If you are soon going to buy a cottage, a house or a garage, then you will certainly face the question of the safety of real estate and property. The main way to solve this issue is the gate, because it is they who separate the entrance or entrance to the territory of the garage or plot and close the view from passers-by. Before you add a gate to one or another object, you need to familiarize yourself with the main varieties of the first - this will allow you to make the right choice.
Varieties of gates
Considering the types of gates, you can choose the best option for yourself. Depending on the design, they can be:
- swing;
- rollback;
- sectional.
The most common type are swing gates that can fit into any garage or fence. However, they provide for the need for a large space. This point should be taken into account in advance. Supportthe structures and frame are made of rolled metal, while the sashes can be sheathed with colored profiled sheets, wooden crates, forged elements or sandwich panels.
Considering the types of gates, you can choose their sliding type, which is the most convenient, therefore it is popular. Such designs have two drawbacks. The first of these is expressed in high cost, while the second is in the need for additional space. Sectional doors are used for garages. Most often they can be found in underground parking lots, warehouses and parking lots.
Varieties of swing gates
Swing gates are popular because they almost do not require additional maintenance during operation. If we are talking about a classic design, then it has two wings fixed to the supporting pillars. Considering the types of swing gates, bisexual and combined should be distinguished.
The second type of swing gate has a built-in gate, so it is often used for garages, warehouses and small suburban areas. Such a design can also be classified according to the material of manufacture. Swing gate types can be:
- wooden;
- metal;
- made of polycarbonate;
- forged.
Recommendations for making swing gates
Swing gates usually require the installation of load-bearing poles. They are buried a meter or more, and afterconcreted. As pillars, you can use a metal profile tube with a square section with a side of 100 mm. As one of the most popular options, one should also highlight a wooden beam, as well as concrete supports.
Varieties of sectional doors
Such gates are sections connected by hinges. They move on tires attached to the opening. You can subdivide such structures according to the type of canvas, it can be assembled from sandwich panels or can be represented by a panoramic canvas. In the first option, we are talking about steel sheets that are interconnected and filled with heat-insulating material.
The panoramic canvas is made of extruded aluminum profiles, in which inserts of translucent material are installed.
If you are interested in the types of sectional doors, then you should consider another classification of them, which provides for the division of structures according to the area of \u200b\u200buse. Thus, sectional doors can be:
- garage;
- industrial;
- panoramic.
The last variety is one of the types of industrial doors. In this case, the canvas is assembled from separate panels. A feature is the possibility of viewing indoors and providing natural light. This solution is relevant for service stations, car dealerships and industrial facilities like fire departments.
Rail gates
In private homes today you can see different types of gates. Among them, it is especially necessary to highlight the rail. This design has the form of sliding panels. If you decide to replace the old gate with the new one described in this section, then you will need a 0.5 m indent from the fence. Among other things, there must be free flat space along it, which is equal to the length of the rolling panel.
Rail gates can also be cantilevered. According to the type of panel fastening, such structures are rail and hinged, as well as on rollers. The canvas in all three varieties has the same principle of movement, the difference will be only in the technical device. Rail types of garage doors are popular for several reasons, among them should be highlighted:
- ability to bear the weight of any skin;
- impressive length of the panel covering the passage;
- high level of resistance and resistance to wind loads.
However, before installing such a design, disadvantages must also be considered. They lie in the fact that the opening must be well fortified. During operation, the chute in which the rail is installed must be periodically cleaned. A profile that is in the ground, under the influence of precipitation and the external environment, will eventually deform and change its original linear dimensions.
Recommendations for installation of rail gates
If you have considered all types of garage doors and have chosen a rail suspended version of them,then installation work should begin with the installation of a canopy, which will act as a support for the structure. The metal profile will be used for the manufacture of beams. Small balls are installed inside the profile, with the help of which smooth movement along the rail will be ensured.
Retractable panels can be hung from above. In this case, the device with wheels and rollers is first installed on the panel. After that, the panel can be fixed to the hanger. To do this, it is necessary to use a transverse beam, the sectional shape of which should be concave inward. The suspension beam must be selected according to the weight of the panel. When purchasing a profile, you should pay attention to the weight for which the product is designed. It is not recommended to exceed the load, this will cause the device to bend and fail.
Varieties of gates
In modern construction, a variety of types of gates and gates are used. They can be classified according to their location. Thus, the gates can be independent, be part of the gate or be installed in a set with the gate, which are located nearby. The last variety is represented by three options.
First: there are two openings in the fence, a gate is installed in one, a gate in the other. Second: there is a common opening in the fence, two objects are installed in it, but they are separated by a pole or rack. This element stands out against the background of the gate and the gate and separates the lanes of passage and passage. It is made from the followingmaterials:
- concrete;
- stone;
- brick;
- buta;
- metal pipe.
The third option is similar to the previous one, but in this case the column is not highlighted, as a result, one space can be formed.
Classification of gates and gates by material
The most common types of garage doors are those made of metal. The second place can be given to wood. However, if you decide to add a garage door with a gate, then you should choose corrugated board. Among its advantages, it is necessary to highlight high strength, low cost and the absence of a pattern on the material that would need to be selected during the installation process. The corrugated board has excellent protection against corrosion, it is durable, and you can choose the shade that you like. However, metal types of gates for a private house may be subject to corrosion due to accidental damage to the protective layer, which sometimes occurs during installation or operation.
Wood also has a low cost, and a minimum set of tools is required to make a gate from it. In addition, the design will have a pleasing appearance. But it should be borne in mind that it will turn out to be rather short-lived, fire hazardous and will have low mechanical strength.
Conclusion
Whatever types of gates are considered by modern property owners, the swing type is most often chosen. It is cheaper than the others, and also provides for the possibility of supplementing the design with automation. However, the latter is not alwaysworks properly in the harsh climate of Russia. If you want to save money, then you can do this design yourself by choosing budget materials for the work by the type of profiled sheet.
