Forged gates are devices that provide free passage through a fence or gate. They can have different designs. Today, many people are debating whether there is a need for its organization. In order to answer this question, it is necessary to take into account several factors that allow you to select the right forged gates: photo, material of manufacture and design features.

Forged gate - a device for passing through a fence or hedge

The main advantages of forged gates for the home

Any products and devices that are used in construction have their advantages, as well as some disadvantages. This statement also applies to forged structures. Before purchasing such a gate, it is recommended to learn more about its advantages.

Forged metal gates are particularly wear-resistant

The main advantage of such a passage, located in the gate leaf or in the fence, is that it is made of metal. This material is wear-resistant and has a long service life. To protect against atmospheric precipitation, which causes corrosion, the structure is often treated with various compounds.

Wrought iron gates with a wicket inside can be used in regions with harsh climatic conditions. Metal structures are not afraid of temperature fluctuations. They perform their functions equally well both at -30 and at 30°C.

Forged gates can be combined with fences made of any materials

Note! Another advantage of such products is that they are universal designs. Forged gates can be used in combination with fences made from various building materials, such as brick, polycarbonate, corrugated board, and wood.

These products are made in a variety of styles and can include not only traditional patterns, but also complex ornaments. Forged gates with a built-in wicket can be designed in the same style, or you can act more original and create a contrasting, eye-catching passage in the structure.

Forged gates can decorate and complement the appearance of the site

This gate can be painted any color. The most popular are various dark shades. To decorate small figured elements that are part of the pattern, you can choose gold or silver color. This combination looks very presentable and will delight the owner for many years.

Disadvantages of forged gates for private and country houses

The high aesthetics of forged structures, as well as the fact that they cope well with their direct functions, all this determines their popularity in the modern construction market. They are certainly a good solution for beautifully decorating the passage area.

The appearance of forged gates depends only on your imagination

To be fair, it is worth noting that these products, like any other, are not without their drawbacks. For example, the main disadvantage of such gates is their rather high cost. The price primarily depends on the complexity of forging. Photos of these structures demonstrate the diversity of artistic solutions in this case in the best possible way. The cost is also influenced by the following factors: amount of material, dimensions and functionality.

The disadvantages of these structures also include their heavy weight. This complicates the transportation and installation of the product. Therefore, it is important to determine in advance how the installation will proceed and which gate option is suitable for a particular case. Solid products weigh much more than open ones, and this should be taken into account when choosing a design. This is clearly visible in the photo of forged gates and gates. The price of the sketch, which can be ordered from specialists, also differs depending on what type of gate was chosen.

The more artistic elements a forged gate has, the more time it takes to make it

The last disadvantage of such structures is the long production process. Due to the large number of shaped elements, it takes quite a lot of time to manufacture. Apart from the above, there are no other negative aspects of forged gates.

Solid or combined wickets

They represent the most burglary-resistant option, ensuring maximum secrecy of the personal lives of the inhabitants of the house from prying eyes.
At the same time, they are characterized by maximum material costs. And not only for the gate, but also for the curtains for opening it (unless, of course, it is a structure built into the gate). Having accepted a solid gate as the main option, you should immediately abandon the use of rolled metal rods or angles as the starting material: the final product will be very heavy, and it will be difficult to achieve an attractive design. An alternative solution could be forged gates using wooden fragments (see photo 1), products made from sheet/strip metal (see photo 2), or combined structures (see photo 3). Let's analyze all the options presented.

Photo 1 - Forged wooden gate, which is an addition to the same gate

Forged wooden gates have the following advantages:

• Lightness;
• Possibility of using more expressive wood texture;
• Ease of installation.

The weak points of such structures remain reduced strength and easy flammability, even when using fire-resistant impregnations.

Products forged using strip steel are distinguished by their external lightness and grace. To this should be added the non-standard appearance and the possibility of using scraps of steel strips (including substandard ones; as can be seen from photo 2, the deliberate abstraction and randomness of their installation ultimately creates a positive impression). In addition, not only forging or welding, but also riveting can be used to connect strips, and this will significantly reduce the labor intensity of manufacturing. At the same time, the moment of resistance of the strip “on the plane” is inferior to a similar parameter for rod material, which manifests itself in insufficient rigidity of the structure.

