Gates made of corrugated with forging elements: beautiful design ideas

Decking refers to one of the new building materials, but it has already proven itself well. It is widely used both in industry and for the needs of the population: used in the manufacture of fences, in roofing and finishing the outer part of buildings. Residents of the private sector appreciated the beauty of the corrugated door and more and more often began to decorate their fence with elegant wrought products. Attracts their affordable price and the ability to make a product with their own hands.

The professional flooring represents a metal sheet with a corrugation. It is made from different metals. Steel is used in production; polyester, zinc and aluminum are used for the private sector, as well as their alloys. On forming machines flat sheets are given a corrugated shape. The professional sheet is covered with several layers of coating: galvanized, primer, anti-corrosion layer, painting.

The corrugation is wavy and trapezoidal, it depends on the strength of the material. The quality of the profile also depends on its height: the higher the sheet, the stronger it is.

Several grades of professional sheets are produced for various applications:

• C is a low canvas, suitable for the manufacture of gates and fences.
• NA - higher and stronger than the previous, used for wall cladding.
• H - high strength profile, it is used for sheds and floors.

For the manufacture of gates, many use profiled sheeting, because it is a modern material, and in combination with the forging elements, you can create perfect designs of fences. In addition, it has more advantages than disadvantages.

Benefits:

• Beautiful appearance.
• Ease.
• Durability.
• Durability to a certain level of mechanical stress, resistance to fire.

• It does not require special care.
• Amenable to self-installation.
• It has a corrosion-resistant coating, resistant to moisture and other environmental influences.
• Large selection of colors, brands and designs.
• Affordable price.

Disadvantages:

• The profile is able to deform with a strong blow, it can be cut through with an ax.
• If you break the anti-corrosion layer, the canvas will begin to deteriorate under the influence of moisture.
• Peeling paint, dents and scratches can ruin the look of a coating.
• Decking is able to get very hot from the sun.
• The material is quite noisy at impact.

According to the method of opening the gates are divided into several types:

• Swing - A favorite option among the population. Swing the door takes quite a lot of space. You can install the gate yourself. To do this, put metal supports to a depth of about a meter and fix them with concrete. The frame on which the profile will be held is created from metal pipes. The gates are hung on poles with the help of hinges.

• Recoiling - such doors are rolled back on special rails that are installed at the top or bottom of the structure. They are opened mechanically or automatically. Gates are good with a shortage of territory. Both options are perfectly combined with elements of forging.

• Lifting gates - with little effort rise up. Beautiful appearance and instability to hacking make them very popular. These gates cannot be decorated with forging,but this gap can offset the gate and the fence.

As for the gate of the profiled sheet, equipped with forged products, they are divided into:

• Decorative - use forging in the form of jewelry, it does not affect the strength of the structure itself.
• Massive - they are stamped by the manufacturers according to the created sample (an exclusive will cost a lot). The forged frame allows the professional sheet to gain special strength and protect the gate from strong mechanical effects.

Having dealt with the types of gates, to make a choice in favor of any design. The gate must be in harmony with the surrounding area and the house. It would be correct that the style of the product would correspond to the design of the yard and the house.

At the initial stage of the work, sketches are made with the exact dimensions of the future gate. According to him, given the size of the profile sheet, the required amount of material is calculated. Further work will require material for support. The height of the post depends on the design of the gate. 1 additional meter of height for reliability should be dug into the ground. For work, you will need a profiled sheeting, a pipe for the frame, means for metal processing.As well as forging elements, installation of which will be carried out by welding or screwing.

To begin work on the creation of the gate should be with the installation of supports. Mark out a place, dig holes under the pillars of more than a meter deep. The material under the support is cut to the desired length (the size of the sash plus 10 cm on the gap between the ground and the product plus the depth). Installed pillars reinforced cement mortar.

At the initial stage it is necessary to organize a flat platform for work on the structure. The framework for the gate can be bought ready, but if you decide to make it yourself, you need to stock up with a welding machine, a grinder, a screwdriver, scissors for metal, nylon thread. For metal processing will need a primer, anti-corrosion fluid and paint. Need and locking mechanism.

For self-assembly of the frame, a profile tube with a cross section of 40 to 20 mm is required. A rectangular structure is made of it with the help of a welding machine, it is reinforced with metal corners.The long sides of the frame are connected by several jumpers. A ready-made frame is tried on to the supports and a place for loops is marked, then they are welded.

At the next stage of work decking is decorated with forged elements. They are laid out on the canvas according to the sketch and fixed by welding. First, they work with large forged elements, then with small ones.

Retractable gates are automatic and mechanical. To install the product with your own hands, you can consider the second option. The advantages of this gate are in their compactness. Moving on special rails, they do not take the place of open doors.

Metal corners are involved in the manufacture of the frame, they are welded together in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of about 40 centimeters. Install the upper channel. Then professional sheets are mounted with roofing screws. The canvas, cut to size, is attached with an overlap on the metal frame. On the finished gate set rigidity, locking mechanism, valve and stops. The gates are fulfilled. As in the case of swinging gates, the design can be decorated with wrought iron elements.

Starting work on the foundation, prepare the design with a block of rollers and mortgage elements. They dig two holes below the depth of frost penetration, install a construction with a block of rollers for moving the web in them and fill the holes with concrete. The foundation runs to the middle of the gate.

Elements of forging are amazingly beautiful metal products. There are works of authorship, which are real works of art. Stamped elements that fill the construction market, too, do an excellent job with their purpose. The gate, decorated with them, looks presentable and aesthetically pleasing. There is a wide variety of forged items on sale - peaks, curls, baskets, openwork spirals, balls, spheres, a decorative floral range of products in the form of leaves, buds, wines and lianas.

With an independent design of the gate it is not necessary to have a special talent for drawing, they can always help out stencils and templates. Having made a sketch, you can stock up on the necessary details of the future forged product, and then assemble it as a designer, securing it by screwing in or welding.Stamped elements, adapted for quick assembly, give the gate an elegant look and enhance their rigidity.

Ideas for the design of the gate can be found in a large abundance of styles, just need to choose one of them.

Many prefer the design of the gate to arrange the elements of forging in a classic style.

Air, but strict decorations on the theme of floristry are painted in bronze or gold. The ornament of climbers repeats proportionally.

Gothic style is more suitable for massive gates. The decor is simple with a strict pattern. The use of thorns in the decoration or black color will not please everyone, but lovers of sturdy, reliable gates will appreciate this style.

Who does not like pretentiousness and floral theme, can use the high-tech style: straight lines with a clear calculation, no ornaments and ornaments. Chrome plating elements and various types of metal are used.

The complete opposite of hi-tech is baroque style. It has an active riot of flora, fauna and many other elements. The gates are like a parade for general delight.

Modern is beautiful, but does not like symmetry and clear geometry. All its lines are smooth, are in free vaping.Lack of logic can be very appealing.

You can choose any style of decoration with forging elements. Gates made of corrugated board are not only pleasing with their appearance, but also capable of serving their masters for up to 50 years.
