Car enthusiasts that equip their country plots are often wondering how to cook the garage to the garage, and that in general it is required for this. Homemade gates will cost much cheaper if there is a tool required to work with the metal. In addition, there will be some skills in working with a welding machine. As a result, you can get a decent homemade gate for the garage. How to do it?

Drawing of the gate

The project begins with the idea, which is depicted on paper. The easiest way to cook ordinary swing gates, they are the least costly and quite practical in use. You can take this idea as a basis.

The first thing to be done is to create a gate drawing so as not to work blindly. If there are no skills in working with graphic editors and special software, and with drawing everything is very bad, you can search a friend who will help to fulfill such work, or order a drawing from a specialist.

As a rule, it will be a little expensive, but there is another option - find a suitable drawing. It is much more complicated, but still possible. Especially if the garage is still at the assembly stage, then the gate can be made of arbitrary sizes, and then finish the construction.

Of course, you can work blindly, but there is a high risk of errors, therefore it is worth drawing at least a primitive drawing that will schematically display the plan of events and exemplary dimensions of the future product. In the figure you need to roughly depict the future gate, and then note the dimensions of each side of the canvas, and even the details of the structure. This will help not only faster performing individual tasks, but also more correctly calculate the amount of material for work.

It is best to make symmetrical flaps so that no difficulties arise.

What should be in the picture or drawing:

1. Frontal view with the size of the canvas. Loops, latches and castle should also be depicted here.
2. In the top view, the thickness of the product is shown, the number of corners and other parts that are used for frames.
3. It is necessary to carry out the measurement of the opening and mark the size of the sizes in the figure. The minimum recommended gate height is 2 m for passenger cars and 2.5 m for a minibus. In the calculations for more overall machines, you will need to take the height of the vehicle and add 30 cm of stock to it. The typical width can range from 2.4 to 5 m, but for most cases it is suitable for 3 m. This size should be selected for your requests, take into account the vehicle width + the distance of the passage, according to which the person will be convenient to go between the car and the wall of the garage.

A sketch will facilitate work with ready-made details and blanks, then you should proceed to the choice of materials.

Materials and design elements

Welding of the garage gate requires the selection of the right material. The most accessible option is steel corners and metal sheets. What do you need to take? If the owner will count on ordinary swing gates. Here is a set optimal:

1. Corners 75 mm wide - the basis of the future frame. Of these, they will collect the support part of the structure.
2. Square profile for assembling the frame, they will be welded to the corners. The minimum is better to take from 25 mm width.
3. Drops for stiffness design are made from a profile from 50 mm wide.
4. As a trim, it is best to take the usual metal sheet, but there are still options with a professional flooring. It is harder to work with the latter, so this idea is new to refuse immediately. The minimum thickness of the sheet for the gate is 2 mm.

With the main material everything is clear, now you need to ensure the gate of the fixation system. It is required to take standard valves or latches for the garage gate, which will not eat in the cold. Immediately it is worth saying that the loops do not boil themselves, it is better to buy them. There are such inner bearing loops, they are conveniently open and easily withstand the weight even heavy design. And the loop data does not embarcate in the cold, it will be better to use them. You need in store 4 pcs. buy.

Tool and place of work

Since the garage gates will do from the metal, the corresponding tool will be required. This is what will be needed during the assembly of the gate:

1. Set for measurements - square, construction level, roulette.
2. Empathy metal is best than a grinder. You should stock circles both for cutting and grinding.
3. During the work, hammer, clamps, drill, as well as fastenings - hardware can be useful.
4. For welding, you need to take an inverter with 3 mm welding electrodes.
5. Brush for painting works. After you install the gate canvas in place, it will need to be predored and painted. The GF 021 and the pentaphthasis enamel will fit here.

Now about the workplace. The owner will need a large flat platform at which the frame can be welded, and weld metal sheets. Works can be carried out in the garage if size allowed.

And it will also need a minimum of 1 assistant to move the sheets of metal and the collected frame.

Start of workflow

Now how to cook garage doors. 1 Stage - assembly of the frame, for this you need to cook the corners of 75 mm and the profile into a single design, then the frame will be fixed and the fabric will be fixed. Works worth starting from the threshold in the following order:

1. Cut 2 corners wide the width of the future gate, arrange them along the threshold from the inner and outer sides. To weld them with each other with steel stripes or reinforcement with a step of 50-75 cm. Strips are placed on the inside of the corner. So, there is a threshold.
2. Cut another 4 blanks, they will go to the side of the frame. It should be placed tightly to the corners of the threshold, it is to cut the products so that they fit tightly to each other.
3. Put all 4 racks to the ends of the wall. Weld with connections, like the bottom of the frame before. Pagting of connections - 40 cm from the threshold and ceiling, and the average - on an equal distance from the top and bottom planks.
4. Take the threshold to racks.
5. You need to install the upper part of the frame, to correct, where you need, weld communication, then cook with side racks. Frame ready.
6. If some of the elements was led, it can be corrected, weld the lever.

