Gates are an integral part of the site area. Fences are able to limit the passage of people and the passage of the car, the owners of the site can control the movement on their territory.

Today, there is a huge selection of materials and components for the fencing of the territory, which are even supplied with an automatic system. The simplest and most convenient, reliable and practical in this regard are sliding doors. Sliding gates are a simple design that is equipped with an electric drive.

Such structures are actively used in industrial enterprises, as well as in the private sector, where the space around the gate is limited. Various colors and shapes of the shield, as well as additional accessories to the gate, will create an attractive appearance of the site.

Design features sliding doors

The design of the gate is simple and has the following items:

• shield;
• frame in the foundation;
• guides and rollers;
• electric drive.

the main feature sliding (retractable) gate is enclosed in the title. The rollback to the side, thanks to a simple design, has existed for a long time, however recently this kind of gate has become increasingly popular.

Sliding doors are presented in the form of a rectangular frame sheathed with sandwich panels, the profile of which consists of aluminum or galvanized steel. Pre-profile treated with a special protective agent that is resistant to corrosion.

Power frame - it is a supporting structure that is made of metal and then concreted.

Guides are installed in the upper part of the frame, and traps (lower and upper) are installed in the opposite side.

Videos located at the same distance and in two places of construction.

The movement mechanism is represented by an electric drive, which can be controlled using a stationary button or remote control. Since the mechanism is automatic, it greatly facilitates the opening and closing of the gate to the driver in bad weather.

There are three sliding gates species:

• suspended;
• cantilever;
• rail.

Suspended Gates are most often used in industrial plants. In size they are huge, and the installation of the gate is very expensive. But to break such a gate is impossible. Negative factors do not affect the appearance of the material.

Cantilever the design is considered the best both in the domestic and global markets. The device is silent, you do not need a ready opening, easy installation. Only this model has many details: frame, rollers, guide rails, cantilever blocks, supporting bracket.

rail Mechanical gates do not require much space, are very convenient and easy to operate. The canvas on wheels is mounted on a rail, which is laid on the ground. Mechanical effects do not affect the appearance.

Advantages and disadvantages of sliding gates

Main merits всех species данной конструкции, в отличие от других типов, принято считать:

• almost silent and smooth running;
• in winter you can not clear the snow in the doorway;
• high service life;
• manual control;
• reliability and simplicity;
• resistance to negative phenomena of nature.

disadvantages sliding gates:

• pillars and gates must be concreted;
• the rollback requires free space in order not to close the gate;
• follow the roller system (it should always be cleared of snow and leaves).

Installation of sliding doors with their own hands

To install the sliding gate you will need the following instruments: shovel, welding machine, scrap, tape measure, level, hammer, drill with drills for metal and Bulgarian.

Door leaf is installed along the fence. The place of haulage should be determined in advance; a design drawing will help you. In the construction market or in specialized stores for construction you can buy all the necessary materials. After the purchase, you can proceed to installation, which consists of several stages.

1. Manufacturing and installation of pillars. You can use concrete pillars, metal pipe or wooden beams. For strength, they should be concreted. Depth must exceed 1 meter.
2. Foundation Arrange along the fence and concreted. To this end, we dig a trench about 1 meter deep, no more than 0.5 meter wide. The length should be half the size of the opening.
3. Manufacturing metal parts of the gate. Required metal channel with a width of about 15−20 cm. Its length should be equal to the length of the foundation. Then metal legs with a diameter of 13 mm are welded to the channel bar. After that, the metal part is laid in the trench with its legs down and concreted. Wait until the concrete is completely dry. During this time, you can make sliding doors.
4. Welding and coloring shield. First, you need to remove the grinder of metal pipes and rails corrosion and oil stains, and then degreased with gasoline or other special means. Further anticorrosive primer is applied and left for a while to dry. After this we boil the frame. For this purpose six meter taken guide rail, which is cut down and welded thereto profiled tube size 60 × 30 × 2 mm.
5. Then vertical pipes are installed and welded to this pipe. racks, the same size. Previously they need to be measured with a square. The outer frame of the gate is ready. The final touch is to weld the internal 40 × 20 × 2 pipe. Grind the seams grinder and apply a primer on the finished fabric.
6. Canvas itself can paint brush or special spray gun (if you know how to use it). When the paint is dry, you should carry out the firmware with a tree, metal sheet or plastic.
7. Mounting mechanism. Roller system set on the channel. It is fixed with a side part and a guide rail is placed on roller carts. Then the cloth needs to be put along a fence and welded. Gate catchers and movable rollers are fixed on the bearing pillars. You can fasten with welding, dowels or clamps.

The gate is controlled by automatics. If you do it yourself, it will be much cheaper than purchased automation. This is a rather painstaking job that requires a lot of effort. You need to purchase an electric motor, it should be located on a special rack.

Homemade sliding doors will cost you about 400−500 cu, depending on the material and quality of components.

Возможные mistakes при установке сдвижных ворот

If you install the gate yourself, you can allow some errors. The most common mistakes при монтаже sliding gates:

• Improper preparation of the base.
• Bad or incorrectly mounted components.
• Incorrectly selected weight of the gate under the carrier beam. For this reason, the gate may sag.
• If the gate started скритоть, this indicates that there is sand in the bearings that needs to be removed, or during installation the distance between the supports was less than the norm.
• If there are smudges at the welding sites, then this indicates a wrong technology for painting the web. The surface should be degreased, cleaned and primed, only then proceed to painting.
• In order for the pillars not to twist to one side and not to swell, one should take into account the depth of soil freezing and the mass of the foundation. He must be several times more load itself.

Installation of sliding works is simple, so if you follow all the recommendations and rules, you can easily install them yourself.
