Owners of own sites try to establish such gate that they were and are beautiful, and are convenient, and well would fit into the general registration. Designs from tree are considered as the most available and simple performed by.
Wishing to make independently wooden gate for a start it is necessary to make the drawing of design. It helps to provide more precisely amount of works, in advance to buy necessary materials. By drawing up the drawing it is necessary to try that all parts and constructive parts were in full compliance with each other.
How to establish support for gate
It is necessary to make vertical support of wood beams. Their size should be counted so: to height of gate to add a meter more for deepening. Than depth on which support are established will be bigger, especially the design turns out steady and strong. So in use the collar decreases distortion probability.
Scavenge from the place intended for installation of rod posts. Dig out holes – their diameter has to be 20 cm more, than at support. Stamp bottom of hole and make pillow of crushed stone. That part of column which will be filled in with concrete should be processed previously structure which will protect wood from rotting – for example, bituminous mastic. Check vertical position of installation of column by means of plumb. The hole with the established column should be filled in with concrete and to wait until it dries.
Production of gate
To make one of racks of gate, about one bar needs for top and bottom, two bars for side pillars, two – for average crossing point. Calculations of the sizes for gate are made depending on the machine sizes. All parts have to be processed by antiseptic impregnation. Frame members display on plain surface, in places of connections it is necessary to drill openings. Insert dowels into them – they stiffen those places where parts connect. In the middle of framework crossing points from bar are established. On corners the struts representing bars with cuts on the ends at an angle in 45 degrees fix. Counting framework height, it is necessary to consider that boards of covering have to support it from below and from above on 20 cm. Boards before covering should be prepared – to cut off to the sizes put by calculation and to work as plane. They can be attached to framework and densely to each other, and with certain step. After all boards of covering are established into place, the top should be cut and carried out cleaning by abrasive paper. Now to shutters loops fasten – for this purpose use self-tapping screws with screw thread. Self-tapping screws can be used also for fixing of fastenings to racks. The distance from bottom of gate to the earth has to be at least 5 cm. The closed gate are fixed by latches, latches or locks – the way is chosen by the owner. It is better to paint gate in assembled form.
