Beautiful and reliable wicket gates. Personal experience.

Since ancient times, people tried to protect their places of habitat. Water-filled moats and tall stone walls were designed to protect against enemy tribes and wild animals. And over time, the fences were worn and purely decorative. For example, in medieval Europe, it became popular quiet internal gardens and spectacularly framed their hedges, which are sometimes evolved into intricate mazes.

Which to choose a fence to enclose the site today? Wooden fence or major stone fence? Popular designs of profiled sheet or lightweight plastic fence? It is a matter of taste and financial possibilities of landowners. But which of the options would not have been selected as a result, there are a few details that combine absolute majority of all the fences. Namely - Gates. On the secrets of their devices, and we will talk in this material.

With a merchant scale

"Prrr... Stop! "- cries the coachman, and the cart stops at the carved wooden gates of the estate manager. Gorbushkin store. This episode of the film "Do not be," the crew of Leonid Gaidai filmed in Astrakhan, on the street Jean Jaures, in the comedy became Hare Lane. A similar wooden gate and still preserved in many Russian cities - in the XIX century, they decorated the entrances to the estate of wealthy burghers and merchants.

Member FORUMHOUSE tol4ev to the establishment of timber doors and wicket also came up with merchant thoroughly. The design, which he made with his own hands, beautiful, strong and nizkobyudzhetna- perfect combination. A feature of the gate, ensuring their durability, steel structure supporting pillars: they are divided into two parts - the underground and ground, and place the air-ground transition is made of one or two metal pins.

tol4ev (participant FORUMHOUSE):

I love working with wood, but to change the poles every 5-10 years was not ready. My gate is literally suspended in the air and have no contact with the soil. Therefore, the design life of my gate, provided timely service - 50 years.

The width of the wooden gate - 0.75 meters, the gate - 3.3 meters. To create an iron frame forumchanin used old tube water heating, which he cut into pieces of 1.1 m and a length welded to each corner 5x5 cm to 65 cm so that the tube can be completely concreted into the pit (pit 50x50 cm, 1 m depth, concrete ground level exceeds 10 cm). Then tol4ev welded tubes to each other 4 pieces so that angles formed a square of side 150 mm.

After the pipes were embedded in concrete, forumchanin started mounting pillars pine timber 150x150 mm.

tol4ev (participant FORUMHOUSE):

Timber inserted into a square formed by the corners. He exhibited vertically drilled and through two openings in each. The holes inserted galvanized stud M10 on both sides of the puck through welling nut and pulling off. Excess length cut pins grinder after fixation. As the drying of wood is enough to tighten the nut with two keys.

The next stages of the manufacture of doors and kalitkibolee or less standard: assembled and fixed mounted on poles metal fittings for gates, made of beams 50x100 mm made frames, they are fixed locking elements to lock and oak bolts. frame trim tol4ev made of planed boards-dyuymovka. An important structural element: roof, protecting wooden poles from excessive moisture, crowned merchant gateway.

Sliding doors in the home

Traditional hinged doors - not the best option for narrow streets and areas with difficult terrain. And located near power lines poles can become a hindrance to the opening. All these reasons prompted FORUMHOUSE Member hart77 to create sliding doors with their hands. Judging by the reviews left by other forum users in the thread, a simpler and more cheap version of the sliding gate is difficult to imagine.

For the gate device hart77 I bought bearing and inserted it into a tension roller. Iron fingers welded to drilling poles and put on them a roller bearing interposed, a pressing ring of the bearing sleeve and screwed bolts.

hart77 (participant FORUMHOUSE):

Handle weld did not, even though it was necessary. A open by pulling on the vertical tube, the upper stopper pin is opening, it abuts against the roller. The greatest advantage of the gate with strong wind resistance - a rigid mount at six points in the closed position and in four points - votkrytom. In addition, these gates are opened in the winter, even if covered with snow.

Frame your sliding gate forumchanin hart77 Sheathed steel sheets, but can use any other materials such as wood or plastic, if desired.

But party FORUMHOUSE tatar76 I decided not to make a simple sliding doors, and provided them with an electric drive. Set for constructing forumchanin collect himself: he bought rollers, plugs, 8-meter feed beam, electric, chains, four sensors (two for installation outside the gates and two - inside) stands for the internal sensor, a signal lamp antenna. All electrical wiring to connect to has been previously laid kabelkanalah at the stage of foundation fill.

tatar76 (participant FORUMHOUSE):

The base took a feed beam. The outer U-shaped frame - profile 80 * 40 (bought pieces 2 to 6 meters), the inner filling - profile 60 * 40 (purchased 6 pieces). The return pole is welded from two profile pieces of 120 * 120.

Detail about how tatar76 installed on the gate electric drive, read Related forumchanin. To provide not only the electric drive can be sliding, but also swing gates.

Sim-Sim, open up!

Technology does not stand still, and gates with electric drive today is no surprise. With the development of systems of "smart house", and mobile applications to manage Gates (as well as the entire energy system of the house, running water, etc.) is possible directly from the smartphone screen.

 Picking at the cottage in the garden, occasionally encounter a problem: want to go to the neighbors, and opening the gate stick away and go to the gate lazily. But the phone is always with him, and he in the coverage area of ​​wi-fi. Whether there is a simple solution that would open the gates from your smartphone?

To control your phone with the gates have to spend on special devices. One solution - installation of GSM-controller for controlling the automation. In this case, the automatic control can be by means of free calls to the number, the SIM card installed in the device. When you call the controller checks if the caller's number in the database, and if the access is allowed, the relay opens and opens the gate.

Another option - installation of wi-fi socket.

asuses (User FORUMHOUSE):

Put it in the drive to it - the relay with control coil at 220V. Your phone or tablet with the downloaded software from the manufacturer, which can be used to open / close the gate.

A similar principle of gate control through wi-fi use specially created for educational purposes, many of which today is represented in the market. Remote control sensors are connected to your home wi-fi-router, and homeowners can open the door with your phone or tablet, even when you are in another part of the world.