Photo 2 - Gate forged from strips of sheet metal

In this regard, a forged gate, the lower part of which is made of sheet metal, will have higher strength. The sheet on the reverse side can be equipped with corrugations, which will further increase the rigidity of the structure. The visibility of the internal space of the garden area is also reduced. At the same time, the upper part, made of rods, gives the finished structure lightness and delicacy.

The complexity of manufacturing combined gates lies in the increased labor intensity of installation work. In addition, the option shown in photo 3 will require precise cutting of the sheet using sheet metal scissors.

It is better to provide solid or combined gates as elements of external fencing, mainly when the territory is located outside the city limits and is visited by the owners only periodically.

Types of forged gates: photos of various designs

The structures that are used for passages in gates and fences are classified according to several parameters. First of all, by the material from which they are made. And also these devices are differentiated according to a feature that emphasizes how visible they are. Don't forget about their dimensions. Depending on the degree of viewing, the following products are found:

• open;
• closed.

Through the open type of forged gate you can see what is on the site

Open gates . Such forged structures are also called through. This is explained quite simply: they are not a continuous fabric. Such models consist of metal rods that do not have connecting shielding, so the territory of the site is visible through them. Photos of forged gates of this type allow you to appreciate their elegance and originality.

Closed structures . In addition to forged metal elements, blind gates include a protective sheet covering. The material for shielding such doors can be an ordinary metal sheet of any texture.

Note! When installing blind structures, materials such as polycarbonate, wood and corrugated sheets are actively used.

The closed type of forged gate prevents strangers from looking into the area

The advantage of blind doors is obvious: they protect the area from the views of passers-by. This explains the popularity of this type of gate. Photos of forged products of this type make it possible to examine them in natural conditions at the installation site. This allows you to make the right decision and not make mistakes when ordering a design.

Combination wickets. Such products combine the features of the two previous types. Most often, combined gates have a solid design with an open part at the bottom, which is decorated with openwork forging. However, the through part can also be located in the upper zone.

Combination-type forged gates combine elements of an open and closed version

Types of gates by functionality and dimensions

These products are also classified according to their functional purpose, according to which they can be differentiated into 2 types:

• to enter;
• for entry.

The width of the forged gate can be more than 3 meters

The width of entrance devices is traditionally smaller than those used for travel. As a rule, this parameter does not exceed 1.5 m. Entrance structures can have a width of up to 3 m (sometimes more, depending on need). Forged gates and wickets for a private home are also classified according to their height. According to this indicator, wickets are divided into the following types:

• low – no more than 1 m;
• medium - from 1 to 1.8 m;
• high – more than 1.8 m.

An open gate looks best with a fence of the same type

Blind versions of the products look harmonious in combination with the same fences. Moreover, this does not mean that such fences are less presentable. They can be decorated with artistic forging, but such elements must be correctly placed on the canvas. Color harmony in this case is also important. In turn, open models of gates go well with the same fences. In order to learn to recognize and correctly apply different models of these structures, it is recommended to study photos of gates with wickets.

Wickets can be installed both in gates and as a passage through a fence. In the second case, they can be located behind the house, serving as a back door. Separately, it is worth mentioning that sliding structures are very popular. Photos of forged sliding gates with a wicket allow you to clearly evaluate their advantages.

You can decorate the gate using original forged elements

Forging elements can be located in a vertical or horizontal plane and decorated with additional figured components. To create original decor, forged figurines of flora and fauna, various signs and coats of arms are used.

Gates with a wicket for a private house: material of manufacture

The development of industry has influenced the emergence of new materials that look good together with forged rods and artistic metal elements. The most acceptable option is the use of polycarbonate, which has a wide range of colors. Classic combinations also do not go out of fashion and are quite common, although they are more expensive (for example, wood with metal).

Note! If you decide to make a combination of forged metal rods and wooden canvas, then it is worth remembering that you will need to make a fence in the same style.

When creating a gate, forged elements can be combined with other types of materials

If you have a limited budget, you need to pay attention to simpler and more affordable options for wickets and gates. Polycarbonate used as a screen is considered the most profitable solution financially. This material is a stylish and modern design option for forged gates and wickets (photos confirm this).

In some cases, polycarbonate sheets are combined with metal ones. Such a solution will be original, but it requires an understanding of the principles of material compatibility.

When creating a forged open-type gate, only metal is used

Another popular material used in combination with metal forging is corrugated sheeting. The cost of such gates and fences is slightly higher than in the case of polycarbonate screening, but, nevertheless, acceptable for many buyers. This type of structure is assembled from rectangular profiled pipes and sheathed with metal cladding material. Separately, it is worth mentioning that these sheets are resistant to corrosion and have increased strength, as they are made of galvanized steel.

