Gate to the dacha from metal
A common choice of avid gardeners is a metal gate. They are the result of welding different designs of iron:
- Armatures
- Iron rods
- Metal sheets
The main feature of this option is its quality and durability.
Having purchased the necessary components, you need to weld them. Then coat the surface with a protective layer of paint. The coloring agent will protect against corrosion and premature damage to the structure.
Weight of metal gates and the complexity of their installation is determined by the thickness of the material, its complexity of welding. The metal profile is lightweight and easy to install. The thinner the structure of the sheets - the more likely it is to repair the structure at the dacha.
A gate with a metal fittings and a profiled sheet has recently become a popular sight.
Considering metal raw materials for country gates, it is possible to single out their advantages:
- Strength:
- Massiveness of construction;
- Reliable protection;
- Attractive appearance( in particular, forged gates).
Disadvantages:
- Corrosion susceptibility;
- The complexity of welding and installation;
- The requirement of constant care.
Wooden gates made of wood with their own hands
Ten years ago, wooden doors for dachas were considered an advantageous option. Now they are inferior to the modernized proposals of the construction industry.
Two types of wooden gates can be installed in the dacha:
- Inexpensive primitive structures, which are a continuation of the fence. For them boards are used that line up
- Expensive gates made of an "elite" solid structure wood. Rare breeds of bars
are used. The first point is often used when building an entrance to the dacha with their own hands. A special frame is constructed and nails are joined by nails. The second - requires the involvement of specialists and the use of some kind of auxiliary parts and fasteners.
Despite the environmental friendliness and naturalness of the material, wooden gates should often be tinted, preventing the destruction of the structure of the trunk of the board. Humidity, dryness, gusts affect the appearance of the gate made of wood.
Mixed gates: rules for combining materials
The list of mixed designs includes constructions with combined building sources:
- Forged metal gates with polycarbonate sheets. Carbonate is the basis, forged elements - the frame. This is an attractive option for the massive structures of villas, two-storey country houses
- PVC gate. Are installed from plastic
- Latticed gates. They are rarely used for dacha massifs. Mounted from rebar, mesh and mesh
Not knowing where to choose, you can resort to a combined version of the design of the gate.
Principles of installing the gates to give their own hands
A popular option for cottages are buildings made of polycarbonate. Their installation takes place in a combination with other materials. On their installation can be spent only a few days with the assistance of an assistant.
It is worth following a certain set of actions:
- Partitioning. It is necessary to learn the parameters of the gate - their height, width, determine which way they will open.
- Mounting of pillars. On their construction the gate is hung. Often poles are used from steel. They are durable and able to withstand the weight of polycarbonate
- Assembly. Dacha gates are two doors. The optimal form is rectangular. Polycarbonate sheets are attached to the metal ribs
- Fastening of polycarbonate sheets for the door is done using screws and screws
- Elimination of rough sections of sheets. On the edges of the polycarbonate are fixed special strips that can hide the shortcomings of inaccurate cutting of plates and add attraction to the appearance of the country gates
- Suspension of the gate wings. They are attached to the hinges. Adjust manually
Note: When selecting material, you need to carefully measure the parameters of the hole for the gate. It is important to pay attention to the tight closure of the parts of the structure. There should be no excesses or inconsistencies in the sashes.