Assembling inner frame

Wear a garage gate with your own hands is not so easy if you hurry. The more careless welding, the greater the chance that the frame and frame will be curves. If the owner never engaged in welding metal, it is worth asking a familiar specialist to help this. So, you need to start assembling the frame:

1. In the finished frame, you will need to install the sash and consolidate them on the loop. It is necessary to withstand the gaps for the frame - from above 10 mm, on the side - 5 mm, the lower gap from the threshold is 20 mm.
2. Cut off the corner along the length of the side of the frame, cut another 30 mm and put in accordance with the gaps to the outer side part of the frame. A piece of metal needs to grab the workpiece at this distance to the exterior frame of the frame, you can grab 2 elements to fix for sure. With the opposite side, repeat the procedure.
3. From the bottom and on top to weld the corners horizontally, cut according to the size of the frame.
4. Attach to the loop frame and welcome them to the parts of the frame. After that, you can trim the weldings, which part of the frame was fixed on the frame.
5. Install in the middle 2 racks, fight them.
6. Quick 1-2 jumpers for each door.
7. So that the gate without the canvas do not seek, it is necessary to immediately put off.
8. Now you need to check and open the gate.
9. It remains only to screw the canvas.

This is the main part of how to cook the gate into the garage. Next remains to secure the canvas. Sheets can be booked both entirely and in parts. The sheet should be grabbed first at the corners, then in the center, and then walk through the entire perimeter, otherwise it will behave in the process of work.

It remains to put locks, valves, paint the cloth and the gate are ready!

Conclusion on the topic

Alone without any special experience with the metal, you can perform swing metal gates for the garage. The list of tools and materials is described, the approximate work scheme is also given. The main thing - during the welding of the details do not rush, otherwise the design will behave, and you have to correct everything, which will take a lot of time.

Swing gates are the most common in the world, the simple and reliable mechanism of the movable barrier. The gate is properly welded: the design of two sash is tested for hundreds of years. The technology "at the place" is traditional for the fences of this type.

To cook the gate to the garage correctly, you need to choose their kind, type, size before the construction.

The dimensions of the enclosing design of the garage are calculated based on the type of vehicle. The dimensions of the existing car (they are measured along the edge of the mirrors) increase to the dimensions of the intended perspective. To the value obtained:

• 0.6 m - if the car is moving directly at the entrance to the garage;
• 1.0 m - if the entry from the turn.

Approximately for passenger cars, the width of the stem is 2.4-2.5 m; For SUVs, it is necessary to provide a width - 3-3.5 m. The height of the opening is designed within: 2-2.2 m.

Pre-project work

The task you want to decide before cooking the gate with your own hands is the definition of their type. If the method of manufacture - self-made, alternative to swinging can only be a rollback gate. Fencing of other types - rolled, sectional, folding better order in a specialized company.

The design of the disintegration, opening the outward goal, consists of two main nodes:

• mortgage carrier box
• directly sash;
• smaller assembly units - loops, handles, locks.

At this stage you need to decide on the materials. The design will be easier if the sash is made from a professional flooring - rolled metal sheets with a thickness of 0.35 to 1.2 mm. The frame in this case is collected from wooden bars or metal profiles. Connections make split - on self-drawing or screws. The gate from the profile can be insulated with foam or mineral wool and from the inside to sew finishing material. The lack of such a fence is obvious: it is easy to disassemble the details with the help of a wrench. Eliminate the likelihood of such an autopsy in one way: to cook garage gates

If the garage is located outside the constant surveillance zone, experts recommend to weld metal gates. To this end, you need to choose:

• for mobile shelves with a steel sheet with a cross section of 2-3 mm;
• for frame - profile pipe 20x40 mm.

The box is made from the corner, the size of at least 63 mm; Use the 70th or 75th corner.

Metal parts of this thickness can be connected by a welding seam, forming a single in-nozzle design.

Selection of frame design and drawing

The box is two frames bonded by jumpers. The frame design (shown in the photo) resembles a ring with concave edges, which covers the ends of the walls along the entire perimeter of the ribs. The first frame - external frame - is made from angle directed by shelves inside the garage. When assembling the second frame - internal strapping, the corner is laid by the shelves outward.

Details of the box should be welded. In this case, the regiments of the corner at the point of the compound are trimmed at an angle of 45o. The smaller length of each corner should be equal to the distance between the opposite edges of the wall less than 10mm. This centimeter is a technological gap (2x5 mm), it is necessary for the convenience of mounting the frame. Thus, the inner width of the garage opening inside the box will be equal to:

• The width between the ends of the walls is 10mm (double technological clearance) - 16 mm (double the thickness of the shelves of the corner).

• The sizes of the frame of profile pipes in the width should be less than the openings between the frames of 20 mm (quadruplex): it is necessary for the free movement of the sash.
• The length of the vertical guide is equal to this distance; The lengths of horizontal ribs are reduced by 80 mm: two thicknesses of vertical pipes.

Stiffness edge design should provide:

• external framing;
• transverse, longitudinal, and if necessary, and diagonal elements.

Assembly and welding

About how to cook the gate look at the video.

The box is laying out on the technological table. It is four reference platforms installed in the corners of the design at one height. As sites, you can use a brick or slagoblock. Before the start of welding:

• matching corners are laid out with the level and equality of diagonals:
• fasten with clamps;
• "Grab" points;
• adjust articulations;
• weld;
• measured the diagonal.

The difference between them should not exceed 5 mm.

The operation is repeated for the second box. In a way, both on the video, from the profile pipes weld the cores of the sash.

The attachment of the cutlets to the frame of profile pipes is carried out by welding every 100 - 150 mm. The right canvas is wider than 20-50 mm.

The loops are fixed in the following way: the flaps are inserted into the opening and adjust in height and level. The movement step is 5 mm. This is enough to correct a minor technological error: the free stroke of the vertical cloth in accordance with the drawing is 20 mm.

