Every summer resident tries to make his plot well-groomed and comfortable for relaxation. The easiest way to “revive” and distinguish your dacha from other gardens is to equip beautiful gate. It is the entrance composition that attracts attention in the first place and creates an impression of the site as a whole. Few people will be surprised by similar factory designs, and experienced summer residents prefer to design and equip the entrance complex with their own hands.
Let's look at the features of various gates, and also provide detailed instructions for planning and assembling fences made of wood and metal.
What should a country gate look like?
There are no clear requirements and standards for the placement and dimensions of the gate. When designing, it is important to take into account the purpose of the door, the presence of a fence on the site, the size and design of the site itself.
The nuances of arranging a gate for the entrance to a garden plot:
The width of the canvas is about 1 m. As a rule, this is enough to carry large items and pieces of furniture into the estate. A large fence requires strengthening of the support beams and the use of more durable fittings.
The height of the structure is limited to 2-2.2 m. This value depends on the height of the existing fence and the purpose of the sash.
Experienced summer residents agree that optimal placement main entrance - close to a residential building, so that the gate can be seen from the window.
Basic criteria for choosing a wicket
Let's consider the types of garden gates based on their main design characteristics: purpose, design and material of manufacture.
Purpose of the enclosing door
Conventionally, all country gates can be divided into three groups:
Design features of the gate
Based on the design of the frame and the connection with the fence, the following types of country gates are distinguished:
- free-standing fencing;
- wickets that are part of the gate;
- fences adjacent to the entrance gate.
By degree of openness door leaf There are: curtained, free and combined.
Blind gates protect the country estate from prying eyes and drafts. This option is very popular. To make the fence attractive, the canvas is framed with decorative elements made of wood or metal.
Free wickets partially block the view of the site. To create an openwork canvas, artistic forging is used - the elements are made in the same style. Simpler products are made from wooden picket fence or metal mesh chain-links. Translucent models of gates are made of polycarbonate.
Combined entrance gates are created from several different fabrics. The bottom of the gate is made blank, and the upper part is decorated with forged inserts.
Fabric material
The most popular materials for arranging gates are metal, wood and polycomposite. Let's consider the features of using each of them.
Metal gate for the dacha it is considered the most durable, wear-resistant and mechanically strong. The disadvantage of the model is the difficulty of making it yourself. To implement the project you will need specialized equipment and welding skills.
Types of metal fences: gates made of corrugated sheets, forged products or the use of sheet metal.
Features of fences made of corrugated sheets:
- the profiled sheet is made of steel, coated with a protective layer of zinc and polymer - this ensures the material’s resistance to corrosion;
- rigidity of the canvas due to the presence of rectangular waves;
- ease of fixing sheets to metal frame- fastening is carried out using special rivets;
- affordability and ease of use.
Corrugated sheets also have some disadvantages:
- there is a high probability of dents appearing due to mechanical damage;
- the formation of corrosion due to violation of the integrity of the top layer;
- "rustic" appearance.
Forged Products, on the contrary, are distinguished by sophistication and exclusivity. But for the presentability of the design you will have to pay a relatively high price. Forged elements make the gate very heavy. Some summer residents are alarmed by the transparency of such a fence, but this drawback can be easily eliminated by installing a polycarbonate “curtain”.
Wickets from sheet metal practical to use, but the material is difficult to process independently.
Wooden gate for a dacha it is appropriate if the fence on the site is also made of wood. The fence is organically combined with gabions, natural stone and brick. Advantages of wooden models:
- ease of wood processing;
- opportunity self-made gates;
- availability and environmental friendliness of the material;
- beautiful appearance.
Disadvantages of wooden products:
- exposure to moisture, rotting and burning processes;
- need for regular processing protective equipment and LKM;
- service life is about 5-8 years.
Polycomposite and plastic models appeared on the market recently, but have already gained popularity among summer residents. Wickets are on sale various sizes, textures and colors. Assembly and installation of the fence does not cause any difficulties.
Wooden gate manufacturing technology
To work, you will need a hacksaw, a screwdriver with bits and drills, a level and a tape measure. From the materials you need to prepare:
- corners;
- loops;
- self-tapping screws;
- boards for door trim;
- thick wooden beams for the frame;
- support beams.
