Extending the opening

from 2000 rub/side (metal opening)

from 5000 rub/side (brick opening)

1. After widening the upper part of the opening, be sure to insert a 60x30 corner, preferably on both sides, or a channel. This is necessary so that there is no sagging of the wall because... the distance from the gate frame to the roof becomes smaller.

2. After excavation, we must remove the waste to construction containers.

What you need to know when choosing a garage door!

1. Frame design. Reliable and powerful frame metal gates, the key to long-lasting operation of all elements. Various combinations of thick-walled corners and profile pipes will help protect your gate from distortion and deformation, especially in the spring and autumn.

2 .G arazh loops. For comfortable operation of the hinges, there must be lubricant inside them. all year round, even if the gate was not in use. No dirt should get inside the loop. Otherwise, it can only be removed together with grease.The best option for price-quality ratio is a loop d=36 mm, on a support ball, with an adjusting bolt.

3 . Garage door threshold. The higher it is, the more convenient it is to open and close the doors in winter.

Also, rain and melt water will not get inside the garage. Reliable option- This profile pipe 50x50 mm.

When ordering a garage door without insulation, you need to pay attention to a number of factors:

1. Geometry of the opening. This means that for correct measurement gate, you need to understand the state of your garage door opening now. Shapes come in the form of trapezoid, parallelogram and rectangle. As you yourself understand, the smoother the opening, the smaller the technological gaps. Also with outside opening will not require additional cashing or metal corner, to close gaps.

2. Room ventilation. If the garage is heated or damp, i.e. moisture or condensation constantly accumulates, we recommend using forced ventilation. Installation in gate leaves ventilation grille. There are two types of grilles: closed and open. The only difference is in size.

3. Protection of metal joints and locks. Strengthening is often used due to metal sheet 3 mm thick. But this is not as practical as it seems at first glance. The first is an increase in the weight of the working sashes, i.e. Garage door leaves become heavier and the hinges may sag or the metal may become deformed. Our company has found a way out. We leave the sheet 2 mm thick, but weld a 5 mm thick armor strip along the perimeter of each of the doors. So, the weight of the gate does not increase by much, but in the right places The metal thickness reaches 7 mm. It is also possible more a budget option– this is the use of armor strips only in places where the castle is protected.

Welded garage doors – time-tested quality

Garage doors are the most important element its general design. They must be made of durable material, have a reliable locking system and fit perfectly into the opening. Advantages of welded garage doors: high degree of protection against burglary and intrusion by intruders; Ensuring unhindered entry and exit of the vehicle; High-quality anti-corrosion coating; Durability and at the same time simplicity of design; Long term services; No interference when opening to neighboring buildings.

Garage doors represent perfect ratio quality and price. They are simple, but at the same time they meet all the modern requirements put forward to them. All their elements - frame, hinges, threshold and the canvas itself are made of quality materials using latest technologies in metal processing by welding

Welded metal garage doors with a sophisticated locking system and burglary protection– this is what motorists need for complete anti-theft safety of their steel horses. Features of manufacturing welded garage doors. Depending on the opening mechanism and type of construction, there are the following welded garage doors: swing and sliding. And if sliding door structures are more suitable for those motorists whose garage is located on a protected local area, then standard swing gates suitable for a garage located anywhere, including on the territory of a garage cooperative. Swing garage doors consist of 2 leaves, each of which occupies half of the doorway. They are attached to the doors using hinges and are equipped with a reliable lock and anti-burglary mechanism. For those motorists who prefer to store not only their car, but also their tools in the garage, and also carry out minor repairs there themselves, garage doors with insulation are offered. With such gates, you don’t have to worry about the need to warm up the engine for a long time, even in the most severe frosts. There will always be a positive temperature in the garage. Great importance has the strength and quality of manufacturing of the gate frame and its frame. They are made of durable and high-quality metal that is not subject to corrosion and temporary wear. With such a reliable frame, you don’t have to worry about the gates being skewed; they will serve for a long time and properly. Welded garage doors meet all modern requirements for their quality and functionality. They serve for a long time, due to the simplicity of their design and reliability of their implementation.

The sliding type of gate is quite reliable, but installing it is quite a responsible undertaking, because even the slightest mistakes can lead to big problems. It is better to entrust the calculation of the necessary parameters to professionals. However, this is not at all a prerequisite - anyone can independently calculate sliding gates.