Garage loops are welded in this way: the lower half (with a supporting rod) is to the frame, and the upper - to the movable canvase. After final adjustment of the enclosing mechanism, the fastening of the loops is amplified by steel plates, which are boiled around the perimeter. The box is fixed to the slopes with metal rods with a length of 150 mm.

Alternative types of fences

Installation of a retractable gate from Profitrubs with a web from the profile will require additional work:

• construction;
• plumbing;
• assembly;
• electrical ones.

Construction work includes, firstly, the construction of the support beam. To do this, in front of the garage across the width of the opening, the foundation is poured, in which the stacking channel 200 mm is mounted in the shelves down. Secondly, the end walls are reinforced by the amplifying columns to which the design will be relying.

The gate from the professional flooring is hung on mortgages from proftrube (as in the photo), which are mounted in the columns. Cares with rollers are attached to the flaps - at one edge and the end roller - in the other. Movement is carried out by support chapeller. An electric motor is used as the drive. In the electrical circuit there is a shut off relay.

Final operations

All metal surfaces must be cleaned, primed and painted. Finished garage doors can be inspired. Upon completion of the work, it is worth calculating: how much does the gate cost, if the work is done with your own hands.

The garage is a structure that pays special attention, especially in terms of burglar resistance. And such an element, like a gate, must have double strength and reliability, and of course, an attractive appearance. Traditionally, the garage doors are a swing design of two sash, hung on the box. Make them with your own hands - not a problem if you own the skills of working with a simple plumbing tool and the welding machine. This will be discussed in the article: On the variants of the swollen gates, the technology of manufacturing and nuances of the installation process.

Types of garage doors

In addition, the swollen gates for the garage are traditional and very reliable, they have other advantages.

1. The cost of the design is cheaper than all other models.
2. Swing modification can be inspired using various thermal insulation materials.
3. Can be installed in a limited space.
4. Opening can outside or inside the garage, depending on the owner's requirements.
5. The ability to install an electric motor for automatic opening.

The only big drawback is free space to open design flaps. It is sometimes problematic in winter when the snow pumps drifts before the garage. Therefore, you have to wave a shovel.

Minus swing gates - have to be cleaned from snow to the platform

In addition to the swollen gates in the garages, other varieties are installed.

Folding

This is a sectional type of gate, the elements of which are installed vertically and are connected together with a hinged way. The extreme sections are attached as swing, to the box with loops. Additional mount - along the upper or lower guide. Sections from different materials are manufactured, more often from aluminum alloys or wood.

Pros of design:

• unusual appearance,
• convenience of opening and closing,
• do not occupy a lot of space in the open state,
• sections separately can be changed, repair,
• low price.

Cons: fast wear and low protective functions.

Rotary lifting

Purely constructively, this is a solid shield, which closes the entire entrance doorway. To open the gate rise and rotate 90 ° so that they turn out to be at the top of the horizontal plane. To do this, use the lever system, gearbox and electric motor.

Pluses of the model:

• high reliability
• in the open form, the gate does not occupy any place,
• be insulated
• amented to automation.

• high installation accuracy is required,
• the gate remains in the opening, reducing its height by 20-30 cm,
• it is not recommended to use them intense.

Rotary gate

Lifting-section

This design of several sections arranged horizontally and interconnected by special loops. With the help of a lifting mechanism located on the ceiling, the gate rise across the guide profiles and are located horizontally along the ceiling. Sections are mostly manufactured from sandwich panels.

Pluses of the model:

• universality in terms of sizes of opening,
• saving free space when opening,
• good resistance to deformations and mechanical loads,
• full automation,
• presentable appearance,
• high heat and sound insulation qualities,
• long-term operation.

• high price,
• permanent service required: Lubrication loops and guides, check electricians and automation,
• low hack resistance.

Lifting-section doors

Rolled

These garage doors received their name according to the opening method. Purely constructively - these are several lanes (lamellas) collected in one canvas, which is twisted into the roll. Therefore, the gate includes two guides, holding the design in the opening, the shaft to which the lamellas are wound and the electric drive.

Benefits:

• compactness
• acceptable price,
• easy installation,
• long-term service
• presentable appearance,
• ability to automate.

• practically zero burglary,
• there is no possibility of warming, because there are always gaps between the slats,
• do not work well at low temperatures.

Rolled gate.

Reloading

In this design, one sash that keeps on a guide profile, located on top, and rests on the rail. Opens the device to rolling towards along the wall.

The pros will be attributed to:

• e functionality depends on the snowdrifts,
• does not occupy places when opening,
• high burglary,
• ability to conduct automation.

• rapid wear,
• width of the wall, along which the gate is shifted, there must be more width of the sash.

Sliding gates

Technology manufacturing swing garage gates with their own hands

So, the swollen gates for the garage are two sash (more often the same in width), which are hung on the P-shaped box through loops. Therefore, when a task is to make the gate of this type, several questions are solved:

• making sash,
• production of the box (frame),
• installation of the latter
• installing sash on the frame.

Before starting the manufacture of swollen gates, you need to decide on their dimensions.

Dimensions of garage swing gates

Strict requirements regarding sizes do not exist. The main thing is that the car can freely enter the garage, not tasting the gate. And this allows you to make any opening, the width and height of which more dimensions of the machine on each side are 30 cm. But it is inconvenient especially for beginner drivers.

