How to make a sliding gate. A selection of proven solutions

Interesting and innovative designs of sliding gates, embodied in the life of the participants of our forum

The owners of suburban areas are increasingly choosing sliding doors - they are versatile, they can be made where you will not make swing and "Finally, it's just beautiful." We've put together five successful designs that our users have made with their own hands, and told about the important details, which does not know the most samostroyschikov.

Sliding doors: the important life hacking

Member FORUMHOUSE c nickname dron3831 a long time professionally engaged in the installation of the gate. Over the years he has learned some important nuances unknown to ordinary samostroyschikam. All this invaluable experience he used during the construction of the gate. It's a solid project, and such a decision can not be called the budget, but it displays the sliding door to the next level.

Save master currently allowed in only one stage operation when installed poles profile 100 × 100 × 3 mm.

Drilled holes 1-1.5 m depth, to the end of post 12 is welded reinforcement 4 mm column itself lowered into the pit 40 centimeters, was further reinforcement. This is the case when you can save without harm. Poured concrete.

For wicket he welded frame from the same profile of 100 × 100 × 3 mm, with the two webs, the pit dug 1 × 0.5 × 1.5 m and concreted back frame (webs were below ground level).

In the future, it will save you from our "celebrations" poles and problems in the surface-electromechanical lock.

The gate welded from profile 60 × 40 mm. You could do 30 mm and 40 mm at the site easier to mount a flexible transition to the castle. Wire hidden in the central profile, and extends into the lock through a drilled in the rear wall of the hole. The castle is made visor: it is really a necessary thing. In the castle, at the bottom, drill four holes - they are leaking rainwater.

Gates, like a fence and gate, lined with pine boards with rounded edges. Because of this they look solid and beautiful.

Do not skimp on coverage. We painted the neighbor's cheap stuff, in a single layer, already peeling off, while at the same time made to me.

Master warns all in vain throughout the Leaky profile to attach a board. This is a terrible mistake! The water will get into the profile, screws will rust and tear due to the swollen wood.

The right decision - the plates, which are secured by a grouse prozhiliny and have them nailed trim boards. And you should always choose a twisted galvanized nails - they are a little more expensive than usual, but they will not drip.

Gates with Italian recoil system using a standard 6 meter beam, the aperture length - 4 m.

Do not skimp on the size of the "tail", at least according to the calculations, and it turns out sometimes 30-40% of the aperture, do not less than 50%. The more, the easier it is to ride the gate. In winter it is especially manifest.

The wizard also strongly advised to save on a foundation: it is a bad savings that you can think of. It is poured monolith 2.3 × 0.6 × 1.5 m.

These gates custom frame: all make the profile 60 * 40, and here to hide the board in the frame, had to make 80 * 40.

The posts are installed two boards with rollers - is also unusual. But if you can, it is better to make two, so the gate will swing less.

The weak point of sliding gates - the gap between the frame and the beam. In this time slot is going to water and she always rust. Therefore, it is rare to find a sliding door with no rust stains. How to solve the problem: patch up this gap with sealant before painting.

Another point that many neglect: the far end of the beam has to be closed, for example, welded plate. So winter beam attains the snow, and in summer - debris and dust. All this - in the treasury work seamlessly sliding gates.

Last gating life hacking, which divided our user: protection of cable water-supply pipes. It is cheap and easy, but effectively protects the wiring from damage.

Sliding doors with their hands: drawings and instructions

This decision led to the delight of many: a triumph of engineering! Gates are great for many years, open in any weather, and do not require constant cleaning of the ice and snow.

Construction invented our user with the nickname hart77. Opening gates at his country house to put it was impossible because of the difficult terrain, narrow streets and unsuccessfully standing column. Therefore, this scheme was invented sliding gate

Bought on the bearing was made drawing from Turner vytochili details. The bearing is inserted into vnatyag roller.

The finger is welded to the drill poles.

hart77

On welded fingers put on the roller with an inserted bearing bushing, the pressing inner bearing ring and fasten all bolts.

Gates are rigidly fixed (closed at six points in the open - in four) and are easy to open-close in the snow and ice.

hart77 He says he saw a similar design, which is already 30 years old. It was rusty, but not at all tired.

"Inverted" sliding doors with their hands

The main drawback of the classic sliding gates that movable cantilever beam is low. Wind causes in the dust and sand, and in the winter in the cavity of the guide snow fall and ice, leading to malfunction and failure.

Member of our portal with the nickname max68.2011Perhaps the first turned the idea of ​​sliding gates (as are the gates), hanging beam fixed to the top of the fence by attaching the top of the carriage movable gates and received seemingly normal, but inverted recoiling goal.

I try to make something of their own.

Exploitation this design It identified two free benefits:

• One carriage weighs only upwards, the other - just down, therefore, required bearings half;
• at the time of passing through the center of gravity of the gate fixed carriage are not transshipped.

Let us consider the form factor the gate:

• base under standard cantilevered sliding gate: aperture of 4.01 m, a channel length of 2.20 20 m, 1.7m penetration.
• First, the receiving pole - 80h40h2 mm tube in a narrow edge fence plane; wide - in the opening goal.
• Second, the main bearing pillar, is made of two such tubes.
• The third pillar is the same as the first.
• Fourth - a pipe P 76.

max68.2011

Two bogeys, one main carrier (closest to the doorway), running all the way down. Second, distant from the aperture - only works up so that no perevalivaniya gate with one carriage to the other will not.

Optimized inverted gate

Member FORUMHOUSE c nickname Modul"How old industrialist" He developed the idea of ​​inverted sliding gates and optimized components.

Gates served for two winters, in the holiday season were operated daily in winter a couple of times a week. And now, as they say in the ads, perfect condition.

According to the results of operation, the following design advantages have been identified with the upper beam:

• Everything is always clean and dry, so after-sales service is required much less often;
• Such gates are longer;
• Eliminating the need for a strong foundation for roller bearings.

Modul

Rigidly fixed rail distributes the load between the posts of the fence which, in any case, should be established reliably. To drive foundation enough pairs of screw or bored piles. Alternatively, one can use an additional or an existing fence post, prikronshteyniv thereto pad.

• Eliminating the need for cumbersome adjustment and roller platforms that are constantly rust;
• The door leaf weighs less;
• It does not have to solve the problem of the connection of the guide beam and the frame of the door leaf;
• Instead, the slot of the beam, which is stuffed all the way to the snow - ski smooth.

Modul

With this set of arguments itchy question: why is it so no one else does? On mass production do not have to talk.

Convenient sliding doors with their hands

Sliding doors, made with his own hands, he had a dream of members of our portal with the nickname ani1883And there he realized it.

ani1883

Although I know very physics of the process, but still get excited by "independent" movements of all sorts of mechanical devices. Well, just a devil of some sort, I say to myself and very happy.

Classic gates have been made on the advice and recommendations of the profile branches FORUMHOUSE. The whole process is clearly visible on photos. Now our user sometimes ask whether he regrets that he started such an expensive and complex project - no, no regrets. This is a very nice and comfortable, and what a pleasure to create the most complex things that work well and can only be the same creator.

Useful tips, schemes, instructions and drawings for the manufacture of sliding gates can be found on the profile branch FORUMHOUSE. These gates will be an excellent complement to beautiful fence. Self-made sliding doors for easy operation can be fully automated. Watch our video on how to build budget fenceThat looks expensive.
