Which gate is better - we make a choice

Finishing the entrance to the site, this is a serious issue that faces almost every site owner. Which gate to choose, we'll talk about this today.

There are a large number of materials on the sales market, it is sometimes difficult to understand, we will look at three types of structures, they are basic. You will have the opportunity to see photos and videos on this topic and make the right choice.

Use of profiled sheeting

This is a fairly common material that is used in the manufacture of wickets and gates (see. Doors and wicket doors made of corrugated flooring: the installation features). But like any other material, it is not universal. There are advantages and disadvantages.

Virtues

This design will suit many owners. This material is used in many ways. You can use and waste.

 So:

• The advantages include appearance. Painting is done by a hot method at the production stage. You have no need to do it on your own. You get a finish on which there are no stains and stains. Such painting does not change its appearance for a long time;
• This design will be economical., there is no pattern in it and therefore waste is reduced;
• Durability design. The fact is that anti-corrosion coating is applied to this material during the production process. Therefore, it is done qualitatively. You can be sure that the product will serve its owner for a long time;
• Easy installation, can also attract the consumer. Just in this embodiment, it is not necessary to customize the pattern, the coating is straight, and therefore there is no red tape. The material is quite light. During the work the tools that are available in any farm are used;
• This material has many colors. and a person can choose exactly what he needs;
• The price is quite attractive. Anyone can afford such a finish;
• This material is an environmentally friendly product.which does not harm human health.

disadvantages

With a large number of advantages, this material has its drawbacks, which you should know:

• The product looks very simple. And it is difficult to decorate. If you attach the forging elements, then welding is required. The coating will break and the material will quickly rot. The sheet is very thin, and although the coating is applied qualitatively, with mechanical damage it exposes a thin metal;
• There is noise when it rains. The material is thin and therefore it is very audible;
• The applied coating is easily damaged mechanically;
• When joining the sheet, moisture gets into the slot and then corrosion quickly appears;
• At production it is worth using only one screws. Welding is extremely undesirable. The metal is thin and the coating quickly collapses when heated. Therefore, in these places the material is quickly covered with corrosion.

Caution: If you decide to apply this material, then you should make the product from solid sheets. The more seams, the less will be the life of the structure. If the seam is still there, then it should be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture.

Metal application

This is the most common material that is applied. And there are reasons for this. A wicket can be made of metal by a person with any income (see. We make wickets out of metal independently)

Virtues

This design is most often used in the decoration of wickets and gates:

• Ease of manufacture. Although this concept is relative. More precisely, with this material you can make a fairly simple design that you can easily do with your own hands. And there is also an opportunity to do something complex that can not be done by an ordinary person. This is for example with elements of forging. But this question can be solved, these details are not to be made by yourself, but simply to buy in the finished form, they are in retail;
• Durability. This material will serve its owner for a long time. But only here there is one nuance, it is necessary to make the processing of the structure correctly. Then you protect it reliably from the environment;
• It is possible to perform a budget version of the product, the price of which is not high. And after you decide which gate is needed, you can arrange it accordingly.

Caution: If you decide to use metal for finishing, then try to take a sheet with higher carbon content. It is less susceptible to the formation of corrosion. Therefore will serve longer.

• Another virtue. If you can not pick up a sheet of the desired thickness in the profiled sheeting, then when making metal it is possible to take exactly what you need. Thickness is chosen by the owner;
• This product is economical in manufacturing. You have almost no waste. And if anything remains, it is always useful in the household;
• The possibility of registration. In the corrugated surface relief plane, which is difficult to decorate. On the sheet you can fit almost everything.

disadvantages

There are also disadvantages:

• Susceptibility to corrosion, this is probably the main drawback. True it can be prevented. To do this, you just need to process the surface. And this costs and time.
• Although if you do everything correctly, then you will significantly extend the service life. Although to do it as well as in production will not work;

Wood application

This will probably be the most expensive option. Which is not so often used. Although many want to do. Pure wooden products are now used quite rarely.

However, a tree that is framed by metal is found farther, the more. Let's look at the pros and cons of such a product.

Virtues

Although the price of the material and expensive, but it will be justified:

• Probably in the first place should be put appearance. The wooden gate will decorate any house. Show the image of its owner .;
• It is possible to apply almost any configuration. Wood is quite easy to process. And almost anyone can do this;
• Ease of manufacture. This is of course very relative. Rather, say the owner, see can determine the level of complexity. Here you can perform a rather complicated and expensive construction. And there is the possibility of a budget option. You can fully calculate the value of your wallet;
• Durability material is also a plus. True, it is possible with proper handling of the plane. So if you applied just such a configuration, then to maintain the appearance, be prepared to apply your work, labor, then the product will last a very long time;
• Great possibilities of finishing the plane. Here it is possible to apply not only various figures, but also to finish with forging. It will look rich and original;
• All the work can be done by hand. And do not need special tools;
• You can apply in the decoration and cheap wood and expensive breeds.

disadvantages

This is not so much. But there is a significant question. Need to spend time and money on care. If this is not done periodically, then the product will become unusable quickly.

We have listed the main types of wicket decoration. What is the right gate for you, decide and decide on the presented characteristics. It is not so difficult. We have a website on how to perform all types of finishes. The choice is yours.