This is enough difficult moment, but everything will be much easier if you know the basic parameters that need to be taken into account. First of all, attention should be paid to the following:

• width;
• height;
• length;
• components and materials.

If you know the values ​​of all these indicators, you can calculate the sliding gates yourself. At the same time, if one of the many additional parameters is unknown, it is better to play it safe. To do this, it is enough to take the necessary components with a reserve.

Materials for sliding gates

Before starting work, it is necessary to carry out all the required calculations. Not last place in the case of , it also takes the calculation of construction materials.

The following details depend on it:

• total weight of the structure;
• selection of components;
• installation process;
• windage;
• dimensions and weight of the counterweight.

In most cases, either corrugated sheeting or steel 2 mm thick is used. The weight of these materials is noticeably different. In the first case it is 4 kg/sq.m., in the second – 17 kg/sq.m. Accordingly, all further calculations will differ. When choosing, you should choose those that are designed to weigh one and a half times the weight general design, which will ensure ease of operation and durability.

Width and requirements for it

This indicator of sliding gates depends on such a parameter as the width of the opening. For example, if the gate is designed for an opening of 4 meters, then a leaf 4 m long + 200 mm will be required. It is they who will ultimately cover the gaps on both sides. It is also necessary to add 200 mm in the case of other sizes.

Respectively, optimal width sliding gates should not differ much from the width of the opening, which they are supposed to cover.

The foundation is an important part of sliding gates

The foundation deserves special attention. For example, the foundation for a sliding gate 4 meters long must withstand the load not only of the structure, but also possible influence other factors. One of them will be additional load from wind or other conditions.

The cost of the foundation often reaches 30-40% of the entire work estimate, but it will largely ensure the stability of the structure.

Required size of rollers and pipes

Installation of such products is a rather labor-intensive process with the need to calculate many indicators. One of them is the size of the pipes for sliding gates. Using the example of a gate with a leaf width of 4 meters and a height of 2 meters, a pipe of 60*70 mm for the main frame and 40*20 mm for internal fastening is sufficient. This will be enough to withstand the loads of a large gate, however, as the size and weight increase, it is necessary to increase the size of the pipes.

Another important indicator is the size of the rollers for sliding gates. In the situation presented above, you can use both polymer and metal rollers with a guide with a length of 6 meters and a applied cross-section of 60*70 mm. Since the weight of such a structure, covered with corrugated board, will be less than 400 kg, such a set will be sufficient to perform the functions.

Beams and product height

The dimensions of the sliding gate beam depend on the length of the gate. To this indicator it is necessary to add 1.5 lengths of the product. This size will be sufficient to perform all necessary automatic actions and for the stability of the structure. When choosing all the details of a sliding gate, you must focus, first of all, on the dimensions of the opening. It is this indicator that will subsequently influence many parameters and the final result of the work.

When choosing sliding gates, the height of the finished product is also of particular importance. Usually this is approximately 2-2.5 m. This is quite enough to complete the task - protection from the outside world. Greater height will only bring additional weight and increase the sailing effect, which in turn will create additional stress on the remaining parts of the structure. The height of sliding gates from the ground depends on several factors.

Among them it is worth highlighting the following:

• dimensions of component parts;
• terrain features;
• correct installation of all parts.

The main thing is to take into account every nuance, even the smallest one - an error of a few centimeters can lead to incorrect operation of the entire mechanism.

Length and weight of different designs, counterweight

There is one simple way to calculate the optimal length of a product. Based on it, the length of sliding gates should be calculated as follows: gate length + 200 mm + 1.6 opening lengths - this is exactly the manufacturer’s recommendation. This will be needed to create a sufficient counterweight.

The weight of the finished structure deserves special attention. The weight of a 6-meter sliding gate usually fluctuates around 600 kg. It all depends on the materials used for cladding. At the same time, the weight of a 5 meter sliding gate will be approximately 500-550 kg. Accordingly, all required parts should be calculated to weigh at least 600-650 kg. The minimum weight of a 4 meter sliding gate will be 300-400 kg. In this case, the weight will not have any special differences.

Should I buy it with installation or do it myself?

If you have certain knowledge, you can make sliding gates with your own hands from scrap materials. Everything you need for this can be found at your nearest hardware store, and many structural elements can even be at home. It is enough to know what material is needed for sliding gates and a little skill, after which the result will not be long in coming. However, it is better to entrust the entire process to specialists.

