Beautiful gates and gates for private houses

If the theater begins with a hanger, then a country house - from the gate and from the gate. Therefore, it is very important to establish not only functional and practical products, but also beautiful ones. But before you go to the store, you need to study this issue thoroughly.

After a piece of land is purchased, the first thing is to fence it. Fencing off not only future country estates, but also country land. For this purpose, use either brick or lattice, or fences of corrugated. This is done in order to prevent the fact of theft of building materials and to separate from the neighbors. Depending on the type of fence, choose a gate and entrance gate.

The main difficulties occur when choosing the gate, because they are selected, starting from the type of terrain, the dimensions of the house and the area of ​​the site.Important is the main purpose of the gate, and the location of the street, and the width of the roadway.

The entrance gates in most cases consist of a frame sash, a filler for the sashes, moving accessories and load-bearing posts.

For private homes and for giving the gate with a gate have a universal purpose. With their help, you can not only to organize the entry-exit and entry-exit from the territory, but also to “warm” the site together with deaf fences. This is especially important to take into account in the winter season, when cold northerly winds can negatively affect planted trees and shrubs.

If in panel houses doors are the entrance to the house, they protect against unauthorized entry and indicate the owner’s material wealth, in the private sector this role is assigned directly to the gate.

Some wooden structures erected 50 and 100 years ago are still preserved, but they need good care, otherwise the support or swing system will become unusable.From the point of view of modern fashion, these buildings are outdated, they have been replaced by advanced technological products, but it is important that they also serve faithfully for several decades.

The design consists of a thoroughly welded frame, which is made of a shaped or steel pipe. Only stainless material is suitable for the profile, otherwise the product must be painted periodically. Used proftruby and for the construction of wickets.

In former times, welded sheets were ordered at Soviet factories; they were not works of art and were used only to block the land plot from the roadway. This was especially true in the 90s of the last century.

But the years went by, the times changed, the fashion and material well-being of people changed, the rectangular inexpressive welded gate was replaced by cast-iron - this is a whole work of art. They were cast by masters of their craft, patterns and ornaments of such gates and gates could take any form. This technology is still in demand, but it is offered for a lot of money.

As an alternative, many owners of country houses order the design of corrugated flooring. These gates are perfectly combined with the main fence, if desired, you can install in such a way that the entrance and the entry will not be visible from a distance.

But if the perimeter of the house is surrounded by stone structures, then for beauty they install forged or lattice gates. To create a thermal effect, they are sheathed with polycarbonate sheets, and a seal is also mounted. At the same time, polycarbonate can be not only transparent, but also matte. In the building stores you can choose the material of any color - from common shades to exotic flowers.

Beautiful metal structures are obtained when using evroshtaketnika. A special technology is used for its production - at first metal sheets are cut in a special way, and then the resulting trimming is fixed symmetrically on the guides.

Professionals and ordinary people strongly recommend not to give up the gate. By saving a little money on its installation, you can create some inconvenience for yourself, the main one being the constant opening and closing of the gate.After all, in order to admit or release someone from the territory, you will need to open the gate. If the fence is equipped with a separate entrance, then such difficulties will not arise.

As a rule, a separate entrance for people is a single-door door of a small size that opens onto a carriageway. Depending on the preferences of the hosts, it can be deaf or lattice. For aesthetics, it should be combined with a central entrance for cars. They equip it with either a bell or a video intercom, for small plots of a fairly hung beater - a door knocker.

Directly gates are swinging, sliding, folding and lifting and turning. Retractable, in turn, are divided into suspended and cantilever. Most often installed swing gates.

In terms of savings, this is the cheapest option. Moreover, the gate can be mounted directly into the structure. This is done in order not to complicate the installation process. For this design, two supports are enough. In the classic version, in which the gate is mounted separately, additional support is required.

Loops are welded to vertical supports; they can be metal or made of polymer. The doors are hung directly on the hinges. In which direction will the gate open and close - only the landlord chooses.

