Swing gates are the most popular model. It can rightly be considered the most ancient, since the principle of working the gate remains unchanged for many millennia. Changes touched only:

• manufacturing materials;
• constantly improving structural elements.

The main types and advantages of the design

Pretty popular products are metal swing gates. A few years ago, such a gate was a metal corner, which was trimmed with a sheet of metal. Now, various materials can be used as a trim for a frame design: a tree, forging, professional flooring or even polycarbonate.

Such structures have undoubted advantages:

• simplicity of installation;
• low cost;
• versatility;
• long operational period;
• attractive appearance.

Nowadays, some models of swollen gates are complemented by modern accessories as built-in photocells or remote control. Despite this, the installation of a metal gate is not an excessive task. It is enough to adhere to the basic requirements when performing work.

There are several embodiments in the reality of the drawings of the metal gate. The main ones are:

• gate to enter the territory of the site;
• garage Doors.

Poles - the main element when creating an entrance gate

Installation of metal gates, which are located at the entrance to the courtyard, occurs using pre-mounted carrier pillars. This work can be carried out in various ways.

The cheapest and simple is the installation of the gate with the scoring of the support pillars. To do this, first the bore is digging a hole to 1.5 m to which the poles are installed. Poles must be:

• complemented with metal pipes departing from them and fixing with the fence or other buildings;
• it is connected to a removable bar.

This option is acceptable when the gate is small.

If it is supposed to establish massive structures, then without concrete work it is not necessary. First, the columns are correctly mounted and level. There must be the same distance:

• between the lower and top of the columns,
• diagonally from one to another pillar.

Concreting the lower part of the columns is carried out at a depth of 1.8 m. It is precisely such a depth to ensure the structures of complete resistance to the soil and other mechanical exposure. To impart maximum strength, the base of the gate of the metal into the concrete solution is fitted fittings. The diameter of the pipes themselves must exceed 10 cm.

Installation of swing gates can be carried out on brick supports. In this case, you will need to perform several other actions. Under such a support necessarily poured the foundation to 1.5 m in the depth and more.

Next, such works are carried out:

• metal tube (or column of rods) is installed;
• it is welded to the mortgage elements;
• mortgages must be placed outside the perimeter of the brick pillar erected;
• there is a brick pillar;
• free space near the pillar concreted.

Special attention is paid to the correct choice of the loops of the future design. It is based on the masses of the sash. If they are light, then you can buy a loop, the diameter of which is 2.5 cm. In the presence of sfists weighing 0.5 tons, their installation is carried out on 4-centimeter loops. In this case, the device should be provided at least 3 loops.

The complete setting of the concrete solution occurs for a month. Despite this, the flaps can be attached already a week later.

Creating and hanging sash

For this process, the framework from the profile materials should be made first. You can use both pipes and metal profiles. Moreover, the frame under the flaps will keep the form when the pipes having a smaller size are welding inside it. For example, when creating a frame of pipes size:

• 4 * 4 cm The inner division and frame should be made of pipe 2 * 2 cm;
• 6 * 3 cm - frame and dive 4 * 2 cm.

If it is assumed to be sewn from two sides, the inner tube is placed in the middle part of the external pipe. When lining the sash on one side, the inner tube is flush with an outer pipe. The welding process is carried out by 2-centimeter patches every 0.25 m.

The implementation of welding works is accompanied by the preparation of the metallic basis. She:

• purified from corrosion laid;
• degreases gasoline;
• processed by primer intended for enamel paints;
• grinding after welding.

Facing material for sash can completely different, ranging from the chain grid and ending with original wrought-iron designs. Its fastening is carried out with rivets or screws.

The final installation of the swollen gate is to welcome the loops to the sash and carrier pillars. It should be provided for the presence of gaps between the sash. Due to the soil moving, which are fraught with a minor shift of pillars, it is also necessary to leave the gap between the ground and the extreme part of the door of the gate. From the inside of the gate is shutdown, intended for fixing sash.

Swing gates in the garage

There are several options for creating a metal swing gate for a garage. The greatest interest is the designs with a gate. This is due to the fact that the metal garage doors with the gate allow you to enter the garage without opening completely sash. And this in turn:

• saves time;
• keeps warm.

Metal swollen garage doors are an entrance door embedded in one of two sash. The standard dimensions of the garage embedded doors are 1.8 m (height) and 0.8 m (width).

In most cases, finished products are 35-40% more than those made with their own hands. This also applies to a metal swollen gate with a gate. If there is a solid design, the entrance door will not make much difficulty and himself.

The workflow is as follows:

• one sash is removed;
• it cuts out a hole;
• the extreme part of the door is strengthened by platbands;
• loops are welded to the canvas using metal plates;
• the door is trimmed with a rubber seal;
• installed lock and handle.