An iron garage is an inexpensive and fairly reliable shelter for a car. It will solve many pressing problems: it will hide the car from bad weather or the hot sun, accidental damage and prying eyes; you can carry out simple car repairs, diagnostics or other preventative work in it.

Usually, few people think about the weight of a building, but sometimes a situation arises when a car owner needs to know the weight of a metal garage, so in this article we will talk about the types of metal garages and provide calculations for buildings made of different facing materials.

Types of metal garages

Garages with a frame made of steel structures(see), are considered metal, although they can be sheathed with various materials.

They are divided into two types:

1. All-welded structures are mounted from sheet steel and all elements are connected by welding. Such a garage cannot be disassembled and can only be transported in assembled form. can be installed anywhere, it is particularly reliable against penetration and has strong connections.
2. have bolted or anchored connections of parts, the structure can be disassembled and transported in a compact form. It is recommended to install this type on the territory of a personal plot or in a country house, not far from the house, so that there is supervision, since it has poor protection against burglary.

Important! In turn, prefabricated structures can have different cladding, and this also determines how much an iron garage weighs.

The following materials are used for lining the walls of the structure:

• Sheet steel.
• Profiled sheet.
• Sandwich panels (see).
• OSB boards.
• Metal profile.

All these materials have different weight, therefore, when determining the mass of the garage as a whole, this must be taken into account.

How to calculate the weight of a garage

Data on the weight of the transported structure may be needed in the following cases:

• When purchasing a garage and having it delivered to permanent place. If the building was purchased from a manufacturer, then the seller provides data on the weight of the order, but when the garage is purchased second-hand, then in this case the weight is often calculated by the buyer.
• When transporting a garage to a new location (owner moving, sale, garage for demolition, etc.). If the structure was built with your own hands, the owner may not know its true weight.

For a sample, we will calculate the weight of a metal garage 3 x 6 x 2 m2 (width x length x height) of the all-welded type, in which the lining is sheet steel 4 mm thick. This is the minimum standard size, which will fit almost any passenger car, well, except perhaps for minibuses.

So:

1. We calculate the area of ​​​​all surfaces of the garage:

• Side walls: 2m x 6m x 2pcs = 24 m2.
• Gable roof including canopies: 2m x 1.9m x 6.2m x 2pcs = 47 m2.
• Rear, end wall and gates: 3m x 2m x 2pcs = 12 m2.
• Two triangular pediments, the approximate area of ​​which is 4 m2.
• Floor (if any): 3m x 6m = 18 m2.

1. Adds all the results obtained: 24 + 47 + 12 + 4 + 18 = 105 m2.

1. For the walls we used sheet steel 4 mm thick; according to the table according to GOST, 1 m2 of such steel weighs 31.4 kg. We multiply the mass by the area: 105 m2 x 31.4 kg = 3297 kg.
2. We got the weight sheet iron, used for sheathing a garage. But that is not all! Now you need to add here the mass of the gate frame and the garage itself; it is usually made from a large equal-flange angle.

Let’s not make detailed calculations now; accuracy is not particularly needed here. Let's take an approximate average value, according to some sources it is 1000 kg.

Important! If we add up all the obtained values, we will see that the weight of a metal garage, all-welded, with sheathing made of sheet metal 4 mm thick equals 4297 kg.

Weight table for other materials

As mentioned above, garage cladding can be made not only from sheet metal. To correctly calculate the mass of the garage, you need to know their weight. In the table below we indicate these parameters for some of the materials most commonly found in garage decoration.

The weight of sandwich panels depends on the thickness of the insulation, and the metal profiles and corrugated sheets depend on the thickness of the metal. If you are in doubt about the right certain parameters sheathing, then to be on the safe side it is recommended to take the maximum value.

Important! The choice of vehicle and the safety of transporting the structure depend on how accurately the weight of the garage is calculated.

Conclusion

We calculated how much it weighs metal garage 3 x 6 m, if the dimensions of the garage are different, then the mass of the building can be derived using the same system, replacing some data.

Typically weight iron garages varies from 3 to 7 tons, but if the first structure can be transported on a “thief”, then for the second you will have to order heavy-duty equipment and a truck crane. In addition, instructions for the transportation of large cargo require obtaining permits for the transportation of the garage, as well as escorting the cargo to its destination. All this is quite troublesome and costly, so it is better to immediately determine the mass of the structure as accurately as possible.

It must be said that after dismantling, prefabricated structures are assembled into compact packs that can be transported on an on-board gazelle. After looking at the thematic photos and videos in this article, you yourself will be able to cope with this task and accurately determine the weight of your garage.