Types of these exquisite and beautiful wrought metal products

A wide range of design solutions allows you to choose the optimal model to solve your problems. Some clients prefer products with an abundance of openwork patterns, while for others functionality and practicality . The types of forged gates presented below, as well as their characteristics, will allow you to make the right choice.

With corrugated sheet (corrugated sheeting), forging on a red background and other colors

Profiled sheets are actively used in the construction of fences and fences. Forged gates are also often complemented with corrugated sheeting, which has a long service life and resistance to weather conditions.

Such products with a metal frame filled with corrugated sheets are distinguished by an attractive design and a more affordable price than completely forged items. On the outside of the gate with corrugated sheets there are patterns of various shapes, which are attached to the frame by welding.

In this case, a popular solution is to use a sheet of bright (contrasting to the frame and patterns) colors: red, blue, green. Thus, the forged ornament looks advantageous, each line is clearly visible, which gives the product even more charm.

With polycarbonate

A forged polycarbonate gate is characterized by practicality and beautiful appearance . The polymer is flexible and light weight, which facilitates installation of the product and reduces the load on the support poles. Polycarbonate allows sunlight and natural light to pass through, but protects from prying eyes .

An important advantage of the polymer is its fairly low cost . Thus, gates with polycarbonate and forged elements have many advantages and are actively used for arranging local areas.

Wooden gates with forging as decoration and forged with wood: oak and other species

Wickets with forged and wooden elements are the most popular. Cold metal is harmoniously complemented by warm and natural wood. In the manufacture of products , deciduous and coniferous wood : oak, birch, poplar, aspen, pine, cedar, larch. The choice mainly depends on the financial capabilities of the client.

Wickets of this type have different quantitative ratios of materials. As a result, the following types of forged gates with wood are distinguished:

• forged products with a small amount of wooden elements;

Shapes: rectangular, arched and others

The configuration of a forged gate can be very diverse . Typical solutions are rectangular and arched products. The shape of the object should be chosen based on the type of gate and fence.

Often gates are made exclusively from forged elements, for example, from leaves, shoots and bunches of grapes. As a result, the product has an arbitrary shape that attracts attention.

With a sideways glance

Gates with a slant have an interesting design, i.e. with a diagonal top . Such products serve mainly for decoration , since they do not have solidity and significant dimensions, which primarily guarantee the safety of the home. Although it is possible to make quite powerful protection of this type.

Transparent and solid (closed)

Transparent gates are a classic product option , as they are assembled from individual forged elements. Openwork patterns of various shapes amaze the imagination, laconic lines and shapes bring calm to the space. The choice depends on the client’s wishes, fence design and landscape.

Antique

Patination is the application of a coating to individual elements of a forged product that imitates the natural patina of antiquity, which has formed over many years. The patina of gold, silver, and copper gives the product an interesting design.

Sizes: small and others

Forged gates have different dimensions. Typical product dimensions are: width – 80-100 cm, height – 1.5-2.0 m . However, non-standard products are provided to customers. This applies to double structures whose width exceeds the standards.

In addition, some local areas are equipped with high fences, the size of which can reach three meters. As a result, in order to obtain a harmonious combination of products in size, the gate must have similar dimensions.

Also, do not forget about small, decorative gates. They serve to arrange the entrance to front gardens, which are decorated using low fences.

Wide

Wide gates include both double products and items with one, but significant in size, leaf.

Openwork and ornate patterns come in different forms, which allows you to create an infinitely large number of products that differ from each other.

Zhikovinas are elements that act as decoration, and sometimes serve as a practical detail. For example, loops decorate the canvas of the gate and act as a fastener for the product to the fence posts. Forged handles, locks, and knockers serve as an excellent addition to housings.

What decor can forged gates have: photos of common designs

Choosing the decor of a gate is a very important task, since the product must not only be combined with a fence or gate, but also fit harmoniously into the landscape of the site. Of course, first of all it is worth determining what type of structure will be installed. Open options look more elegant due to their lightness. They are decorated with classic forged elements, and can also have a complex pattern.

The designs of through types of gates can be very different.

Through lattice products are divided into several types depending on what type of lattice was used in their molding. Today, designs are common, the lattice structure of which is represented by geometric shapes. These can be rectangles, squares, as well as diamonds and circles. It is also worth noting that there are gates that have an unconventional design. Photos of gates and gates with different grilles allow you to make the right choice of design.

