When planning the arrangement of the entrance gate in front of the house, you can order this work to specialists, or do everything yourself, forming a unique and stylish design. It is important that the gate and gate fully meet the design and appearance of the structure and the entire fence. Naturally, they should cope with their immediate functions, be strong and durable.
For example, if the fence is made of wood, then forged gates will not be a good choice. They will not be able to harmoniously fit into the unified style of the structure. However, they will look great with forged lattices and stone fences.
When creating the gate, it should be noted that its optimal width is from one to one and a half meters. Practice shows that this is completely enough for the passage of all kinds of strollers, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc.
What should be the entrance gate?
This design should consist of several wings. Their height can be up to two meters. The most common are the following types of gate:
Sliding.
Swearing.
The main element of the structure is symmetric sashes. They are fixed on the supports by means of special loops. They are created from metal or array of natural wood. Such gates are revealed in different directions.
Initially, it is recommended to choose supports. Steel pipes are suitable for this. It is important that their diameter is at least ten centimeters. When ordering supports, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the more rigid and strong they are, the longer they last.
As for the framework, you can use a square or rectangular profile to create them. The width of the profile shelf should be from four centimeters. Concrete support columns is recommended in the soil at a depth of at least one – two meters. This will become the key to their strength and durability.
By mounting supports, the likely changes in the soil in the winter should be provided. Under the influence of these factors, the pillar can corny “squeeze” from the ground with insufficient fastening. It is for this reason that the support must be mounted thoroughly. This will avoid many problems in the future. Such gates will be able to serve the owners for several decades.
