How to make a rollback gate with your own hands

Retractable gates - an integral accessory of modern country life. This type of gate is becoming popular from year to year and is becoming increasingly distributed. This is connected with a number of undoubted advantages that are inherent only in the gate: the ability to automate, save space and the absence of the upper or lower support beam, which allows you to travel to any dimensions to such a gate. As it is possible to safely install the sliding gate independently - is described below.

1
To carry out a complex of work on independent installation of the retractable gate, you will need the following tool:

  • shovel;
  • perforator;
  • a set of keys;
  • screwdriver;
  • welding machine;
  • level and roulette.

2
The first stage in the construction of a rollback gate is the installation of support pillars. As a material for the manufacture of columns, use a chamberler or iron pipe, solid wood or a concrete pole. The reference pole is recommended to bury into the ground for one meter. This is the depth of the landscape of land in the winter, which will be enough to reliably fix the support. Drop the pit of the appropriate depth, install the pillar using a level and fill it with a concrete solution. For the manufacture of the solution, use a quickly frozen cement, resistant to moisture.

3
After mounting the support pillars, proceed to the fill of the foundation. For the foundation base, use a metal channel in combination with reinforcement. The reinforcement cut into pieces of 1-1.3 meters long. These pieces are welded between chapels along the upper and lower border. The resulting box is dug between the support pillars so that its upper edge is located on the same level from the ground surface, and fill with concrete. The result of your work should be an ideally smooth slaining platform.

For the manufacture of gate flaps, use metal sheets and metal pipes or corners. From the pipes, weld the frame of the sizes you need, after which the metal sheets are welded to it. Sheet metal can be welded with one or both sides of the frame. In the absence of a welding machine - use rivets or special screws.

5
After completing the manufacture of the web, proceed to the installation of the gate. On the frozen foundation, set the carriages and unlock them for the maximum possible distance. On the carriages exhibited, the ramp of the gate. Place the gate with a level. If after aligning the carriage remained in their places - it means everything went well. Welcome carriage to the chapeller. Using the rollers, lock the top of the door of the gate. Installation completed.

6
You can use both manual power and electrical drive to open / closing the retractable work. To do this, install the motor and connect it from the gateway through the gear ratio. Connect the electric motor to the network and fully insulate it from possible moisture.

An independent installation of a retractable gate will require not a lot of your time, while saving the decent amount of money. And the independent manufacture of the canvas will give the opportunity to realize your entire artistic potential and arrange the gate in the style you need.
