Let's start the production - the steps of the

The first thing to take care of is bearing pillars .They need to be made and then installed. For swing gates, poles from a shaped metal pipe with a diameter of at least 100 mm, made of hardwood made of hardwood, of concrete can be used. When installing such poles, they must be concreted to a depth of 1 m or more.

If the pillars are built of bricks, then their foundation must be concreted to the same depth. The pillars themselves and their base must be reinforced. From the pillars, inside the opening, an armature or corner bracket must be released, which will be necessary to secure the gate racks.

Concrete for concreting the pillars is made on the basis of a mixture of cement, crushed stone and river sand in a 1: 4 ratio. To make it easier to work, the rubble is best used for the fine fraction.

Gulf carrying pillar, allow it to survive 7 or more days in order for concrete to grasp well.

In anticipation of hardening of concrete, it is possible to do by manufacturing the door leaf .First of all, it is necessary to prepare the pipes for manufacturing the frame. They must be cleaned of corrosion and dirt, degrease with a solvent or gasoline and apply a layer of anti-corrosion primer. When the pipes are ready, the frame must be welded in the form of a rectangle or square. To ensure two-sided sewing in the middle part of the frame an additional pipe is flush with the main one. Grinding the welding seams, the frame of the gate must be primed and painted.

After drying the paint, start sewing the door leaf. The choice of the material of the sewing and the order of sewing is very individual and depends mainly on the taste of the owner.

The next step is the suspension gate. If the supporting pillars are metal, then the gate loops are welded to the pole itself. If the posts are stone or brick, then they need to be fastened with a dowel to the metal stand. And already to this rack with the help of welding fasten the hinges.

If you make a swing gate with your own hands, then they will cost you much cheaper. If you are able to do basic locksmithing operations and if all the necessary materials are at hand, the manufacture of the swing gates will take two or three days.
