Installing a gate is not an easy task, because the design is dimensional, so it is difficult to organize the process yourself from start to finish. Undoubtedly, this case requires an assistant, and with recommendations from experienced professionals - it is more than real.
Let's start, perhaps, by remembering what species exist. There are swing, retractable gates for fencing and garage doors for the garage, which open, respectively, on the principle of the door, the method of shifting the structure along the fence or lifting up. Types are different in weight, complexity of installation, cost, appearance. Each client, judging by the need, the area to be opened, the allocated budget for the purchase, preferences in terms of shape, color, structure of the building and external aesthetics chooses the desired option.
Consider the step-by-step installation process on the example of sectional metal gates, because we are a company that sells modern fences. This category of goods is in great demand. To be very honest, retractable is much more difficult to install, because they have more elements in the configuration and more complex structure of the building, which you can see for yourself below.
Stages of installation of swing gates: simple recommendations
The process begins in both cases in the same way - soil preparation, which involves cleaning the area from debris, vegetation and leveling at the midpoint to further form the basis of future fencing.
Most often, swings are mounted by concreting columns, because the method is simpler and more reliable. To do this, follow the instructions:
1. After accurate marking, dig two holes under the pillars, 50 cm deep, by hand or with the help of a special drill.
2. Install one part of the structure, then the other, leveling and tightening the bolts on the posts to equality.
3. Concrete the columns into the holes with a concrete solution of cement, sand and gravel.
4. Mount a handle with a locking bar to ensure the privacy of the area to be locked.
5. Install the sash at the bottom of the structure on both halves for the stability of the exit group and to prevent opening at a distance of more than 90 degrees.
Installation of sliding gates: can be installed with your own hands
To get acquainted with the variety of installation, consider an alternative - anchor plates. The difficulty is not in the basis, but in the fact that many components and can easily get confused in the order of installation. For this purpose it is necessary to prepare a concrete basis in advance, to concrete not columns, as in the previous variant, and the whole framework on a fence line in width of gate on in advance leveled site, and to allow the basis to dry some days. Next, proceed with the installation.
Installation stages:
1. Make the holes with the drill for the anchors in the set and fix them together with the support posts with nuts.
2. Fix in a ground a megarail which will be a design basis.
3. Install the rollers for further smooth opening and closing.
4. Fix the catcher for smooth and silent lifting of the main part of the structure when closing.
5. Next, start the installation of the limiting rollers.
6. Install the main part of the building level.
7. Insert plugs into the holes to prevent moisture from entering the interior of the column.
8. Mount the brass core with handle and lock.
9. An additional point is the fastening of automation, if any. The device is fastened on the inside with bolts and provides automatic, ie comfortable use, because the work of the structure is carried out from the remote control. In addition, you need to fix the motion sensors.