Keep in mind that the flaps do not negatively affect the hinges and frames; it is recommended to use lightweight material when sheeting them. Heavy under its own weight can sag, pull out supports, and in some cases even deform the fence.

To lock the swinging structures mounted a powerful bolt, it is he who contributes to the fact that the sash for the period of operation does not sag. The spring lock ensures the correct position of the webs in the open state, and in the closed position, this role is assigned to the stopper.

Mounted swing structures simply and easily. There are several options, each of which is suitable not only for wealthy people, but also for less affluent citizens - from forged metal to the gate and wicket doors made of corrugated board.

As noted earlier, the main disadvantage of this variety is considered to be slack flaps, which ultimately leads to the loosening of the pillars. Increase the life will allow a quality foundation. If you save on this, the repair will cost a pretty penny. Another minus is the periodic cleansing of space - from snow, foliage in order to open or close the entrance.

Electric swing-open gates provide opening-closing thanks to two drives. In most cases, the opening is adjusted inside the plot, so it is very important that the space is free all the time, otherwise the damage will be caused not only to the metal structures, but also to movable property.

Roadbed should not have drops and rises. Because of them, the lower edge of the valves can hurt the road. When using automation, this will lead to damage to the product.

Even more requirements for evenness of the surface have a sliding gate, which is popularly referred to as sliding or sliding.They consist of a canvas, parallel guides mounted on the bottom and top, as well as a roller base. The roller base is made of metal or of caprolon.

The movement of the canvas is carried out on a horizontal line, so the drops are unacceptable. To accommodate the roller base, a foundation is constructed where the entire filling “hides”. For automated work, a block is installed.

For the lining of metal structures, corrugated board or sheet metal is purchased, if desired, it is not forbidden to use wood or a working net. By the way, the netting net is additionally covered with polymer, which provides protection against precipitation, therefore periodic staining is not required.

The main advantages are considered compactness. For such structures, the free space is not important, the wind does not exert any pressure on such a gate, it is not necessary to clear the entrance from the snow. At the same time in winter it is necessary to keep track of the roller base.

As already noted earlier, sliding gates are also suspended and cantilever. Hanging gates are least often mounted, for this purpose a metal beam is welded from above, and cloths are hung on it. The main disadvantage is the height limiter - through such entry it will not be possible to start building materials on a truck. If you increase the height of the supports - this will lead to higher prices, and the wind load will also increase.

The console version has no height limiters, for it does not need to mount the roller system in the foundation. The movement is carried out thanks to the console blocks, or rather, the beam, which can be installed from below, in the middle or above the canvas.

Some people, because of limited space, attach a garage to the entrance, so the entrance gate leads not to the site, but directly to the garage. And already in the garage is mounted a doorway, which provides an entrance to the main house.Therefore, for the implementation of the plan, the overhead gate is mounted. The sash closes the entire opening, the brush sealer protects from wind and precipitation. Directly lifting and closing is carried out by the hinge-lever fittings.

Plastic rollers move the fabric along the guides, which are mounted on the ceiling and on the sides. When the sash is fully open, it is located on the ceiling parallel to the floor. The work of the hinge mechanism is carried out thanks to the drive.

The sash itself is made of sandwich panels, which are double aluminum or steel sheets. Since this entry leads to the territory of the house, the canvas is warmed, and a polyurethane foam insulation is installed between the sheets. Its thickness should not be less than 40 cm

For cladding recommend imitation of marble, copper or bronze base, depending on the color of the house or fence. It is not forbidden to use a tree, but remember that it must be protected from precipitation and from pests. By the way, is used for cladding and profiled sheet. Steel sheets are pre-coated with powder paint.

When using a tilt-up system, there is no dependence on the availability of free space, since the opening is carried out at a height inside the room. The gate is mounted directly to the canvas.

Not to mention the disadvantages of such gates. First of all, we are talking about a weak protection against unauthorized hacking. When using bad insulation there is a high probability of icing and there is limit on the rise - no more than 10-12 times a day. When repairing replaces the entire sash, and not part of it. Decorating such a design is difficult.

