Any home owner wants his own house to look individual and beautiful. I think I will not be mistaken if I say that the gate of any house is a gate, that's why the owners usually pay attention to them, trying to put in them the maximum of their aesthetic and financial opportunities.
One way to give the gate a genuine identity is forging, but homeowners rarely think about it, believing that the blacksmith's art is beyond them, and the order of entire forged gates can not afford. Undoubtedly, the order of such gates is not a cheap thing. If you take the forging yourself, you need not only to have blacksmith skills, but also the necessary equipment: a horn, a hammer, an anvil, machines for bending and twisting metal, and much more. You know, I myself dream of mastering the blacksmith's skill, but so far there is neither the time nor the opportunity.
Nevertheless, it is quite possible to make the forged gates yourself - often people forget that there is a wide range of ready-made forged parts on sale, over which the real professionals have worked and which can become a worthy decoration of the gates.
Forged gates from finished parts
If you decide to decorate your gate with ready forged parts, then you need to have welding skills or simply invite to work as a welder.
So, picking up all the necessary parts in the market or in the building store, you will have to remove the metal gates you already have from the hinges, carefully clean them of paint and rust and place the acquired elements on them in accordance with the pattern that you must chartpreliminary.
Make sure that the resulting composition fully corresponds to your idea, all the elements must be securely fixed on the metal door leaf by spot welding, trying to cook so that it is almost invisible. Then the welding places are cleaned, the updated gates are painted and suspended on the already existing loops.
Finished parts can be used in a slightly different way, which will give the gates even more expressiveness. True, this method is somewhat more complicated than the first, but the effect achieved fully compensates for the forces expended on the work.
In this embodiment, the forged prefabricated elements are interconnected to produce a single lining that is fastened to a pre-prepared door leaf with a small clearance. As a result, the gate acquires more accented ease and delicacy, and their painting becomes more simple.