• height for passenger cars - 2.0-2.2 m, for minibuses - 2.5 m;
• the width is optimal 2.5-3 m, the maximum is 5 m.

Standard Dimensions of Swing Gate

Gate preparation

Required tools:

• welding machine and electrodes;
• bulgarian with cutting and grinding disc;
• roulette, ruler and marker (chalk);
• level and corner.

Required materials. The outer side of the gate is a sheet steel sheet with a thickness of 3-4 mm or professional flooring with a thickness of at least 1.2 mm. If the first material is used in the design, then the entire process of compounds is carried out by electrical welding. If the second, then the fastening of the professional flooring to the frame can be carried out by self-assembly for metal.

As a material for assembling a frame, you can use or a corner of 63x63 mm, or a profiled tube 40x40 mm thick 2-3 mm. The second option is cheaper and easier to use.

Drawing of swollen garage from the profile pipe

And the last element is the loops that are made of a steel bar with a diameter of at least 25 mm. The loops should be at least four two for each sash.

Now, as for the P-shaped box. It consists of two racks and crossbars (crossbars). The first can be made from angle of 63x63 or round-section pipe with a diameter of 80-100 mm, or a profiled tube with a cross section of at least 80x60 mm. Crossbar of the same materials. If the construction of a two-storey garage is planned, then the reservoir number 12 is better used as the crossbar.

Assembly drawing of the gate

Making frames for sash

The first stage is a cutting of eight segments of the material prepared for the assembly of the frames. Four of them should be equal to the gate altitude minus 1-2 cm, four width of the sash, that is, half the width of the portal design minus 2-3 cm. For example, if the overall gate width is 3 m, it means that you need to cut four elements 1, 48 m.

Frame exhibition on blocks in the horizontal plane

An important point is the assembly of the frames should be carried out on the horizontal plane. It is not necessary that this was a flat platform, it is suitable for any type of stand, the top ends of which are set in one horizontal plane. To do this, you can use bricks or blocks. They are installed in the corners of the rectangle, the length of which is equal to the height of the sash, the width of the width of the gate section. They are stacked accordingly chopped segments, and then the level is checked - whether they lie along the horizon. Deviations are aligned with a lining under blocks of thin dusts, pebbles or sheet metal.

The laid segments are fixed with each other spot welding with accurate setting of adjacent elements between themselves under 90 °. This uses a construction corner. This is an important point that defines the exact dimensions of the future portal design, which will definitely fit into the box without distortion and large gaps.

Scheme ribs stiffness

Two frames are formed, now it is necessary to increase the stiffness of the structure by installing additional elements: horizontal or vertical if the gate is large, then those and others are used. Sometimes complement them with oblique elements. The material uses a corner or a smaller profile pipe. For example, if the frames were collected from the pipe 40x40 mm, then 40x20 mm can be used for amplification. Additional elements are uniformly distributed relative to each other.

After assembly, the frames need to drill joints on both sides and polish them from Okalin and metal lifettes.

The rigidity of the framework frames define additional elements set vertically and horizontally

Compound frame and steel sheet

From the iron sheet for each sash it is necessary to cut a rectangular segment. To their sizes there are certain requirements:

• the length of the segments should be greater than the height of the gateway by 3-4 cm;
• one of the rectangles in the width should be 2 cm less than the width of the frame, and the second is more on the same size.

For example, if the width of the flaps is 1.5 m, the height is 2.5 m, then one sheet will be 1.52x2.54, another 1.48x2.54 mm.

Now, in height, two sheets are stacked on the frames so that their edges protrude beyond the framework of 2 cm on each side. The protrusions of the sheets will close the gap between the sash and the box. As for the width, the sheets with the profile pipe are stacked by the loop of the sheets. In one sash, the sheet will perform from the opposite side by 2 cm, in the other, on the contrary, its edge will not reach the edge of the frame. This is done so that when the gate is closed, the protruding sheet closes the gap between the sash.

Attention! Sheets to the frame are welded point from the edge to the center. After that, the carrier is made with small segments within 3-4 cm in 10-15 cm increments.

Fastening sheet to the frame produced by short seams

Build a box of swing gate

The sizes of the box are determined by the size of the opening. At the same time, a half-meter is added to the length of the support racks, which the design is recessed into the prepared pits followed by concreting.

Build a box is made according to identical technology as the frames of the sash, with installation on bricks or blocks. Dimensions of the box on the inner contour in the width of a little more overall width of the sash. The difference is 2-3 cm. In height, the difference may be significant - up to 5-6 cm. Although optimal - 3-4 cm.

Swing

Mounting loops

For this, the sash is stacked on the P-shaped box with an exact location in the plane with the formation of gaps between all items. The loops in the assembled form are applied at the place of their required location and weld: the lower parts of them to the box stands, the top to the frame frame.

To enhance fasteners, you can additionally welcome metal stripes or fittings to hinges.

Proper and high-quality loop welding

Installation of swollen gates

Ideally, the portal box should be mounted in the process of building a garage when the walls are already raised from the brick or blocks. But regardless of this, installation is carried out on the same technology.

1. Pubs are digging under the racks of depth 0.5 m.
2. One or two side edges are welded to the lower edges of the racks or a corner of 10-20 cm long, the purpose of which is to perform the functions of the elements held in the concrete.