The mechanism of the folding gate is the use of several parts of the telescopic leaf. These parts are successively closed-opened.

Cheap versions of folding doors resemble an "accordion", aluminum canvases are connected by loops, and rubber is laid between them, providing protection from the wind. Moving canvases on special guides.Free space for this type of work is needed less, in contrast to swinging open the gate.

They can be single-leaf and double-winged, they are equipped with windows. In addition, the doors differ not only in the opening pattern, but also in decoration and in size.

How the entrance gates are opened - it was considered earlier, the opening mechanism depends on the type of fittings. Conventional hinges are mounted in hinged varieties, roller base - for sliding and for swing-lifting.

The choice of the scheme will be determined by the free space, the financial position of the owner and his needs. Keep in mind, if the territory of the site is periodically planned to import building materials or large household appliances and massive furniture, restrictions on height should not be.

When mounting the entrance gates and wickets, they try to take into account the standard, according to which the height of the supporting pillars should be 3-3.5 m, the height of the doors directly - 1.8-2 m, the entrance width - 3.6-4 m, and the wickets - 1 1.2 m

Such a restriction is not imposed on the overall structure, but it is important to know that the supporting pillars and the foundation necessarily strengthened.Otherwise, the frame will hang down, support will vomit, which can lead not only to damage the fence, but also harm the health of people passing by.

It is useful to know that if the adjacent road is narrow, then the sash should have a different width. For example, the widest one is used for the entry-exit of personal vehicles, and the additional leaf opens only for the movement of heavy trucks.

In the old merchant houses, not only the trim panels and the porch were decorated with carved inserts, but they also decorated the entrance gates and gates. Today, they try to give up wood, this material breaks easily, is subject to rotting and deterioration.

Street entrance constructions in the present time try to do for ages. Paint is used to prevent rust.

Wrought iron gates and wickets are open and closed. When using the first type, the entire overview of the courtyard is at a glance, and in the closed metal elements are attached to the steel sheet.With the help of a special technology, a blacksmith can create not only the family coat of arms, but also various patterns, monograms, drawings.

First of all, for example, installation of swing gates and parallel installation of a single-leaf gate will be considered. Often this option is used to enter the territory.

A reasonable question arises - what tools are needed? At first, of course, a drill will be needed. This may be a country drill, a fishing ice-drill or a motor-drill. The last two types, as a rule, do not differ in large size, while the motor-drill works faster.

The main feature of the country drill is the ability to "increase". To do this, use the usual meter pipe with thread. In combination with the product itself, you can drill up to 1.5-2 m.

At the first stages, you will need a laser rangefinder. It is important that it has an error not exceeding 1.5 mm. It can be replaced by a 3-5 meter long tape measure. With their help, the terrain is marked. The required size of the gates and wickets have already been indicated earlier, it is important to comply with them.

It is important to prepare a wheelbarrow for the removal of vacated land. The first 30-40 cm is, as a rule, a fertile layer, it can be used for its intended purpose - decomposed in beds or greenhouses. Further, depending on the area, will go either clay or stone rocks.

If you wet the ground a little, drilling will not be so difficult, but it will be harder to pull it out. The most difficult thing with the drilling of stone, in some cases, you will need scrap to crush it.

After the first meter is passed, you need to lengthen the drill and continue to work. The metal pipe usually has a size of 3-3.5 m. Provided that about 2 m should protrude above the ground, the rest is submerged into the ground. Height is most convenient to measure with a range finder. There should be three such holes - two for the gate and one for the gate.

It is necessary to take into account the height of groundwater. If clay comes after the fertile layer, then rubble is added as a drainage, and if rock is a sandy mixture. The required amount of cement-sand composition is mixed in a concrete mixer.

