How to make a gate from the professional flooring

Mandatory structures designed to protect the house from various hazards are fences, gates and wickets. The latter not only performs the door, which leads from the street to home ownership, but also is considered a special artistic element of fence, the "face" of the entire site. Therefore, it is very important to correctly choose the material for its manufacture, given its functional characteristics and a constructive manifold. Today we will talk about how to make a gate from the professional flooring.

Before proceeding directly to the manufacture of the wicket, it is recommended to find out what is the professional flooring. A different professionalist is available on sale, differs in properties, although in principle the service life of everyone is more than 50 years. Take into account that is optimal when the mass of the sheet reaches 5 kg per 1 square meter. Choosing between galvanized or covered with paint professional flooring, it is more profitable to buy the one that has previously processed by the anti-corrosion composition, this will help prevent the risk of corrosion.

Let's find out why it is advisable to use a professional wicket professional:

Easy and installation speed - the design of durable metal plates is built very quickly, in a few days.
Aesthetics - wave-like material is painted in various shades, you can pick up any color for the wicket and supplement the common area ensemble.
Resistance to the exposure to the external environment (corrosion, UV radiation), due to the processing of protective paint.

To begin with, it is necessary to determine the size of the future wicket to convenience and the duration of its use, given the following rules:

The optimal width of the wicket is one meter. If you make it less, then some things, for example, overall furniture will be problematic.
The maximum design height is limited to the size of the fence itself. Considering the SNiP, the height of the fence from the street should be not more than 220 centimeters.
Poles must be plugged into the ground approximately 1 m, below its freezing. However, these sizes are determined by the type of soil on the site, if it, for example, is severe, it is enough and 0.7 m.
For convenience, the handle and lock on the gate is usually installed at an altitude of 90 cm, plus-minus a small shift up-down.
Sheds weld on top and bottom at a height of 25 centimeters from the corresponding edge of the canvas.
For the manufacture of pillars for the wicket from the professional flooring take pipes, which have a cross section of 60x60 - 80x80.
When installing the frame, take into account that the distance formed by the wicket and sidewalk must reach up to 10 centimeters so that the design function normally in winter when ice accumulates on the track.

At this stage, we will engage in the construction of support racks:

For the manufacture of durable wickets, we use metal pipes as supports. In addition, you can install pillars using a stone or brick.
Along the line of the fence, it is necessary to pull the cord and place how the pits are located under the poles.
To prevent sending a rack, it is important to equip a reliable foundation, the depth of the bookmarks of which is 1-1.5 m.
Drop the pit under the foundation using a garden boraxy, install vertically racks that should be pouring with a solution consisting of rubble, sand and cement.
When working, control the vertical position of the columns using a plumb to prevent the risk of skewing the design and disruption of its performance.
Wait until the concrete freezes - it will take about a week, or even all 10 days.

For the manufacture of a frame, proceed in accordance with such recommendations:

Use profiled metal pipes that have a cross section of 60x30.
To cut blanks and welding, the wicket prepare the welding machine and the grinder.
Before chopping the pipe to pieces, clean its surface from rust and scale, using a grinder and a metal brush based on it, and degreased by a solvent and led by an anti-corrosion agent.
Next should be denoted on the profile pipe mark of future blanks, after which you can cut the grinder. The optimal angle during operation is 45 degrees, to improve the quality of the future weld.
Also prepare 2 longitudinal parts and 2-3 transverse, which need to be welded with pupils perpendicular to each other. Place them around the perimeter, the step is 20-30 centimeters.
To improve the quality and rigidity of the frame, you can make diagonal crossbars or set a smaller frame frame inside the frame, which have dimensions of 20x40 mm.
Pharmacies are recommended to do in a checker order, otherwise the framework may lose the form as a result of overhang.
After welding a frame, you need to install some more items. These are canopies, plates that are needed for fastening the castle.
To increase the strength of the design, we use metal corners - triangular "brazers" that weld to the connected items.

And now we can only install the gate, follow our installation instructions:

Clean the welding seams if some places were damaged - to drive them and paint the frame.
For fastening professional flooring to the frame, it is customary to use selflessness or rivets.
The mounting step can be done if desired - you can fix each wave. Or possible option with mounting through one. But necessarily strengthen the material to the middle jumper, which is an element of the frame.
The gate is installed on traditional loops made of metal. In addition, you can accommodate polymer curtains. When using pillars made of metal, breed the curtains to them. If the supports are made of brick - weld the loop to the pipe, pre-fixed on the column using anchors.
The finished product is hung on the support, then the opening limiter is welded, made from the corner, since otherwise it can open in both directions.

To install the lock on the gate from the professional floor, use such recommendations:

You can choose for installation in principle any castle, but pay attention - it must necessarily be resistant to corrosion. However, the optimal option will be the castle intended for profile pipes.
Castle is made at an altitude of about 90 cm.
When choosing a mortise lock, take 2 duties in the pipe through and one, which should be placed on the direction from the first to the second.
Metal strips that you have turned out, remove and cut up using a grinder.
Pick the lock in size, it should freely enter the hole. This should not arise backlash.
Screw the lock using metal screws.

And finally, I would like to note that the wicket from the corrugated floor does not require much care, as, for example, a wooden one, which from time to time should be treated with protective compositions from insects, mold, fungus, atmospheric influence. If the material is damaged, it can always be removed from the frame to replace a new one, for this you do not need to spend great efforts. The only thing - if you wish, you can paint a special corrosion-resistant paint.