Lattice products are classified according to one more criterion - decoration of the upper segment. The top can be smooth or have a textured surface. It is also often decorated with various figured elements (for example, arcs or peaks). The domestic market offers a wide variety of models that differ in decor (this is confirmed by photos of gates with forged gates). The price of these products depends on the intricacy of the design and the amount of material.

Locks, CCTV cameras and other equipment are often installed on forged gates.

Various locks can be installed on the gate. Mechanical devices are most often used, but electrical varieties are also found. In addition, such structures are often equipped with additional elements that simplify their use and increase the degree of security. For example, video surveillance systems are very popular.

Note! If you decide to make such a design yourself, then do not forget that all additional elements must be indicated in the sketch of the forged gate.

It should be said that these structures are often equipped with lanterns that provide the necessary lighting. Various surveillance equipment, such as cameras and motion sensors, are also popular.

Lighting fixtures are also installed on forged metal gates.

Peculiarities

When choosing a gate for a suburban area, you need to consider the following points:

• purpose - decorative fencing, protection from prying eyes, street dust, construction of an impenetrable fence, etc.;
• landscape features - flat area, hilly terrain or installation on a pre-prepared foundation. This affects the complexity of manufacturing the installation and ultimately the price of a forged gate;
• climatic conditions. Depending on the local climate, the gate must be resistant to high or low temperatures, high humidity, etc.

In the photo of forged gates you can clearly see the various variations of such structures and methods of their installation.

Choosing a style for forged structures: wickets, gates, fences

The stylistic direction of the design is selected depending on various factors. It is very important that the gate matches the fence or looks beautiful and organic in an ensemble with it. It is also worth paying attention to the decor of the site and residential buildings located within its boundaries. And finally, a lot depends on the personal preferences of the owners of the territory.

Forged gates can be presented in various styles

Today, gates with forged figured elements are produced not only in ancient, classic styles. The price of forged gates with a wicket made in this way is quite high. Therefore, modern designs are also very popular. Entrance or entry doors can be made in the following styles:

• Renaissance;
• baroque;
• modern;
• minimalism.

Gates with a large number of forged elements are difficult to make with your own hands

The first two directions are distinguished by their luxurious design, as can be seen when viewing photos of forged gates. It is quite difficult to create such a structure with your own hands, since it includes a large number of complex artistic elements. Often such products are found in ancient estates and places that are designated as architectural monuments. Of course, the cost of these gates is very high.

Designs made in the Art Nouveau style look stylish and original. The peculiarity of this direction is that intertwining geometric shapes can be traced on the canvas of the gate. The price of a forged gate made in the Art Nouveau or postmodern style is more reasonable.

For areas in a modern style, it is better to use gates in a minimalist design

Gates in the minimalist style are best suited for installation in areas that have a modern design. Such products are distinguished by their directness and completeness of form. In this case, the design may contain laconic lines or similar, repeating simple patterns, as well as an accentuating geometric figure.

Forged structures

Skilled craftsmen make metal products - a real work of art. Therefore, their cost is quite high. For manufacturing, a malleable material is taken, the carbon content of which should not exceed 0.12–0.14%.

Before installing a forged gate structure, it is advisable to select a suitable sample from the photo in advance. An expensive metal structure is suitable only for the corresponding house, local area, or fence. The wrought iron door for the entrance to the site looks beautiful with the same railings on the porch adjacent to the building.

The main advantages of forged structures:

1. Strength and durability. Forged material will last for decades.
2. Easy to care for. The metal does not require special care, only occasionally painting and lubricating the hinges.
3. Compatibility with other materials. Forging with stone, wood, brick, polycarbonate will look good.
4. Handmade originality.
5. Environmentally friendly.

Among the disadvantages of such gates are heavy weight and high price. Through the openwork door, you can clearly see people on the site who may not be comfortable with public viewing. This problem is completely solvable, you just need to use metal sheets or polycarbonate as a base.

A version of a forged iron gate is shown in the photo below.

Some tips for choosing forged gates and gates: photos and prices

When choosing a forged structure, you need to pay attention to its appearance: it should be in harmony with the garden area. The technical characteristics of the models also play an important role. Of course, these products, regardless of type, have a longer service life when compared with conventional fences. However, the material must have high strength and be resistant to negative environmental influences.

