A simple carriage for sliding gates with their hands

Probably everyone who has a summer cottage or a private house, came the idea of sliding gates. With more confidence I can say that those who are sliding doors, they are factory, and that if they make their own hands?

Probably very few people tried to make their their own handsBecause the most difficult thing in the sliding gate - this is the carriage which must move through the profiled pipe. (How does this work will show at the end)

**Carriage for sliding gates made with their own hands**

Perhaps you have already guessed that this is a review on the carriage for sliding gates with their hands. Proceed?

Idea

Grade 5 of 5

The idea to make a mobile structure for sliding gates, quite interesting, as we wrote above. Since this is a very difficult part of it.

If you cook a frame made of profile pipes can almost every master, to sheathe the frame too, but to make the carriage can not everyone. So the idea of the author deserves the maximum score!

The carriage itself is not quite trivial part, since to perform it their own hands pretty hard. In the process of creating, you may have many problems ranging from snagging carriage, finishing its warp.

Creating holes and drank at the corners of the blank with your own hands

The author creates carriage of sheet metal 5.4 mm thick. Cuts of sheet rectangle the corners of which drills holes. The author then inserts the bolts that serve as axles and secures them for sliding bearings.

The design is definitely worthy of praise, the author was able to minimize the necessary materials to build it, and keep what is most important functionality.

From myself I would like to add that this carriage with these bearings can not withstand the load sliding gate length, which, as a rule, is 6-8 meters. I advise enhance its optional and stronger bearings when using this construction, and leave the same principle.

The maximum number of points, unfortunately, I can not deliver, I will bring the necessary improvements design in my opinion.

Evaluation 3 of 5

Evaluation design probably is not quite appropriate, as a rule in the carriage mechanism of the sliding gate is often hidden.

However, in place of the author, I would have this mechanism necessarily covered the painting, to prevent the formation of rust.

For the rest, it seems to me turned out pretty cute invention with his own hands.

During the search analogues, found the name of such a mechanism as carrying trolley or carriage for gates. The cost of the plant machinery is from about 6 to 8 thousand. rub. under load 1200 - 1300 kg.

As the author shows us how many times cheaper to make such a mechanism, in this section, it gets 5 out of 5 points.

Rank 16 out of 20 points

According to the results of our review mechanism (carriage, carriage, stroller) gaining 16 out of 20 points for sliding gates with their hands, which is very rightly, as this hack is well worth a repeat at home by our readers, but keep in mind the load capacity at creation.