A fence of any type and design should always have a wicket and entrance gates, most often swing or sliding gates, allowing passage for cars or even truck to the site. Today, metal swing gates are most often used for private properties. Less commonly, light recoil ones. The larger the fenced area, the taller and more serious the building, the more monumental the fence, the higher the gate, the more metal is used to make the frame and supports, ensuring the stability and strength of the structure. It is not surprising that instead of cast iron and welded profiles, modern swing gate structures are increasingly using aluminum and forged rods.

Which gate is better

Today the manufacturer strives to make gates for private properties:

• Maximum strength and rigidity, ensuring the resistance of the protective fence to breaking and entering into private territory;
• Heavy enough so that the weight of the gate and inertia make it possible to withstand wind breakthroughs, and at the same time light so that the installation and operation of swing metal gates does not require the use of huge massive pillars and supports;
• Beautiful and graceful. Old as the world, swing gates can look hundreds of times more attractive than the monotonous and boring design of metal sliding, lifting or sectional entrances.

For your information! A system of two doors on vertical hinges has one important advantage— the rotary unit on canopies has twice the service life and reliability of the mechanism than similar “flat” structures. The standard service life, determined by GOST for all types of swing metal gates, is 20 thousand opening and closing cycles.

In reality, for high-quality metal swing gates these values ​​can easily be exceeded by 50-70%.

GOST No. 31174-2003 summarizes and describes all the main types of metal gates. In addition to swing and sliding systems, nine more options can be used to “lock” the passage, from sectional to folding. But in structures for fencing areas, such devices are used quite rarely, since their use requires the installation of special technological arches and niches for cleaning the door leaf or panels. In rare cases, roller shutter systems can be used to lock and block the passage, but in this case, installation will require converting the open base of the gate into a closed structure with the installation of a technological arch or transverse beam above the passage.

To open the heaviest metal systems with swing doors without the use of an electromechanical drive, the effort of just one person is sufficient, while opening or moving sliding structures without the use of a standard electric drive is much more difficult.

Standards and technical specifications for swing metal systems

To ensure reliable locking and blocking of the passage, it is necessary to install it with a massive frame or pillars, and most importantly - with big amount steel load-bearing elements ensuring the strength of the main frame. This leads to an increased weight of metal swing gates and huge load on the frame and hinges, first of all.

To avoid breakage of the suspension, sagging of the sashes or an emergency situation during strong gusts of wind, GOST established the requirement that all mechanisms and components of swing doors metal structures must only be manufactured according to project documentation and strength calculations of the manufacturer:

1. Hinges, awnings, internal frame, the frame of swing metal gates must provide the necessary double safety margin, while the quality technical solutions, embedded in the design, must be confirmed by certificates of conformity from the standardization center and a sanitary and hygienic conclusion of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision for the product;
2. The quality of manufacture of metal swing gates is checked for the absence of metal surface defects visible to the naked eye, and compliance of welds with strength and continuity standards. The difference in the height or width of gates of opposite posts should not exceed 5 mm, the difference in diagonals of metal doors up to 2 m in size should be within 3 mm, for large openings - 5 mm;
3. Paint and varnish coating with primer - not less than 0.03 mm, while protective covering should not cause allergic reactions upon contact with the palms of the hands.

For your information! In addition to the above list, GOST requires checking the quality of seals, condition and performance of locking mechanisms and hinges.

The resistance of swing metal structures to shock loads from wind is tested by dropping the folds assembled on the frame under their own weight onto a non-destructible object. Based on the results of the tests, the manufacturer issues a passport and applies markings in accordance with GOST. The encoding indicates the VM model - metal gate, GOST number, product dimensions.

Features of metal gates with swing doors

Each gate design has its drawbacks, and systems with swinging halves also have them. Using the principle of drop-down metal halves is very convenient for small openings of 2-2.5 m.

In the standard version of small driveways, the design of the entrance gate is assembled similarly to the design of metal garage doors. In this case, hinges are welded onto steel vertical posts made of a channel or I-beam and shutters made of sheet metal 3-5 mm thick are hung. Due to the fact that the structure of the shutters is heavy, and there is no upper horizontal beam, as in metal garage doors, there is a risk of the pillars skewing and the shutters lowering. Rigidity problems can only be solved by installing very powerful support pillars, steel, brick or reinforced concrete.

