Automatic sliding gates in recent years have become more affordable, because due to the absence of guides, a car can drive into the territory of any height. Due to its reliability, the design can last a decade. However, not every consumer, having the necessary means, can afford the sliding gates, because they require primarily a sufficient space.
Stages of manufacture and installation of sliding gates
Before starting the manufacture of the gate, it is important to determine the exact dimensions. In order for the gate to roll back, you need to multiply the goal of the gate by one and a half – this will help you decide on the footage of accessories.
Then it is important to install support pillars, without which the installation of the gate does not make sense. The most diverse material from a steel pipe to a brick pillar can act as a support pillars. The only thing is to be focused on is the depth of concreting pillars that should not be less than one meter. Otherwise, in the spring after freezing the soil, the column can change its vertical. Concreting must be done in advance, because for its solidification it is necessary for about a week.
The next stage will relate to the preparation of the foundation, which should be at least 50% of the width of the goal opening. We need a channel in 20cm, and reinforcement with a cross section of at least 14 mm. The reinforcement must be cut 1 m and weld to the channel. For the foundation, it is necessary to dig a hole 40 cm wide and 1.5 meters deep, where the channel will be installed, and be poured with concrete.
While the concrete is hardened, you can make a supporting frame. For the frame, a profile pipe will be necessary, which is important to degrease and apply an anti -corrosion agent. The next stage will concern the welding of the frame. It is also important to weld the internal frame and the guide. After cleaning the welds, paint.
The next stage is less laborious, because it consists of a sheathing of a canvas.
After the foundation is ready, you can start installing the canvas. To do this, you need to install the videos on the channel and put on the guiding canvas. It is better to set the gates in level, and the roller carts for reliability to weld to the channel. We carry out the same operation with the upper rollers, as well as with catchers, which are better to weld to the pillar.
It is worth noting that in the case of independent manufacture and mounting of the gate, you can save well.