Advice. It is better to buy lumber already in finished form- dry planed boards of equal thickness on a planer
When choosing wood, it is advisable to give preference to:
- larch and cedar - dense material resistant to weather conditions;
- spruce or pine - affordable wood, easy to process;
- oak - durable, hard raw material with a beautiful texture;
- laminated veneer lumber assembled from hardwood.
Step-by-step instructions for making a garden gate:
Step-by-step installation of a calico made of corrugated sheets
Requirements for country gate A fence made of corrugated sheets is fully responsible. You can prepare a drawing and assemble the gate using it yourself.
Drawing development and materials procurement
Having examined the ready-made drawings of a garden gate, you can easily draw up your own plan, based on the parameters of the site and personal preferences.
The diagram should indicate:
- total length of support pillars;
- depth of the foundation for the racks;
- distance from the ground to the door leaf;
- width of the gate;
- frame design, number of jumpers;
- location of hinges and bolt.
Important! Support pillars must be buried below the freezing level of the soil. On heavy soils, a depth of 0.7 m is permissible, and on light, heaving soils - at least 1 m.
Based on the developed drawing, materials are selected:
- metal profile for pillars - two sections of 3.3 m each;
- blank plates for supports - two squares 80*80 mm;
- profiled wall sheet - 1*2 m;
- metal profile for frame 40*40 mm - 5.5 m;
- two hinges, a lock and a latch.
Additional Consumables: waterproofing film, sand-cement mortar, primer for metal and paint, rivets for fixing the corrugated sheet.
To assemble and install the gate with your own hands, you will need the following tools:
- grinder and drill;
- welding machine;
- hacksaw for metal;
- drill for digging a hole.
Installation of support posts
Pre-clean and level the area, mark the place for the support beams - the distance between them should be 4-5 cm greater than the width of the gate.
Procedure:
- Drill holes with a diameter of 40-50 cm.
- Cover the bottom of the blocks with waterproofing film.
- Build a “pillow” of crushed stone.
- The edges metal racks that will be immersed in the ground, clean them from rust and treat them with a primer.
- Place the beams in the holes, level the supports and secure the position with stones.
- Fill the hole with cement-sand mortar.
After a day, check the parallelism of the beams by measuring the dimensions of the opening at the top and bottom.
Creating a frame and canvas
Sequence of work:
- Prepare the components of the frame - cut a pipe with a cross-section of 40*40 mm according to the drawing.
- Place the pieces on a flat surface and secure the structural elements with clamps.
- Check the evenness of the assembly.
- Seal the elements with a weld seam and once again check the evenness of the diagonals and the perpendicularity of the corners.
- Install cross bar and strengthen the frame with metal corners.
- If the assembly is completed correctly, perform final welding.
“Try on” the frame by aligning the frame to the support posts. Mark the places for the hinges - the distance to the edges of the canvas should be about 25-30 cm. After welding the hinges to the frame, sand the welding seams, coat the frame with a primer and paint.
Frame covering:
- Cut the profiled sheet.
- Secure the metal sheet with rivets. A weak fastening will lead to loosening of the canvas during the wind, and a strong fastening will lead to its deformation. Therefore, you need to screw in the screw carefully.
Final assembly of the structure
Hanging the finished canvas on support posts performed after the foundation has completely hardened.
The order of assembling the gate:
- Place the fence in the opening, placing it under the canvas wooden beam 10 cm thick.
- On the beam he will mark the places for the counter loops.
- Weld the hinges and hang the gate.
- Check door movement. Spontaneous opening or closing of the calico is unacceptable.
- WITH reverse side place a limiter on the hinges so that the door only works in one direction.
Gates for a summer residence: photo ideas for decorating the entrance ensemble
The fence and the fence act as a single decorative element thanks to the pattern applied across the entire fence fabric.
A low fence in the Provence style is suitable for separating the garden from the backyard summer cottage. The white gate looks great against the backdrop of lush greenery and natural stone.
Original and at the same time simple form The entrance door emphasizes the laconicism and sophistication of the Japanese-style garden.
An unusual solution - the connection of forged elements and natural materials. Artfully crafted grape bunches are complemented by natural vineyard branches.
Eco-decor made from untreated wood is appropriate for a small country estate. The gate doors, like the fence, are designed in a rustic style.
Despite the diversity building material for fences and fences, when choosing a gate for a summer house, there are rather two types - a gate made of metal and wood. A gate at a dacha or in a private yard is not only an entrance to the territory. This is protection against unwanted intrusion and theft of property. But in addition to all these functions, the gate also serves as a decoration for the site.