Preparation of the rack before concreting pit

1. From the bottom of the supports welded metal plates in the form of a patch to stop on the ground.
2. The half-meter ends of the racks are treated with waterproofing composition, for example, hot bitumen or closed with rubberoid.
3. The installation of a box in the pits with accurate setting in the opening is used for which the construction level is used.
4. Racks weld to mortgage items that are installed during the wall masonry. A reinforcement is often used as mortgages with a diameter of 12-16 mm, 50 cm long. Stacking step - every 6-8 rows.
5. Concrete is made at the rate of cement-crushed stone in the 1: 2: 2 ratio, if the cement brand M400.
6. Pouring concrete into pits with a rambling. This is done not only to compact concrete solution, but also in order to squeeze the air from it that came there in the process of kneading. Air pores are a decrease in concrete strength.
7. You can hang the sash on the box after the concrete grabbing and dry.

How to make a gate with a gate?

The process of assembling a swing gate with the door is exactly the same. Just in one of the flaps are inserted four elements that form the opening for the door. Vertical are installed in full height, horizontal between them in the form of cross. The design of the doorway is assembled at the stage of manufacturing a frame under the leaf.

The location of the door in the gate with standard sizes

The door itself is manufactured in the same way as the Gate Sections, with the frame assembly and the installation of the metal sheet. The complexity of the process of manufacturing the sash itself, in which the door is installed, is that the doorway remains an unlocked sheet of metal, and the remaining planes must be closed. All of them will not be equal to each other, so each site must be measured accurately, move the dimensions to the sheet and cut them. After that, each carved piece is transferred to a frame with point welding around the perimeter. At the same time, the stacked segments of sheets should be shrinking on additional profiles that create the rigidity of the frame structure.

Drawing of garage swing gates with gate

The size of the wicket is selected with the calculation of a convenient pass through it, as well as the size of the goal sash. For example, if the width of the sash is 1.5 m, the width of the wicket must not exceed 1 m. As for the height, the height of the gate and the location of the door itself relative to the lower elements of the gate frame elements are also taken into account. At the same time, the maximum layout is 40 cm. The height itself is the height of the door in the range of 1.8-2.1 m.

Conclusion

With the seeming simplicity of the assembly process, it should be noted that the manufacture of swing garage gates requires attention from the manufacturer of attention, the ability to accurately carry out all measurements and calculations. It cannot be released from the hands of measuring instruments. A small deviation in shape or sizes can lead to the fact that the sash simply do not fit in the frame. We will have to make fit on the place, which will affect the evenness of the elements.

For reliable protection of the car from the encroachment of attackers, the garage gates are made of metal. However, the factory options are expensive, so cheaper to make them yourself, if there are skills to work with welding equipment. Enough and have a clear idea how to weld the gate in the garage.

The choice of gate design depends on the availability of free space near the garage and its size. Taking into account these parameters, the optimal type is selected:

1. Reloading shifted the side, practical and comfortable. However, when opening it takes place equal to the magnitude of the width of the sash.
2. Rollent consist of plates that are cleaned into the box installed on the ceiling. Convenient, economical, but easily opened by intruders. Therefore, it is recommended to use them in protected premises.
3. The rotary gates in the lifting gate rises vertically using a lever-rotary mechanism. He is bought in the store or do it yourself. An additional place inside and outside the garage for opening is not required what is relevant for small yards.
4. Sectional structures consist of several parts climbing the guides to the ceiling using a spring device.
5. The swollen gate has the simplest design, but it will take free space on the sides and in front of the garage.

Methods of manufacture

Depending on the possibilities and the degree of availability of the garage, 3 options are possible, how to weld the garage doors:

1. The gate separately collected until the construction is completed. After delivery and installation in place, the construction of the front wall is completed.
2. If the construction is finished, weld the sash in the size of the finished opening, are brought, installed.
3. Installation is made at place.

The third option is preferable for newbies that do not have the experience of welding the gate with their own hands. They do not have to produce numerous measurements with high accuracy, align diagonal on sash, deliver heavy construction to the installation site.

To prevent errors in the manufacture of the gate that you have to correct, you need to prepare the drawings of the main elements. It is easier for them to determine the size, location of parts, the amount of material. When drawing up:

1. Optimal sfolders, no obstacles for free opening.
2. To properly weld the gate, the distance between the car and the side wall is set at least 30 cm. If you plan to buy an iron horse with large, than that of the current, size, the opening is done on the increase.
3. Height of at least 2 m.
4. Optimal dimensions depending on the dimensions of the car 2.4 × 2.1 or 5.4 × 2.4 m.
5. Reliable and durable will be the sheathing of flaps made of galvanized steel sheet 2 - 5 mm thick.
6. As a constipation, you should not choose a suspension lock on external loops, reliable application of armored linings.

How to make a garage do it yourself - step-by-step process

Sometimes due to lack of space, you have to choose a rolling or sectional gate that are complex in the manufacture. Therefore, a newcomer is better to purchase a kit for welding the garage gate with their own hands. The assembly is made in accordance with the attached instruction in which the sequence of actions is described in detail. If there is enough space, the swollen gates are selected.

Tools and materials

During the work, it is undesirable to be distracted in search of components, so they should be drawn up in advance. To make the gate to the garage from the profile pipe you should stock:

• Building level.
• Welding machine.
• Roulette.
• Corolon.
• Bulgarian with cutting and grinding circle.
• Steel corner for welding bearing frame. Since she has to withstand a significant load, a corner will be required not less than the 75th.
• For the manufacture of flaps, profile pipes of the 25th size are used.
• Loops with bearings, preferably for the internal installation. They will provide ease of opening and will not be freezed in winter.
• Material for plating sash. Depending on the desire and capabilities, the steel galvanized or profile sheet is selected, wood. The tree preserves heat better, but the metal is reliable.
• The range of shut-off systems is extensive, so the choice is limited only by financial capabilities.

