Types of gates for private houses: swinging, sliding and rail

If you are soon going to buy a dacha, a house or a garage, then you will inevitably face the issue of the preservation of real estate and property. The main way to solve this issue is the gate, because they separate the entrance or entrance to the territory of the garage or plot and close the review from passers-by. Before adding a gate to an object, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic varieties of the first - this will allow you to make the right choice.

Types of gates

Considering the types of gates, you can find the best option for yourself. Depending on the design, they can be:

• Sweeping;
• Rolled back;
• Sectional.

The most common type is the swing gates, which can be inscribed in any garage or fence. However, they require a large space. This point should be taken into account in advance. The supporting structures and the frame are made of metal, while the flaps can be sewn with colored profiled sheets, wooden crate, forged elements or sandwich panels.

Considering the types of gates, you can choose a rollback version of them, which is the most convenient, so it is popular. Such designs have two minuses. The first of these is expressed in high cost, while the second is in the need for additional space. Sectional doors are used for garages. Most often they can be found in underground parking lots, in storage rooms and parking lots.

Varieties of swing gates

Swing gates are popular in that they almost do not require the need for additional maintenance during operation. If we are talking about the classical design, then it has two flaps fixed to the pillars. Considering the types of swing gates, it is necessary to distinguish two-sexed and combined.

The second type of swing gates has a built-in wicket, so it is often used for garages, warehouses and small suburban areas. Classify this design can also be on the material of manufacture. Swing door types can be:

• Wooden;
• Metal;
• Made of polycarbonate;
• Forged.

Recommendations for the manufacture of swing gates

Swing gates usually require the installation of load-bearing poles. They are buried in a meter or more, and after concreting. In the role of poles, you can use a metal profile pipe with a square section of 100 mm. As one of the most popular options it is necessary to allocate also a wooden bar, and also concrete support.

Types of sectional doors

Such gates are sections connected by loops. They move along the tires attached to the opening. Subdivide similar structures can be in the form of the canvas, it can be assembled from sandwich panels or can be represented by a panoramic canvas. In the first variant it is a question of steel sheets, which are joined together and filled with heat-insulating material.

Panoramic canvas is made of aluminum extruded profiles, into which inserts are inserted from the translucent material.

If you are interested in the types of sectional doors, you should consider another classification of them, which provides for the division of structures in terms of use. Thus, sectional doors can be:

• Garage;
• Industrial;
• Panoramic.

The latter variety is one of the types of industrial gates. In this case, the web is assembled from separate panels. As a special feature is the possibility of a survey inside the premises and providing natural light. This solution is relevant for service stations, car dealers and industrial facilities by fire brigade type.

Rail gate

In private houses today you can see different types of gates. Among them, especially should be allocated rail. This construction has the form of recoiling panels. If you decide to replace the old gate with the new ones described in this section, then an offset of 0.5 m will be required. Among other things, there must be a free even space along it, which is equal to the length of the rolling panel.

Rail gates can also be console. By the type of fastening panels such structures can be rail and mounted, as well as on rollers. The canvas in all three varieties has one principle of displacement, the difference will be only in the technical device. Rail types of garage doors are popular for some reasons, among them it should be noted:

• Ability to undergo weight of any skin;
• An impressive length of the panel covering the passage;
• High level of resistance and resistance to wind loads.

However, before installing such a design, it is necessary to take into account the shortcomings. They consist in the fact that the opening must be well reinforced. In the process of operation, the chute in which the rail is installed must be periodically cleaned. The profile that is in the ground, under the influence of atmospheric precipitation and the external environment will eventually deform and change its original linear dimensions.

Recommendations for the installation of rail gates

If you have considered all types of garage doors and have chosen a rail suspension version of them, then the installation work should begin with the installation of a canopy, which will act as the support of the structure. Metalloprofil will go for the manufacture of beams. Inside the profile, small balls are installed, with the help of which a smooth movement along the rail will be ensured.

Roll-up panels can be suspended from above. In this case, the device with wheels and rollers in the first stage is installed on the panel. After that, the panel can be fixed to the suspension. For this it is necessary to use a transverse beam, the shape of the section of which must have a concavity inward. Select the suspension beam in accordance with the weight of the panel. When purchasing a profile, you should pay attention to the weight for which the product is designed. Exceed the load is not recommended, it will lead to the deflection of the device and its failure.

Varieties of wickets

In modern construction, a variety of types of gates and wickets are used. Classify them at the location. In this way, the wickets can be independent, part of a gate or fitted with a gate that is next to each other. The latter variety is represented by three variants.

The first: in the fence there are two apertures, in one there is a gate, in the other - a gate. Second: there is a common opening in the fence, two objects are installed in it, but they are separated by a pillar or pillar. This element stands out against the backdrop of the gate and the gate and divides the lanes of the passage and passage. It is made of the following materials:

• Concrete;
• Stone;
• Bricks;
• Buta;
• Metal pipe.

The third option is similar to the previous one, but the column is not allocated in this case, as a result, it is possible to form one space.

Classification of gates and gates by material

The most common types of garage gates are those made of metal. The second place can be given to the wood. However, if you decide to add a garage to the gates, then you should choose the corrugated board. Among its advantages, it is necessary to allocate high strength, low cost and lack of a pattern on the material, which should have been selected during the installation. Profiled sheeting has excellent protection against corrosion, it is durable, and you can choose the shade that you will like. However, metal gates for a private house can be corroded due to accidental damage to the protective layer, which sometimes occurs during the installation or operation phase.

Wood also has a low cost, and for the manufacture of the gate from it will require a minimum set of tools. In addition, the design will have a nice appearance. But it should be borne in mind that it will prove to be rather short-lived, fire-hazardous and will have low mechanical strength.

Conclusion

Whatever types of gates are considered by modern owners of real estate, the most frequently chosen is the open type. It is cheaper than the others, and also provides for the possibility of adding the structure to the automation. However, the latter does not always work properly in the harsh climate of Russia. If you want to save money, then this design can be done on your own, choosing budget materials for the type of profiled work.