The wider the passage, the more the gate leaf will weigh, which means it is more difficult to ensure a stable position and the absence of sagging of heavy leaves due to wear and bending of the hinges. In addition, the area of ​​the gate structure increases, which means the windage and horizontal load from gusts of wind increases .

Therefore, for passages more than three meters wide, special structures are used:

1. Forged swing gates. Very beautiful and expensive designs made of forged rods with an individual style and artistic forging pattern;
2. Frame systems made of profiled sheets and tubular frames. Lightweight and inexpensive, easy to make with your own hands;
3. The doors are made in the form of two frames from a metal tubular profile with struts and spacers. The front surface is sewn up with profiled sheets or panels.
4. Swing aluminum gates. They have high rigidity and moderate weight of the structure; unlike the forged version, aluminum gates are always of the same type, differing only in the elements of the front surface cladding and the drive system.

Important! The safest option was to purchase metal swing gates from a specialized company or organization that supplies finished products. Thus, most errors associated with incorrect calculation and manufacture of basic elements, for example, installation of hinges on the frame and alignment, can be avoided load-bearing frame according to the horizon level.

Practical swing gate designs

Each of the above options essentially reflects modern look on the main functions of the gate. Option one - protective decorative functions, characteristic of forged steel structures. The second is a quick-acting and lightweight version of aluminum swing gates, the third is reliable and convenient, inherent in steel gates made of profiled sheets.

Forged swing gates

They are best suited for protecting access to a private property. The forged steel frame of the doors is capable of withstanding the most severe load, significantly exceeding the standard 200 kg, defined by GOST as a base value. In the most expensive beautiful options All parts of the doors are forged, from the outer frame to the internal lintels and decorative details. In cheaper metal versions basic power elements, the frame of the sashes and lintels are welded from ordinary pipes; forged parts only complement the appearance.

Forged sash frames are hung on hinges to the embedded elements brick pillars. The lower part is covered with a cladding made of thin sheet metal, the upper part of the doors can be completely open or have decorative inserts made of darkened polycarbonate.

Forged gates are much more difficult to manufacture than conventional frame gates due to the large number of welded parts. To reduce the influence of thermal stresses and obtain a standard two-millimeter gap between the leaf and the stationary frame, metal gates are welded in the form of one leaf, hinges are welded and hung on poles, and only after that they are cut into two leaves.

Aluminum swing gates

The second style is a modern business style, in which the doors open and close quickly and clearly, as much as possible using modern drive mechanisms. For example, the stopping power of aluminum swing gate leaves is not considered by the manufacturer as the main property; fast and flawless operation of the device is much more important. Most often, service parking lots and controlled areas of companies and firms are equipped with aluminum frame swing and sliding structures. In addition to automatic swing panels, the entry mode is controlled by a security guard.

The gate is a classic example of a swing system. The structure is made by argon welding of a profile with a cross-section of 96x177 mm from high-purity aluminum. Each sash is suspended on a concrete pillar using triple hinges with an increased size of the supporting surface. Internal diagonal braces made of cables and a support “patch”, which serves as a support and limiter of movement, help to compensate for possible deformation.

The manufacturer of swing gates claims a device life of 25-28 thousand operations, with a guarantee against corrosion for 15 years. The door leaf is made in the form of cladding made of aluminum profile or sandwich panels. The cost of the structure greatly depends on the width, for example, a 2000x3500 mm gate of the ADS400 system will cost just over 50 thousand rubles, a 2300x3500 mm door is estimated at 75-77 thousand rubles, and 2300x5000 mm - all 90 thousand rubles.

Steel frame schemes

Frame metal doors made of pipes and profiled sheets can be called the most modern and practical option. Firstly, it is quite possible to assemble such a structure with your own hands. Secondly, steel frame made from a pipe is only slightly inferior in strength forged gates. Thirdly, such metal gate systems will cost much less than aluminum and, especially, forged ones.

The external cladding can be quite simply selected from a huge number of colors of profiled sheets. At the heart of construction frame options The same technology is used as when constructing a fence. The average weight of two leaves of a three-meter gate will not exceed 300 kg.

Conclusion

When choosing the sizes of swing metal gate structures, experts recommend being guided by the principle of sufficiency and expediency. For an area fenced with a metal profile fence or modular sections, a metal swing scheme made of aluminum or steel profile is perfect. For a stone fence best choice There will definitely be a forged scheme. Thus, the style and durability of the gate will correspond to the material and structure of the fence.