The assembly of the gate is desirable to produce on. With its absence, they prepare a flat platform with a channel laid on it. So that the gate does not acquire the propeller shape, the horizontal surface is checked by the level.

When materials and place are prepared, proceed to welding garage gates. It is starting from assembling an external and internal frame in the following sequence:

1. At first, the size of the height and width of the opening is measured with the highest possible accuracy.
2. According to the measurement results from the corner, blanks are cut.
3. Segments are put on the table or pad. The level is checked by horizontal, and the coal or measuring the diagonals - angles. If necessary, the lining is used.
4. After welding the frame, the seams in the places of fitting of the flaps are carefully cleaned with flush so that when closing there is no cracks.
5. To enhance the stiffness of the structure along the corners of the corner cropping, the levers are welded.
6. Prepared elements are combined by tap in several places.
7. Then it is performed on the place, inconsistencies are corrected by the blows of the hammer, the joints copier completely.
8. Using the same corner, the second frame is assembled.
9. On the discovery, both parts are fixed with metal pins 15 - 18 cm.
10. The protruding parts of the rod boils and clean the surface with the surface.
11. For compound, the frames use metal strips, welded after 50 - 60 cm.

Cook the flaps of the gate

The basis of the sash is a frame collected from profile pipes. By cutting the workpiece, it should be borne in mind that for a free opening between it and the frame you need to leave the gap 1 - 2 cm. Pipes are laid out on a flat surface. After checking the corners and alignment horizontally, they grab. It is done, in the absence of flaws, the second frame is welded. If both sash are located in the frame as it should be copprened completely.

Stiffness ribs are installed to enhance the design. Their number depends on the size and weight of the sash, but not less than two in the height of the frame. If in addition to storing the car, the workshop device is assumed, it is recommended to do in the garage gate gate. It uses corners for its framing.

Sheaving

The quality of this operation depends on both the appearance and the functionality of the gate. Therefore, the work should be done carefully in the following order:

1. First, the metal sheet is cut out for the left sash of this size so that it will overlap the brass the right side by 2 cm.
2. Then they grab it to the frame.
3. The leaf for the right side is cut into account with the allen, so as not to reach 2 cm to the side edge of the sash.
4. So that the sash does not behave, the trim welded point. When covering continuous sutures of the frame of the frame, the clamps are attached to the champoles. Welding produce alternately on both sides by plots of 10 cm.

Welding loops

Bottom to the carrier frame, and the top to the sash. Curved metal strips are used to enhance the attachment (5 - 7 mm). They are applied to the top of the loops and frame. The reliability of the loops increases with the help of internal tabs from thin reinforcement rods. Clean welds are cleaned so as not to interfere when closing.

Installation of locks and constipation

Most often, mounted or mortise locks are installed on the gate. However, they are unreliable, because in winter problems occur when opening. Therefore, constant lubricant is required and protection against moisture in the form of a visor. The models with cylinder mechanisms are especially susceptible to this fear. Experienced motorists recommend installing the Suwald Castle. To increase security, the goal from the inside is locked on the Casps and the pins. But then the wicket in the sash or the wall will be required.

Painting Gate.

This operation is necessary to protect the metal from corrosion. The coating update is made 1 time in 2 years. Work is performed in several receptions:

1. After stripping the surface, degreasing by any solvent.
2. Then the primer with an anti-corrosion function is applied.
3. So that there are no paint drills to apply a spray with a spray with a spray with a sprayer or roller.

We warm the gate

For laying insulation on the inside of the flaps, a wooden lamp is attached, which is filled with polystyrene, mineral or glass. For regions with a temperate climate, a layer is sufficient 5 cm thick, for the northern - 10 - 15 cm. When laying, you need to ensure that all intervals are filled. After laying, the insulation is closed by plywood or clapboard. At the end of the slot between the frame and slopes are close to the installation foam.

Self make the gate in the garage alone will not work, since the metal components weigh a lot. Therefore, you need to resolve the issue with the assistant. But to equip the opening gates by automatics of the opening and alarm can be alone if there is knowledge and experience in this area.

Garage - Mandatory buildings for car owner. Those who live outside the city in private houses build garages next to the house or even attach to the house. And those who live in a big city feature have to be stored a car in the garage cooperative away from home. But wherever the garage does not have, the safety of the car in it provides the gate, the design of which may differ depending on the preferences of the owner and the possibilities of the room, space and expediency.

The simplest solution will buy a ready-made gate and install them in place, but you can perform a garage doors with your own hands, be sure to consider all the features of the design and customizing them, which is called, "for themselves." In this case, you will be exactly sure of their quality and reliability.

At the moment, there are several types of garage gates. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. To install some types of design, a lot of free space is required inside or in front of the garage.

Rotary design

Most types of garage gates appeared relatively recently. For example, a design, which when opening rises, and then leaves for the ceiling. It is enough to press a specific button on the control panel. The basis of this design is a hinge-lever mechanism, as well as guides. The main advantage of such a gate is that they do not occupy free space before or inside the garage. However, it is necessary to consider such a design only if the construction is heated.

