There are several options for the execution of the gate, so the choice of this or that type depends on the preferences of the owner of the building. Traditional swings are considered to be used most often in the construction of various objects( described here).But, judging by the experts' estimates, it is the sliding structures that are now beginning to be used more and more in demand.

There are 2 types of such gates - rail and console. The first type is now practically not installed, since it involves some difficulties in installation, and there are enough drawbacks for such structures( from a practical point of view).For example, the need to constantly maintain( clean) the rail, the restrictions on the dimensions of vehicles entering and a number of others.

Therefore, we will stop on the sliding gates of the console type. They are much more convenient in terms of both installation and further operation.

Features

  • Ability to install anywhere, since there is no limit on the size of the free space in front of them.
  • Such a gate will be able to enter the car of any height, if the appropriate design features to think in advance.
  • Ease of use. For example, there is no difficulty in opening / closing with strong gusts of wind( unlike swings).
  • Versatility. Depending on the specific operation, you can choose any size of the fabric. The gate can be light, weighted - there are many options.
  • A variety of exterior finishes. For this, materials such as sandwich panels, corrugated board, wood, metal profiles are usually used.
  • Attractive appearance - an additional "plus" to such designs.
Technical solutions used in the arrangement of sliding gates may differ depending on the specific construction. Therefore, their performance may be different. This mainly depends on the location of the beam, which can be installed at the top, bottom or middle.

It is clear that the cost of this type of gate depends on many factors( sizes, materials, etc.), so we will only give an approximate price range - from 55 000 to 130 000 rubles. Given this, it makes sense to build such a structure yourself.

Technology

We will dwell only on some features, as the nuances of construction work do not make sense.

Scheme

Everyone develops a drawing based on local conditions. It should be noted that it is not worth making such gates too massive. This will affect the appreciation of construction, primarily due to the foundation.

It is recommended to calculate the length of the web, proceeding from the "formula" - the size of the opening x 1.5 + reserve( about 20 - 30 cm).

Depending on which side of the house the gate is located on, the direction of their rollback is selected. In this case, you need to take into account the availability of free space to move the fabric horizontally.

Counterweight - half the width of the opening.

The height of the advice is - just below the fence( about 10 cm).But the last pillars should rise above it a little.

Optimal clearance from the bottom - within 6 - 7 cm. And snow does not "pout" on the territory, and clean up the labor will not be.

Accessories( materials)

You can independently fabricate the canvas, select the channel under the base, electric motor for the drive. Where it is more difficult with rollers. It is better to buy them, and the kit. They are sold in 3 varieties. Recommendations for buying the following:

  • kit is large - if the weight of the canvas is more than 600 kg, or the length of the canvas is more than 6 m. But for a private house it is not necessary. The price is about 38 000 rubles.
  • average. With the parameters from 4 to 6 m or 400 to 600 kg. Approximately 23,000 rubles.
  • small - up to 400 kg or 4 m. About 10 - 12 thousand.
The armature( cross section of 12 mm) will have to be spent in the area of ​​1 000 - 1 200 rubles, if you take into account some stock. The channel can be purchased for 750 rubles / m. It is needed in half the doorway.

Profile pipe on frame for linen( 60 x 40 with wall thickness of 2 mm is sufficient) and other materials - depending on the scheme and choice.

Especially it is necessary to stop on the engine. Its power is calculated not only depending on the weight of the gate( assembly).We must also take into account the probability of some glaciation of the surface in winter. Consequently, the total mass of the moving part of the structure will be increased.

Construction of the foundation

There is nothing new here. In depth, it should exceed the level of freezing of soil in the region.

First the frame is made( from a channel and rod).The depth of installation of its "supports" - not less than 1.5 m( to ensure a reliable fixation of the entire structure).The trench of the foundation is being dug along the width of the channel. After installing the frame in the ground, its upper part will be the "bottom edge" of the entire structure( "zero").

When installing the frame, check the alignment of the longitudinal axis of the fence line. Laying of cables for power supply of the drive is made before pouring concrete solution.

Fabrication

It is necessary to make internal stiffeners. In fact, such a structure( frame) is not much different from the roofing, which is arranged when facing the walls. The difference is the two extreme( bearing) "legs".

Preparing for door assembly

It is necessary to fix the carrier "carts".The front is placed about 15 cm from the edge of the opening. In place they are fixed by welding.

All other arrangements for the placement of additional elements and the installation of the cloth depend on the design of the gate.