At the bottom of the pit, a “pillow” is filled up, consisting of a layer of rubble and a layer of sand, compaction is performed. Profile or metal pipe - with dimensions of 100x100 or with a diameter of 80-100 mm, respectively, immersed in a hole. While one person holds it, the second pours the resulting texture inwards. If the installation is performed by one person, then the pipe is driven into the ground with a sledgehammer. A reinforcing mesh is used to enhance the effect.

Some builders instead of cement use the average fraction of rubble, which is laid in layers using scrap, periodically pouring water for the correct location of the stones. To the pipe did not lead, it is important to back it up.

If a profile pipe was used, then its upper part must be closed with a plastic stopper, but before that cement is poured inside the profile. The plastic cap provides protection from precipitation, as a result, in summer the metal will not start to rust from the inside, and in the winter the water in the pipe will not freeze, which means that the profile will not burst.

While the cement-sand mixture hardens, so as not to waste time in vain, a metal profile with dimensions of 40x25 is cut for the two wings and for the gate. Keep in mind that for maximum fixation and to give strength to metal structures stiffening ribs are mounted - for this it is enough to weld a diagonal guide. For cutting metal profiles used angle grinder, popularly called "Bulgarian", and for welding - a special device.

The corners are welded to metal supports, and already to them and to the frame - loops. Do not forget to take into account the minimum distance from the ground - the frame should not sag and touch the surface. After complete drying of the concrete mixture will hang the canvas. Directly to the frame sheets of corrugated board, picket fence or another decorative element are mounted. If it is planned to decorate metal posts with brickwork, then hinge elements are mounted directly into the brick.

Installation of corrugated flooring is carried out using a screwdriver, special screws, matched to the color of the sheets, as well as using a rivet gun.Riveter is of two types - in the form of a pistol and two-handed. The second, by the way, is more convenient to perform this operation. Place under the rivets pre-drilled, for this fit a screwdriver or an electric drill. A rivet firmly fixes a sheet of corrugated sheet with a metal profile, thanks to which it is impossible to dismantle the gate or wicket without damaging the product.

It depends on the location of the loops where the gates will open - either to the courtyard or to the street. Remember that if the carriageway is narrow or there are periodically vehicles on it, then opening is best organized inside.

A powerful bolt is installed to close the doors, it has a positive effect on the structure, thanks to which the frame will not sag during operation.

A lock is slammed into the gate, an additional ring for the bolt is welded onto the support. It will be necessary to equip the gate with an eye or a video intercom. To enhance the design on top you can weld an additional metal beam.

Otherwise, the installation of a movable structure. Since the movement is carried out on rollers, a special rail or metal profile is installed on the surface, the gate is equipped with a roller base and fixing brackets on top.

To strengthen the structure and to protect against strong winds under the gate and under the gate, a strip foundation is poured. To do this, dig a trench with a shovel with a rounded blade for the entire length of the structure and additionally take into account the stock on each side of 30 cm. The width of the trench should not be less than 40 cm; 150 cm should be dug into depth.

Pits are prepared for metal supports. The drilling procedure has already been described earlier, so it does not make sense to repeat this. At the bottom of the trench is laid a layer of sand, then it is shed with water. Pillars are inserted into the prepared holes, for fixing them before the hole is concreted, they are clogged with construction debris - bricks, tile residues or stones.

After that, the fittings are welded to metal posts for their binding. Experts recommend using three rows of 12 mm reinforcement, each subsequent row is mounted above the previous one. The ends of the reinforcement should protrude by 20–22 cm, for which the trench was pulled out with a margin. The last row should be located below the surface of the earth at least 10-13 cm.

The foundation is poured into pre-mounted formwork. In order to save it, you can refuse it. The choice is only for the owner of the country house. Directly filling can be carried out with breaks and without them. The first option is used for the durability of the foundation. Before channeling is installed, the channel should be located in the same plane with the base. Surface evenness is measured using a building level ideally, the foundation should not have drops.