This is what classic metal gates of simple design look like
Metal gates have a number of advantages and positive qualities:
- Metal is stronger and more durable than wood;
- A metal gate provides more reliable protection;
- A variety of options in terms of cost, appearance, purpose and material.
These gates are made from a single sheet of steel or aluminum. They are solid in appearance, and can carefully hide the territory of the farmstead from prying eyes and vandalism. The thickness of the metal can vary from 1 to 5 mm. Such gates are not highly decorative and require regular painting.
Welded metal garden gate
Each of these metals has its own pros and cons. Aluminum gates are lightweight in construction, but are more susceptible to accidental damage. In addition, this metal is more expensive.
Gate made from steel sheet, is heavier and needs strong foundations. But in comparison with aluminum it will be much cheaper for family budget and has long term operation. Such a gate will not be damaged by a pebble accidentally flying out from under the wheels of a car. It is quite possible to make metal gates with your own hands. To do this, you need a welding machine, an angle grinder and experience working with such tools.
How to make a metal gate yourself
Forged gates
And the gates are made by hand from metal using the forging method. They are distinguished by their aesthetics and rich appearance. The price of such gates is high, so for a large number of consumers they remain an unaffordable luxury. 
Such gates are most often made according to individual order. Elements self made make each piece exquisite and unique. Forged gates are an element of dacha decor that indicates the status and strong financial position of its owner.
To ensure that the gate does not look too transparent, they are supplemented with a sheet of metal, corrugated board or polycarbonate. To make such an exhibit with your own hands, you need to have good forging skills and proficiency, so most often forged fences are simply purchased.
Welded gates
These wickets are widely used. They are often installed separately or in combination with gates to fence a dacha. They can be solid or openwork, with handmade decoration. The covering can be metal or aluminum sheet or corrugated sheet. Gates made in this way are distinguished by their reliability, strength and durability. They are easy to make with your own hands if you have the skills to work with metal or follow the instructions.
At the same time, you need to know that if the frame of a welded gate is sheathed with corrugated sheets, it cannot be attached to the base like ordinary metal. For this, special self-tapping screws are used.
Such gates also include metal gates made of welded mesh. But even if they are used in dacha fencing, it is only to separate zones within the site or, for example, to separate a recreation area from a garden or vegetable garden.
Strong bases are the key to the strength and durability of the gate
Whatever metal gates or a gate was chosen for fencing the dacha, they all need a strong and reliable foundation. After all, the durability and beauty of the fence depends on this. A skewed gate is unlikely to please the owner's eyes.
The metal has enough weight to create a large load on the pillars. It will even have significant weight thanks to the metal frame. Therefore, metal gates and gates must be installed on strong poles that can withstand the load.
Stone or must be installed on. Depending on the type of fence, it can be strip, continuous around the perimeter of the entire fence, or made in the form of glasses, providing strength to the posts.
Drawing and diagram for installing a foundation under a brick pillar
If you plan to install the poles yourself from metal pipe or concrete, then you need to know how to do it correctly. First you need to plan a place for future gates and gates. After this, a hole is made in the intended location using a drill to the depth of soil freezing.
A garden auger is best suited for this work, since the holes should not greatly exceed the diameter of the supports, which, in turn, should fit into them easily and freely. The bottom of the pit is covered with a cushion of crushed stone and sand. After this, the pillar is installed. Using a plumb line, check its verticality, after which the free space of the pit is filled with crushed stone or broken brick.
An example of an installed brick fence frame on a foundation
The crushed stone must be compacted well and filled with cement-sand mortar, which is made in a ratio of 1:3. The cement hardens over several days, after which you can safely attach a wicket or gate to the posts.
Metal wickets and gates are very popular. They are often installed when fencing a dacha or private yard. Some types of such gates can be made with your own hands, while others are better to buy. But they are all durable, reliable and durable.
Many owners country houses They prefer to make the gate separately from the gate. Moreover, you can build it yourself from different materials, but most often they use wood or metal. Such a product will decorate any area, but before you begin its construction, you need to select the installation location. You also need to take measurements and draw up a diagram.
Finding the installation location
The gate should be installed so that there is a clear passage to the house. In addition, there should not be any holes near it, otherwise dirt and water will accumulate in the recesses all the time.