Swing doors

The most reliable and ancient option is swamming garage gates. Similar structures are used everywhere. Often they equip not only garages. After all, such gates are working trouble-free even in more stringent conditions. A similar design of several flaps, equipped with hinges, as well as a box that is installed in the doorway. Close such gates are quite tight. There is no gap between the sash. You can make such a design yourself. After all, the mechanism is quite reliable and simple.

Retractable design

In the first half of the 20th century, a rollback gate appeared. The design consists of one sash that moves parallel to the front wall to the side. In fact, such flaps can be somewhat. This design has drawback. It requires a lot of free space in the front wall of the building. That is why skipping designs are installed mainly in industrial or angry rooms.

Lifting-section doors

This species appeared not so long ago. The design is a cloth that consists of sections. When opening, such a gate gradually drives under the ceiling, refracted. The basis of such a gate is the guides with a chain transmission and spring mechanism. The main advantage of the lifting-section design is the saving of space.

Roller doors

Pretty rarely used as garage gates rolling structures, as they do not provide due reliability. Such a gate is aluminum plates that are folded into the box located under the ceiling. It is worth installing such structures only if the garage is located on the protected area and heated.

The lifting gate is divided into two types:

• Lifting sectional. The gate canvas consists of several parts that are interconnected with a rigid construction. As it raises, they are bent and gather. When lowering the selected sections are straightened and aligned in the original (level) position.

• Swivel. In contrast to the previous species, in this case the main canvas of the gate is not capable of exposing the deformation. The principle of their action lies in the fact that the sash on the curved trajectory will rise. At the same time, the upper part is slightly deepened inside. The remaining part of the sash rises outside.

Installing the garage gate with the lifting mechanism in two cases occurs almost the same. And you can perform it yourself.

The advantages of the lifting gates and their shortcomings

Homemade lifting gates for the garage have a number of indisputable advantages that allocate them among other types of devices. The main advantages are:

• Saving space. To raise the sash, a place under the ceiling is used, which is usually never used. Due to this, it is not necessary to spend useful meters on Earth next to the garage.
• Folds are a solid canvas. And this is a reliable protection against the penetration of foreign ones.
• There is an opportunity to insulate the sash. Most often for this use polystyrene foam.
• It is possible to install a mechanism for automatic lifting.
• Suitable for installation not only single, but also double garages.
• The external finish can be any, due to which the gate will harmoniously fit into the decoration of the garage and the design of the entire site.

Cons of lifting gates flow from their design.

They are not much, but they do not need to write off their bills. The disadvantages include:

• One-piece leather sash is not subject to partial repair. In case of damage, it must be changed completely.
• Mounting the gate is possible only in the opening of the rectangular shape.
• Installation requires certain knowledge.
• The gate rise up, due to which the height of the opening is reduced.
• Warming must be considered in advance. The fact is that the mechanism of the lifting gate is designed for the load of a certain value. The addition layer of the insulation will entail an increase in the load on the mechanism.

The device of the gate and the principle of their action

The main elements of the design that carry the load are frame, guides and mechanism for moving the web. The gate is open in automatic (using remote control) or manual mode.

Levers are fixed to the bottom of the sash. In the upper ends there are two more guides for which rollers are moving. With the help of these elements, the sash lift occurs. To do this, you only need to pull the handle, which is located below the canvas. There are no difficulties with this, since springs in a stretched state come to the rescue. Soldering lift scheme can be seen in the picture above.

Lifting mechanisms

The lifting mechanism can be two types:

• Level-spring. This is the most popular garage owners mechanism. It is characterized by simplicity design and reliability. The manufacture of metal gates with a similar mechanism involves accurate springs adjustment, the exact installation of the guides (for which the rollers will move later).
• If the sash has a lot of weight, preference gives a counterweight mechanism. In this case, the winch is used. On the one hand, the counterweight is fixed, which is connected with another edge of the sash using a cable.

The choice of a suitable mechanism is made taking into account the specific situation.

Preparatory work

Before making and installing a lifting gate for a garage with your own hands, you need to conduct preparatory work.

The surface of the walls and the ceiling should be even so that the guides are installed without tilt. Any dust when entering rollers or guides can disrupt the work of the entire mechanism. Therefore, all construction and finishing works inside the garage must be completed. It does not touch the floor. This is due to the fact that the frame goes inside at least 2 centimeters. Therefore, it will be necessary to complete the construction of the floor after the installation of the garage gate will be produced.

The opening should be ready to install the gate frame. There are main calculations on it. Therefore, you need to know its dimensions. The dimensions needed during the construction of the gate describes the drawing of the garage lifting gates in the picture below.

Necessary materials and tools

Depending on the size and selected gate design, the number of necessary materials may vary. But with the most easily solution to the manufacture of metal gates, you will need:

• Wooden bars 120x80 mm for box;
• Bruks from wood 100x100 mm for ceiling;
• Metal pins for fixing the structure;
• Metal corners 35x35x4 mm for frame manufacturing;
• Metal corners 40x40x4 mm for rail;
• Channel 80x45 mm;
• Spring with an inner diameter of 30 mm;
• Metal rod with a diameter of 8 mm;
• Waters for sash.

This is a set of necessary materials for the manufacture of gates with manual lifting mode. If you wish, you can purchase a drive to automate this process. The list of necessary materials may vary or supplemented. It is difficult to describe everything in detail, with an accuracy of self-built or bolk. After all, each even minor change in the design of the gate will entail a change and this list.

