How to make a gate in the fence

Any gate is a single door located in a fence or large gate. As a rule, it is manufactured from the same material as the fence itself. In most cases, the gate is not only a place of passage to the site, but also his decoration. It is for this reason that the question is increasingly about how to make not only high-quality, but also a very beautiful wicket?

To carry out these works, you will need:

  • shovel;
  • screws or nails;
  • screwdriver;
  • hammer.

Before proceeding with the construction process, it is necessary to determine the type, material manufacturing material and the size of your future wicket. Most often, the width of this product ranges from 80 to 100 centimeters. If you want to hide from your neighbors and passersby gaze, the fence around your site is high enough, remember - you should not make a wicket above 2 meters. If you neglect by this rule, the door may turn out very hard - it will be difficult to open it, and the loops will constantly lie under great weight.

3
Construction should be started with a frame. Depending on the material used for the manufacture of wicket, it can be wooden slats or metal corners. Fold the rectangle from them, the sides of which should be 15-20 centimeters less than the finished product. In the corners, connect them with nails or screws, if you used a tree, if you used metal - use screws or welding machine. To enhance the design, connect its opposite sides using an additional rail or set the diagonal amplifier. In order for the wicket viewing harmoniously and complemented the appearance of your fence - as the face of the front side, use the same material as for the construction of the fence.

4
The next step is the installation of supports. The distance between them should be 5-7 centimeters more wicket width. To install the columns, dig holes whose depth should be at least 80 centimeters. Using the level, align the supports and fill them with a solution of concrete. To prevent sections, the bottom of the holes are recommended to float with stones or broken bricks.

5
After the solution finally freezes, you can move to the mounting of the loops. Depending on the material of the poles, they should be fixed with self-draws, screws or with welding. Position them so that after the canopy of the wicket between it and the earth, there was a distance of about 5-7 centimeters. This will allow the door to open freely, and even small animals will not be able to get into a small gap.

6
If the wicket is made of wood, apply lacquer or paint on it, perfectly suitable Alpina, Tikkurila, Teknos or Ceresit. This will not only increase the service life, but also give the product a beautiful appearance. For the uniform application of the protective coating, the roller or sprayer is best suited.

Making the wicket does not take much time and forces, but a qualitatively made design will serve the decoration of all the fence and can become a real highlight of your country ownership.