You can make several gates with your own hands, for example, one will be the entrance and the other will be the rear to reduce distances covered. Moreover additional door can be made from wood.
Design features of the gate
To make metal gates with your own hands you will need the following elements:
- The frame that serves as the base of the door in the fence;
- Sheathing;
- Canopies for fixing the product;
- Latches.
Particular attention should be paid to the sheathing, since a variety of materials can be used to construct a metal gate: profiled sheets, galvanized sheets, chain-link mesh or reinforcement. When choosing a covering, it is better to first look at a photo of how the product will look with it, since there are many of them on the Internet today.
Installation of side posts
The metal gate is mounted on posts that are driven one meter into the ground to prevent the product from sagging under its own weight. Then markings are made and the installation location is marked.
Using a grinder, you need to cut the length of the post from the workpiece, adding one meter to it. Then the surface treatment is carried out: remove traces of rust with anti-corrosion liquid and Bulgarian. When everything dries, it will appear white coating, which should also be removed with a rag.
To fill the holes you will need a liquid solution. To prepare it you need cement mix with sand in a ratio of approximately 1:3. You should get a homogeneous mixture. Add a little water to it and bring the mass to a liquid state.
The next step is to install the pillars. You need to fill the drilled holes with crushed stone or any stones - compact everything. Then the supports are poured, but be careful about their alignment. The perpendicularity of the installation should be checked with a plumb line.
Making a gate frame with your own hands
For the manufacture of frames, as a rule, they use metal corner. It gives the product durability and strength. Before proceeding with the construction of a door in the fence, you need to decide in advance on its dimensions. By the way, the bottom of the gate should be slightly higher than its posts You can see the photo to see what it looks like.
The basis of the frame will be several metal profiles, one of which will be additional. The length of the last product should be similar to the width of the metal. This profile will create additional rigidity, as it will be placed in the center. This frame will last for many years.
Sheathing of the product
For such purposes, any suitable material. In addition, the door in the fence can be made open with a pattern of bent reinforcement. But, if they make a blind gate, then use:
- Edged board. It will go perfectly with the corner base. The boards are fixed to the additional profile and frame with screws.
- Fence mesh. Most often it is used to construct country gates. It is secured with wire ends or screws with a wide head.
- Solid sheet metal. It is cut to the size of the frame, applied and secured by welding. It is also advisable to use it for fixing rivets. There is no need to use too thick sheets - 2-3 mm will be enough.
It is better to sheathe the front side of the metal gate with a galvanized sheet, since without galvanization the material will quickly turn black.
Canopy fastening and latches
Canopies consist of different parts. So, one side is attached to the door, the second should be fixed to the supporting posts of the gate, and the third should serve as a fastening part. True, such a gate will weigh a lot. Simple fasteners may not be enough to install it. The canopy must be fixed using a weld seam However, if the gate is not heavy, then you can use rivets, because with them the appearance of the product is more aesthetic.
The latch can serve metal plate. It will extend beyond the gate, thereby holding the entire structure. Some people also use a chain or hook as a latch, but it’s better to look at the photo, which looks prettier.
Decorating a metal gate
To this metal product It turned out not just beautiful, but also stylish, it is necessary to decorate it with forged parts. They need to be welded immediately after assembling the gate. This way you can paint it carefully. Decorative elements sold at any hardware store. To save money, you can make similar products with your own hands using a photo from rebar or a thin profile.
If planted next to the gate climbing plants, then it will be possible to create shading of the space. You can also decorate the gate original handles, but they will have to be combined with other decorative elements.
After creating the gate with your own hands, you need to clean all welds and metal surfaces from traces of corrosion. Open everything with a rust converter, and after the product has dried, remove the film that appears with a piece of cloth. Metal elements needs to be well primed. On top of the primer layer, all that remains is to apply paint in several layers. The metal gate is ready!
A neat fence with a beautiful gate and wicket is a memorable business card of the owner.
Their appearance characterizes the owner, shows his wealth and thriftiness, because the fence and gate are the first thing that guests and passers-by see.
A good gate, and if it also has decorative elements, is not cheap. The price depends on the chosen material and the price for the work; usually the work comes out as material.
To save on work you need to know how to make a metal one.
Material selection
If the fence is brick, then the material from which the gate will be made is not important; if it is a fence, then it is better to make the gate from it.
