make a gate from the profilist with your own hands, you must first determine the type of their design. She may be:

• On the basis of the frame;
• without him.

Note. The second type of gate is suitable in the event that one of the halves is deaf and will not function.

The frame is usually made of metal. Use for this purpose pipes of different size and diameter. The parameters of such a frame depend on the size of the collar. It is often possible to find a wooden frame.

Council. More practical is the metal frame for the gates from the profile sheet.

Than it is caused? First, the materials are endowed with similar characteristics. Secondly, mounting profile sheets will be much easier on a metal frame.

The tree in the process of exposure to climatic and weather conditions can give deformations of its structure. Because of this profile sheets, fixed on such a basis, may eventually become loose. So, it will be necessary to repair such gates.

Advantages of the profile sheet in the construction of the gate

The popularity of the gate from such material is due to the excellent technical properties of the material itself. He has:

• Strength;
• Reliability;
• Moisture resistance;
• Fire resistance;
• Durability;
• Practicality.

The first property depends on the thickness of the profile sheet. Basically, in the manufacture of doors use the following material thickness:

• 2 mm;
• 3 mm.

In some cases, it can be more.

Reliability is provided by resistance to various mechanical and physical influences. Metal is not able to absorb moisture due to the dense structure. It does not burn and does not melt (due to temperature conditions).

The service life of the material reaches 20-30 years. With proper care, it can significantly increase. Its surface is reliably protected by special means:

• A primer;
• Paint.

The first means is applied to the material during its production. It allows further avoiding the appearance of corrosion and rotting of the structure from the effects of moisture. The paint can be:

• Polymer;
• Powder.

The second option is more practical, since it rarely produces chips and scratches. The surface of the material in this case is rough.

Moreover, the profile sheet can have a wide variety of shades. The surface is matte and glossy. And this affects the appearance of the gate.

Gate structure from profile sheet

Before you make a gate from the profilist with your own hands, you need to clearly know what they are made of. So, the main components of this design are:

• Carrying pillars;
• Supporting poles;
• Collars;
• gate;
• Accessories.

Each of these components has its own specific functional characteristics.

Functions of bearing poles in the gate

These structures are pre-installed. They serve as a support for retention in one plane of the Vorotin, which possess a certain mass. Their dimensions depend on the material from which the frame of the gate is made.

Note. For such an element, round or square pipes with a thick wall of large diameter are chosen.

Supporting poles

Such kinds of pillars are a constituent part of the Vorotin itself. Especially if the latter are large. They are installed in the center of the structure and fixed using welding equipment. In their essence they are an element of the framework of the collar.

Note. Posts can be in the form of profile pipes or simple metal rods of different sizes and diameters.

Vorotiny

This is the most important element of the whole design. Their number can be different. As a rule, two collars are enough for the gates to be endowed with functionality.

Note. The gates can be solid or with elements of forging and metal pattern.

Gate

Such an element can be separately standing or mounted inside. If the first option is used in the design, additional support poles are pre-installed for the wicket. If the second option is used, the wicket is mounted inside one of the shutters and opens separately from the main structure.

Fittings

These include:

• Loops;
• Rivets;
• locks;
• pens;
• Heck and so on.

Important. They should be of excellent quality, because the functionality of the gate depends on them.

Hinges are mounted on poles and a gate, collars. Rivets fix profile sheets if necessary. Locks, pens and other are installed both on the gate separately, and on the gate.

Functionality of the gate from profile sheet

There is nothing difficult in constructing a gate from the profilist with your own hands. The designs of such structures are quite diverse. They depend on what functional they are endowed with. So, the gate can be:

• Sweeping;
• Sliding.

The first option is characterized by the fact that the gate opens to the outside of the courtyard or into the interior. You can do it yourself or automatically. For this, there are special devices that are connected to the power shield.

The second is a modern type of gate from a profile sheet. They function only with the help of an automatic system. They can be of any type and size. They are installed not only on poles, but also on special racks using special rollers. As the rails, a channel of the required size is used.

Important. To qualitatively make the gates from the profilist with your own hands, the design drawings for this are pre-compiled. This will enable you to correctly calculate the required amount of materials and determine the appearance of the future fence.

Optimal gate parameters

The gates in the fence construction allow not only to protect the countryside from the intrusion of "uninvited guests", but also to allow free entry and exit from the yard.

Optimal sizes of their width are:

• 2.5 m;
• 3m;
• 4 m.

In the first and second versions it is more rational to place the gate next to the structure.

Note. To properly make the gate from the profilist with your own hands, the dimensions must be set in advance. The basis for their definition will serve as a ready-made span between the sections of the fence, and you can choose a place for the design yourself.

Stages of construction of gates from profile sheet

There is a certain order of work that needs to be done before making a gate from the profilist with your own hands. Photo report is made in the works in order to see what efforts and how much time was spent. It will also be nice to see how the appearance of the site was ennobled.

So, it is necessary:

• Draw up a project;
• Calculate the number of materials;
• To make halves of gate and gate;
• To establish supporting poles;
• Mount the gate.

All this must be done correctly, so that you do not have to deal with the installation problems later.

Drafting and miscalculation of materials

The first thing you need to start with is to make a gate from the profilist yourself - drawings and calculation of the necessary amount of materials and means. In calculation are taken:

• Dimensions of the ratotin;
• Distance between support poles;
• The presence of a wicket gate;
• Height of construction.

Note. If the width of the gate is set independently, then to determine the height, there are some recommendations.

Optimum height of the gate is considered to be 1.5-1.7 m. Although quite often choose 2 m. It should be taken into account that the load on the supporting poles is significantly increased. Hence, we need to carry out their qualitative installation and fixing. In some cases, bandages are made at the top of the structure.

Manufacturing of gates and wickets

For such works you will need:

• Profile pipes;
• Metal rods;
• Angles and channel bars;
• Profile sheets.

Then select the picture. For example, you can mount profile sheets on a rectilinear metal frame that has square and rectangular shapes, or you can attach it to sections made of metal rods. And this is not fully implemented on the whole gate. Quite often, various forged or cast elements are fastened at the top and bottom of the structure.

The structures are immediately primed and painted.

Installation of pillars and mounting

Previously, at the site of the future construction, pits with a depth of 1 m are excavated. With sandy ground, this parameter can be larger. Piles are installed on the sides of the gate. They need to be concreted. For this purpose, a concrete solution is prepared from:

• Sand;
• Cement;
• water;
• Special hardeners.

The pits are made of sand and gravel of a small fraction. The thickness of the layers should not exceed 20 cm. Posts are set according to the level. They must be in a flat plane. Then they are poured with concrete solution.

Note. It should be noted that you can not mount the gate directly to them. They must be settled. It will take a few days.

Then they mount a gate on them, which are also leveled and welded into loops. Open the first day of construction can not. Welding seams should become stronger. Then they perform additional painting on the damaged canvas, and the gates can be used.
