Owners of private houses and garages have long appreciated the convenience of the entrance gate of the swing type.
This is natural, because such a design was almost the only one for hundreds of years.
Easy to operate and reliability has always been in price. So now dackets, and the owners of cottages continue to improve their constructive.
And if first of their basis it was wooden deaf gates, then their modern type can be represented by a high-tech automated complex.
Types and types of swing gates
As noted above, the swollen entrance doors depending on the material, there may be two types: wooden and metal. According to the design, it is customary to distinguish the gate of biscuits (duplex) and with one hollow (sash).
Very often, especially in the gates for garages, hangars and storage facilities, a combined type is used - a biscuit gate with a gate. Thereby saves the place and materials for a separate entrance. But in most cases, they are performed as "deaf" elements, and only some places (government agencies, hospitals, etc.) you can meet forged, lattice or tubular swing gates with the entrance to them.
Another type of gate is a metal swing gate into two targets with the use of decoration and (or) lined with painted straw. The floors of the gate have a lightweight view, and the input (wicket) is made next to them.
This species is perfect for a private house. It received widespread use because it serves decades and practically does not require repair, unlike wooden analogues. Additionally, the design can be equipped with automatic, which will further increase their functionality.
Device of swing gate
Consider the drawing of the typical design of the gate of the professional flooring. It is based on the frame from the profile of a square or ordinary pipe with a diameter of 20 to 40 mm. Each sash can have one or two horizontal stable to enhance the stiffness of the structure (Scheme 1).

Other options are also possible, for example, one horizontal and two diagonals. This location clearly holds the gate geometry (Scheme 2).
Make a swollen gate with your own hands to any owner, if he sufficiently owns the skills of the assembly of metal structures. You will need the ability to use the welding machine, a brown, a grinder, a sprout and measuring instruments. It may also need painting.
Scheme 2. Gate with transverse rail and diagonals
Each gate sash is screwed onto the screws or welded on the loop to the columns. On the sash there are enough two loops with a diameter of 20 or 30 mm. The pillars are also performed in the form of a metal pipe with a diameter of 70 -76 mm, or a profiled 20 x40 mm.
As a support of the gate, you can use directly iron pipes (hinged pole), but depending on the design of the fence, they are mounted in brick (concrete) columns. To do this, it is necessary to provide two mortgage parts in the brickwork, for which the attached racks are welded. For diagonals (diagonal) and crosslinked, it is recommended to use a profile 20 x 20 or 20 x 40 mm.
The practice is established that the optimal width for the entry gates of private use can be considered 3 meters size. This is quite enough for any passenger car or truck. If you want to save, then you should not reduce the size of more than 20 cm. The height of the gate is in most cases, excluding lifting over the ground, is equal to two meters.
The shut-off gate mechanism, as a rule, consists of a "g" of the threshing pin (stopper) located at the bottom of each of the grotin. Based on the land at the place of fixation of the gate, there are holes from pipes, the inner diameter, which is 5 -10 mm more thickness of the stopper. There are no hard restrictions on the length, but still it is desirable to make them no more than 50 cm. In addition to the stoppers, it is possible to provide a horizontal shutter, through the line is broken.
As already mentioned the easiest and most practical option for the finish of the gate is the sewing straw. The professional flooring will be organically fit into the overall design, if the fence is to withstand in the same style. Usually, the professionalist on the gate is attached at a distance of 5 -7 cm from the level (base).

Automation of the gate
So far, we have considered the scheme of ordinary swing gates. But what if you suddenly get tired manually constantly open and close the sash, or for any reason it will want to upgrade them. In this case, engineers designed are developed so-called linear electric drives (automation).
This system consists directly from the linear electric drives themselves (2 pieces), as well as a control unit, alarm lamp, antenna and an electromagnetic lock. Automatic swing gates are powered by the voltage of the usual household alternating current voltage of 220 W. In the photo, all the elements of the system elegantly fit into the original design of the gate "under the antiquity".
It is very important before installing the automation in advance to provide carrier poles. As in the previous examples, it is advisable to be made of concrete, and even better from the brick.
There are three options for installing an automatic gate depending on the direction of the opening of the stem: outward, inward and inward with the refinement of carrier pillars. In each of them, the installation of automation is carried out in a specific sequence. In our case, it may be necessary to install outwards, or the last option (per person), since we initially considered the option for future automation.
The location of the system control unit can be different (left or right), it is important to choose the proper sections of the wires. Figure below shows an indicative layout of the location of the elements of the system and the cross section of the wire.
The drive for installation has a feature, it is specifically necessary to provide for the distance from the carrier pillar. If this is not envisaged and the gate must be made inward, as in our case, then you just need to carefully hollow out and place the places for them.
The price of linear drives ranges from 23 to 36,000 rubles. For example, the electric drive of the company "Doorhan" SWING-5000 (up to 5 meters), stands around 25 thousand.
Building technology and installing swing gates
The gate should be made in stationary conditions on the ground and the aligned surface (lafet). The dimensions of your gate must accurately coincide with the design drawings. That is, all the billets need to sprinkle with a grinder with a tolerance of 1 mm. Then, replacing straight angles, weld the details of the future perimeter of the gate sash, and then accenes and diagonally.

The markup under the loop is produced at a distance of at least 30 - 40 cm from the edge of the frame and the trail is welded to it. Hinges can be bought in the store or order in a lathe workshop. After the mounted pillar, they do the same actions with welding, by grab.
If everything is precisely in size, weaker a completely loop. You can not use welding, but then you will have to be screwed to screw through thick steel on the tapping screw. Painting the metal can be fastened to the professional sheet with screws with a pole.
Installation of swing gates is read from the markup of support (concrete or brick) pillars, according to the centers of the main axis of the gate. Based on the pillars you need to build an iron pipe with a diameter of 100 mm on the concrete. It must be burned to a depth of 130 -150 cm. Make it best with a screw (bera) of the corresponding diameter, leaving a concrete place for about 10 cm around the circle.
Exposing the basis of a brick column, use the level and check the vertical in both planes. A 20 mm clearance is needed between the grid, which can be overlapped with a selected metal strip, 50 mm wide. So the tolerance is necessary, since on hot days when heating the metal is expanding, and your gate can simply jam. Homemade swing gates will look no worse than the factory analogues, if you approach the process of their assembly with the mind.
There are many options for placing the gate, but they are simply impossible to describe everything. Each case is individual and therefore the manufacture of swollen gates can be called a creative process, where each owner can embody his own developments or take already existing ones.