All elements of the gate must be coated with an anti-corrosion agent

Note! Before purchasing a particular gate model, it is recommended to ask the seller whether it has anti-corrosion protection.

Galvanized structures are the most attractive and can be used even in difficult climatic conditions. Before purchasing a product, it is advisable to study photos of forged gates with wickets inside. Gates that have such a passage are the most common solution. These designs are used everywhere.

You can design a forged gate yourself

Today it is possible to manufacture forged products according to individual drawings. This solution allows you to create a unique design that will highlight the individuality of your site. However, such products usually have a high price. Photos of sketches of forged gates, made in a single version, clearly demonstrate the individual qualities of such structures.

An important factor in the choice, and sometimes the main one, is the price of a forged gate. Photos and sketches of these designs may differ greatly from each other. The cost of inexpensive, standard models is 2-9 thousand rubles. for 1 m². The price per square of more expensive models can reach up to 50 thousand rubles.

The cost of a forged gate depends on the features of the chosen model.

Gate made of metal picket fence

Whatever material the fences are made of, a gate with a door can be made from a European picket fence. The material is in demand in the construction market.

Metal picket fence

Metal picket gates have the following advantages:

1. Do not rot or corrode. The euro picket fence is made of galvanized steel and coated with polymers in 2 layers.
2. Long-term operation. The product will last about 50 years.
3. Easy to transport. The picket fence is light, packed in bundles, and does not take up much space.
4. Variety of colors and textures. Application for various fences and structures.
5. Convenient size. The planks have the following parameters: length is 0.5–3 m, width – 70–128 mm.
6. Variety of designs. There are many options for decorating your front door. You can change the width and height of the planks, install them in one or two rows, as well as at different distances from each other.
7. A metal picket fence is easy to install yourself. Even alone, you can align the slats along a stretched thread or cord, securing them with self-tapping screws.
8. The product does not require regular maintenance. If the picket fence is damaged, you just need to replace the strips.

Instructions for making a forged gate yourself: preparatory stage

The decorative features of such structures primarily depend on the method by which the gate was made. There are two popular methods for producing forged products: cold forging and hot forging. In the first case, various forms and devices are used for production, through which the metal is bent. This method is the most popular today, as it allows you to make a forged gate with your own hands.

Hot forging is not so common, as it requires professional equipment. Some craftsmen use budget tools (for example, a gas burner) to heat metal rods.

To make a forged gate with your own hands, you need to create a sketch

Before you begin to independently assemble a forged structure, you should carry out appropriate preparation. Such work includes two actions: drawing up a sketch and organizing the markings. If necessary, you can take a ready-made sketch of a forged gate from the Internet. Photos of such drawings can be easily found on specialized websites. In addition, you will need to prepare all the tools necessary for this work:

• machine (for molding shaped parts);
• welding equipment;
• hammer;
• pliers and pincers;
• file.
• yardstick.

Forged gate and fence can be located at different heights

Helpful information! The main thing that needs to be done when drawing up a diagram is to determine the dimensions of the future structure. Experts note that the fence and gate should be located at the same level (height). In addition, it is recommended to choose the same profiled pipes for the frame of the product as for a gate or fence (for example, 40 by 40 mm).

The project must take into account what material the shaped elements will be formed from. As a rule, rods with a diameter varying from 10 to 14 mm are used for these purposes. These sizes are ideal for individual parts of forged gates and wickets. Sketches, photos, as well as assembly instructions - all this must be taken into account during work.

When creating a gate with your own hands, you need to think about materials for artistic elements

Advantages and disadvantages

The key advantage is its attractive appearance. Such gates look solid and stylish. The gate can be equipped with additional decorative elements that improve aesthetic qualities. This makes it possible to implement various design ideas.

There are various sketches of forged gates online. You can make a design based on a ready-made sketch or develop your own unique model.

With proper arrangement of rods in the structure, the gate will provide a high level of security, not inferior to blind high fences.

It is not recommended to make a large distance between the rods; this may increase the risk of unauthorized entry of unauthorized persons into the site.

Due to the manufacturing of metal, such structures are strong and durable. They can last for decades, especially with proper care.

Stores where you can buy forged gates, as a rule, additionally offer various protective coatings that can significantly extend the service life of the product and make it more aesthetically pleasing.

The main disadvantage of the designs is the relatively high cost. Such a gate will cost slightly more than a simple fence and gate made of wood or profiled sheet. But this disadvantage is compensated by the durability of the structure.