The gate should stand out against the background of the fence, but at the same time be in harmony in color and material. In order to immediately know how much material will be needed, you can first sketch out drawings of the future gate.
Wicket material:
- The blanks are metal, the metal must be high-carbon, this will prevent rapid corrosion.
- For pillars, pipes or profiles with a diameter of at least 100 mm are suitable.
- Profile pipe or angle for the gate frame.
- A sheet of metal with a thickness of 1.5 mm or a sheet of metal profile for cladding.
- Metal curtains, preferably with a bearing mechanism.
- Lock.
- Primer.
- Dye.
- Liquid for anti-corrosion treatment.
Tools for work:
- For marking you will need a thread, a plumb line and a tape measure.
- Semi-automatic welding machine with a power of 220 W.
- A hand drill, if available, or a shovel.
- A sledgehammer for hammering in pillars.
- A screwdriver and a drill for fastening the sheathing to the frame.
- Grinder for cutting metal and cleaning weld seams.
Installation of poles
The pillars are the load-bearing part that supports the entire structure of the gate or wicket. The length of the pillars must exceed the height general design 1 meter so that they can be buried in the ground for reliable stability.
Using a drill, you need to make two holes in the ground at a distance of about 1 m, approximately 50-70 cm deep. Posts are inserted into these holes and driven in an additional 30 cm with a sledgehammer.
Afterwards, the pillars are leveled vertically and filled with concrete at the base. To give additional rigidity to the pillars, they are welded with a transverse profile in the upper part.
Frame assembly
The size of the frame of the future gate must be made smaller than the width of the opening of the pillars by 5-8 cm for comfortable rotation of the sash. The distance from the ground to the gate leaf should be from 15 to 20 cm, this is necessary in case of snowfall.
The metal frame is welded from a profile or angle metal with a thickness of 3 mm. The profiles are welded together at the corners of the frame. To make the frame rigid, an additional transverse bar is welded in the middle.
In the resulting halves of the frame, one additional profile is welded obliquely so that they resemble each other Latin letter"Z". Afterwards, metal or iron sheathing will be attached to all the posts of the finished frame and additional stiffening ribs.
Preparatory work is very important part. Before you start welding the frame, you need to cut the workpiece to size using a grinder, remove burrs from the cut areas, and degrease the cuts with gasoline or a special solution. And then start cooking on a flat, pre-prepared surface.
The surface on which you are going to assemble the frame with your own hands must be flat; if this is not the case, you may get a bend at one of the corners, and the frame will take the shape of a propeller.
After the frame is ready, the curtains are welded to it. They consist of two parts, one part is welded to the door frame, the second to the pillars. It is desirable that the curtains have a bearing mechanism.
Frame covering
For cladding, it is best to take a sheet of galvanized metal or a painted sheet of metal profile; it does not corrode and will last a long time.
From a sheet of metal that was prepared in advance, a whole piece is cut to the size of the welded frame of the gate. If you don’t have such a large piece of metal and you can’t cut out a whole piece, then try to cut it so that the seam connecting the pieces of metal falls on the middle transverse bar of the frame.
Next, with your own hands, pressing the sheet of metal tightly to the frame, grab it around the perimeter. If you choose a metal profile sheet or galvanized metal, then attach it with rivets or self-tapping screws using a drill and screwdriver.
Lock and handle mortise
After you have finished with the casing, you need to embed the lock. For gates, it is best suited for three bolts that extend into the locking part of the frame. The handle can be selected complete with a lock or separately, all at the discretion of the owner.
Decoration
To decorate the resulting gate, on outside Various forged products can be welded. Such products in various construction stores and supermarkets are available in a large assortment. You can choose what you like and make any pattern or composition with your own hands.
Final stage
When the new gate is in place, all the parts are screwed in, the decorative forging pattern is welded, it is necessary to clean all metal surfaces and welds from traces of rust, and open it all with a rust converter. After the converter is covered with white film, it must be wiped off with a rag, and all metal parts must be primed. When the primer dries, apply paint on top in two layers.
That's all, our gate is ready!
The method described above for assembling a gate with your own hands is also suitable for gates. The assembly principle is the same for almost all materials.
Wood and metal look very attractive. If you decide to make a gate or wicket from wood, then you need to provide tools for processing wood in advance and at the end take the necessary measures to protect it from pests and the influence of natural factors.