If the deadlines permit, then the supports for the gate are made of concrete or brick. You should know that the concrete hardens within a month. It is important in the construction of brick or concrete pillars to apply steel mortgages - one support is enough for three elements.

During the drying of the foundation, it is required to make a metal frame from the profile on which the facing material will be attached in the future, and the support frame. Cutting and stripping of metal profiles is carried out using a grinder.

The location of the frame will depend on the use of one leaf or two, as well as on further sheathing. If you plan to sheathe only the front part, then the pipes are shifted to the edges, and if from both sides - are located in the middle.

Keep in mind that all metal parts must be degreased. For this purpose, a solvent is used, then a primer is used. Having waited for drying, a rail, bought in advance in a shop, is welded at the bottom of the bearing frame.

Experts advise to weld the guide rail, as, indeed, and pipes, chess. When welded crosswise, the support frame does not lead, otherwise the consequences could be dire. The seams are cleaned with an angle grinder, and then re-coated with a primer. When the primer is dry, you can paint the product, preferably in two layers.From an aesthetic point of view, the paint should be selected in the color of the main fence.

For lining is perfect panel. Vane gates anti-vandal, used in all weather conditions, they do not need to care for, they will last more than 30 years. They are fastened with the help of a riveter or with the use of a welding machine.

The next step is to assemble the structure. To do this, on the channel carriages are set, they must be pushed as far as possible. It is important to take into account the dimensions of the roller - the carriage should not adjoin the opening, at least the indentation should be 15-17 cm. The procedure is performed from two sides.

In the future, the frame is put on the carriage. If its position is even, it is welded to the channel, while it is important to periodically check the evenness with the help of a building level. As a result, the carriage platform is welded completely.

The next step is to weld the upper roller. At the beginning it is welded to the lower catcher, and later to the upper. The catchers themselves are attached to metal supports, and if concrete pillars were used - to mortgages.

Mechanisms of this kind can fail in the winter season, in contrast to the cantilever gate. Warming is not required for them, since they do not contact with ground guides.They do not need and height limiter, while one support is enough, which significantly saves time during installation.

The entire installation procedure described earlier is also suitable for this type, only the guide beam is attached to the frame itself from below. Inside this beam is mounted roller base. Folding and overhead doors in the private sector are installed very rarely due to the high cost and complexity of installation, so dwell on this in more detail is impractical.

Often, sliding gates are equipped with automation. Automatic opening of the swinging gates is carried out thanks to two mechanisms - linear and lever drive. Linear electric drive resembles something oblong box. The operation of the mechanism does not have difficulties reliability guarantees an uninterrupted service life.

Inside the box there is a long screw, which contributes to the work of the gearbox. As a result, the canvas either opens or closes. The body itself is made of high-quality metal, which is necessarily painted. As a paint powder coating is an ideal option.Unfortunately, other species under the action of precipitation quickly become useless.

Motor mounted on a support. If a brickwork acts as a pillar, then it is first necessary to remove a few bricks in it. To fit the box inside the support, experts advise to mount the mobile beam approximately in the center of the canvas.

It is very important to keep in mind that All wiring must be pre-connected and “walled” in plastic tubes. They protect against moisture and insects. Paving slabs can be laid on top of the communication. Fixing the ends of plastic tubes to the brickwork is carried out by special brackets.

Connection must be performed according to the instructions. For many models, the connection principle may be different. In no case should this work be carried out in rain or in snow; this is fraught with electric shock. It is important to consider when setting the stop, if, of course, it is planned to be installed.

Lever motor got its name thanks to two levers.Directly installed in the housing gear. One end of the lever is connected to the motor, and the other to the flap. This mechanism allows you to open the gate inside the yard, regardless of the width of the supports.

From an aesthetic point of view, the owners of country houses look like. It is concreted into the ground, with only a lever outside.

With regards to the configuration, the product consists of two electric drives and a control unit. Drives are mounted on the left and on the right, some manufacturers add a signal lamp, radio, antenna and photocells. They are designed to ensure that the doors do not accidentally crush pets, children or old people who did not have time to go in and out at the proposed time limit. And with regards to the signal lamp, it warns pedestrians about the beginning of the opening of the gate.