In order to collect and mount the lifting gates for the garage with your own hands, you will need a Bulgarian, drill with drills for metal and wood, welding machine. Other tools will also need, which have each owner: hammer, roulette, screwdriver, wrench, level, pencil.

Stages of construction

The gate from proftrub is made in accordance with the following stages:

• Preparation and collection of frames;
• Installation of rollers;
• Making sash;
• Fastening additional elements.

These stages explain how to make a lifting gate alone. Next, consider each stage in detail.

Making frame

The basis on which the gate will be attached is a frame. It is on it that most of the work of the whole design will be located. From its manufacture and work begins.

The list of necessary materials indicates wooden bars. This is the easiest and most economical option. They can be replaced with a metal structure, which will be a more reliable option. But everyone does the choice itself. It practically does not affect the installation process.

Brokes are going from bars. Metal corners or plates are used for their compound. The bottom plank must be broken into the floor at least 2 cm. This must be taken into account in the assembly process. When the box is twisted (in the case of metal - welded), conduct its control check. It is put in the opening and check the position vertically and horizontally. If the frame is correct, it is fixed with anchors (metal pins) with a length of 30 cm. They are taken at the rate of 1 pin for 1 mongo meter.

After that, horizontal guides are installed, which are under the ceiling.

Installation of rollers

When the frame is installed, you can start the attachment of the brackets for the rollers. To keep the gate not cling, the upper brackets are fixed slightly deeper than the lower. It can be clearly seen in the picture below. For mounting rails use bolts. At this stage it is very important to accurately extinct the level.

At the edges of the rail sets are installed. They will hold rollers, thereby keeping the cloth in the open (closed) position.

Preparation of sash

The shield itself, which will serve as a door of the gate, can be manufactured from various materials. But, since it will ensure the reliability of the garage protection, exposed to external climatic influences, it is better to choose more stable materials. These may be the following options:

• Frame from wooden bars, upholstered with a metal sheet outside;
• Use a solid metal sheet;
• Rama from metal profiles to sew metal.

As the finishing (outer) layer can be anything, even plastic. To protect against frost, the shield can be lined with a layer of insulation.

To do not open the gate from the proftrube every time, in the shield you can make a wicket. Through it, it will be possible to enter (exit) without using the entire design completely. Some garage owners provide in the sash also the window. If necessary, establish it is easy.

When the shield is ready, it is installed on the guides and check the efficiency of the mechanism.

Additional elements

Mounting the gate is completed by installing additional elements. These include handles, locks, shorts for fixing the gate.

The handles are needed to open (close) the gate was more convenient. If they are presented, it is not necessary to cling to the edge of the sash. More convenient if the handles are located below the shield. Moreover, both outside and from the inside.

If the gate is equipped with a wicket, then inside you can make a junk. This is allowed to secure your property. This technique will allow you to open the sash only from the inside. You can resort to the same solution if the garage is attached to the house and the door connects them.

If the garage is separate and no wickets, it is necessary to provide castles. If there is no possibility to buy special, then you can hang ordinary. This makes it with the help of the arms that are attached on the canvas and the outside of the vertical frame.

The manufacture of metal gates with the lifting mechanism is completed by the exterior decoration of the structure. They are treated with protective equipment, paint, fasten finishing materials.

Automation system

Automatic drive can be installed on the garage lifting gates. Prices for the entire design will increase from this. But the level of comfort will increase significantly. It will not be necessary to open (close) the gate manually. Everything can be done using remote control. It is important to choose this type of drive so that your lifting gates for the garage approached it. These prices are in the range of 300-800 euros.

Install the drive will not be particular problems. The instructions indicate the sawing of contacts that will need to follow. An example of bringing difficult, since each manufacturer's connection standards for each manufacturer.

By connecting the automatic opening system, the lifting gate, manufactured and installed on its own, will not differ from the factory. This will give the ability to control remotely, using the control panel.

So, after performing some simple stages, you can get a lifting gate for the garage. In addition to significant savings, it will also have a lot of other advantages. Such a design saves space. The gate does not require a free space before the garage as in the case of a swollen option. They occupy a place under the ceiling, which is not used in other situation. An independent choice of materials for the manufacture of the design will allow you to do everything in accordance with your views and requirements. Supplement device automatic drive will increase the level of convenience when using the gate.

Some secrets protection garage gates from hacking

Even the installation of a good castle may not protect your car and not secure the robbery. After all, you can always cut off the baccake loop and just remove the sash. That was how they did into the stormy nineties. What to do?

1. From the inside of the frame of the flaps in the area of \u200b\u200bthe same loops we weld to the frame of the segment of the corner. It should turn out like this: when closing the sash, the corner will enter 1 - 2 cm into the wall (for this you need to slide a little brick) and cling to the garage frame. Even cutting off the loop, the attackers will not be able to remove the sash, as they will firmly hold onto the garage frame.
2. Install the castle - spider whose pins will be included in the walls, gender and garage ceiling. It is desirable that in addition to the "spider" itself, a fixing mechanism is installed, a locking "spider" in the closed state, while this mechanism is not discharged using a unique key.

Protecting your garage from hacking, the main thing is not to peer so that in the event of a loss of keys was at least some chance to get into the garage without resorting to the end of the walls.

The manufacture of garage gates does with their own hands takes about 1 to 2 days of work. In this case, your product will have unique sizes and design, if you want something special.