Keep in mind that before you go to the hardware store, you need to make measurements not only of the canvas, but also of the supports, take a picture of the whole gate and in particular the hinges, as well as the method of their fastening.

Sliding gates are most often equipped with automatic drives that have a gear, and that is what drives the mechanism. On the canvas is fixed toothed guide, which moves the gate to the right-to the left.

The installation of this system is not much different from that described earlier, the drives of the retractable system, having even a power of 550-600 N / m, are also supplied with photocells, but the speed of movement must be adjusted to force majeure situations. Many products are equipped with the "gate" function - the sash opens a short distance, sufficient for a person to enter and exit.

Electric motors are capable of moving gates weighing up to 2000 kg. Of course, such drives cost much more than those suitable for domestic use. But if the main bias is made on security and protection against hacking, then there is no need to save on this business.

The frequency of opening-closing will also affect the choice of product. The cheapest options from frequent use will be disabled automatically, otherwise the product will simply fail.

Required take care of backup power in advance. Although some models are equipped with rechargeable batteries, power from the generator will not be superfluous. Above, automatic opening modes were considered, but more often in suburban settlements semi-automatic modes are implemented - from the console.

In this case, the opening is realized not with relative proximity to the gate, but with a button. The consoles are of two types - with a floating and fixing code. The control panel with the fixing code has in its memory a certain combination of frequencies that is responsible for one or another action. Given the modern technological world, this is bad, because today not only houses, but also cars, but even people's pockets are stuffed with electronics. In the case of a coincidence of the combination, the automatic opening of the valves will occur, and any unauthorized person will be able to enter the territory of the country house.

Partial solution to the situation will be the reprogramming of the console, but no one will guaranteethat the signal will not be picked up, because, for example, a neighbor may buy a lamp that operates from the console tomorrow and inadvertently open the reprogrammed gate. But the accidental discovery is half the trouble, where it is worse when the attackers deliberately read the code and, after the owners move off, get inside not only the yard, but also at home.

Codes with a floating code have several hundred thousand, and sometimes millions of combinations. They never repeat. The system is programmed in such a way that when a signal is recognized, it opens or closes the gate. If the signal does not match the queue, no action will be taken. The probability of coincidence of codes with alternative consoles is relatively small.

Receiving equipment, sold in stores, can work with the consoles of the first type, and the second. It is mounted according to the instructions in relative proximity to the gate. The range allows you to open the gate in advancethat will ensure free entry into the territory.

Before arranging the central entrance and entrance it is necessary to think in advance about the location of the gate,whether it will be built into the gate or separate. Keep in mind that the built-in options have a threshold through which you will need to constantly step over. This may be difficult for young children or for the elderly.

It will be superfluous and sound, and light accompaniment. This is especially important to consider in poorly lit streets. In the case of opening the swing gates moving vehicles can enter the structure.

When a power outage should be provided for locking and unlocking mechanism. Otherwise, it will not be possible to get inside, and if the light was turned off at the time of opening, then the gate will remain open, which is fraught with unauthorized entry by intruders. In this case, do not forget about the alarm. She will warn you about hacking attempts.

Faster gates open and close faster. The speed of the sliding, as a rule, is lower by 20 percent. But recoiling at the same time occupy less space, their shutter is completely hidden along the fence.

Deaf gates and wickets are able to hide the interior from unauthorized persons, but their decor will not have a zest, unlike open versions - forged or carved. Lattice structures, in turn, are the lightest, which favorably affects support columns. Folding views are more suitable when combining entry directly into the garage. Well, which of them to choose is the right of the owner of a private house.

In this section, unusual options for gates and wickets will be presented. Remember that even cheap designs can be decorated so that all neighbors will be jealous, for this it is enough to use only 3D stickers.

How to make a gate with a gate with your own hands, see the following video.
