Do-it-yourself gate made of corrugated sheets: step-by-step manufacturing instructions


To obtain an unusual door leaf, it has become popular to use forging techniques. The product is unique, elegant, and emphasizes the status of the owners of the site.

A forged fence gate is made entirely of metal or combined with other materials. In any case, for independent construction you need to have a number of skills and special equipment.

Users often search for:

  • Polycarbonate fence on a metal frame
  • Installation of a metal picket fence

How to choose the size of a gate made of corrugated sheets?

There are no strict mandatory standards or restrictions regarding the size of gates. However, when choosing them, you need to consider the following:

  1. The optimal width of a gate made of corrugated sheets is 1.0 m. This opening width allows you to easily bring furniture or other large items onto the site. Moreover, if it is larger, this can lead to rapid wear of the hinges or skewing of the gate cloth.
  2. The height of the gate should not exceed 2.0 meters. If the fence around the site is high, then such a gate made of corrugated sheets will not look very good. In this case, in the opening between the support pillars above it, it is better to install additional crossbars with a metal profile insert. This will allow you not to overly weigh down the canvas of the gate itself.

Naturally, there are exceptions to these rules. For example, if your height or the height of someone in your family is above 2.0 meters, then making a gate from high-height corrugated sheets will be simply necessary. However, you should not forget about using special hinges and strengthening the frame with additional cross members.

We install the gate

Usually they do this:

  1. A wooden block is placed under the finished frame.
  2. The places where the second part of the loops are fastened are marked on the post.
  3. The frame is leveled.
  4. The distance from the ground is at least 10 cm. This is necessary for the smooth operation of the door in winter.
  5. Both parts of the loops are connected to each other by welding.
  6. Check the functioning of the sash. If no errors are found, then the loops pass through a continuous weld.

A suspended gate should not open spontaneously. To open only one side, a limiter is welded to the post opposite to the hinges.

Installation of support pillars

The first and one of the most labor-intensive stages of work is the installation of support posts on which the metal profile gate will be supported, with your own hands. This is not difficult to do, but it will take quite a lot of time, especially when it comes to brickwork.

There are two options for installing a fence made of profiled sheets. The first and simplest is the option of attaching the fence to poles made of metal pipes dug into the ground. In the second option, a fence with a gate and a wicket made of corrugated sheets is attached to pillars made of brick or stone.

Using metal support posts

The use of profiled sheets for the manufacture of entrance groups has become so widespread because making wickets and gates from corrugated sheets is very simple and inexpensive. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, metal pipes are used as supports. They are much easier, cheaper and faster to install than brick ones.

a profile pipe of 80x80 mm with a wall thickness of 3-4 mm is best suited . To install them, holes are dug in the ground with a size of at least 300x300 mm and a depth of at least 1.0 m.

The depth of the holes depends on the type of soil where the pillars are installed. If the soil is rocky, then 70 cm will be enough. But if the soil is clayey, the depth of the holes should be no less than the freezing depth of the soil. In most regions of the middle zone it is 1.2 m.

be careful

Installing a gate made of corrugated sheets on insufficiently deepened pillars in heaving soil leads to serious deformations of the frame and canvas, the correction of which is often impossible.

Support pillars made of brick or stone

In this case, the dimensions of the foundation must be larger than the cross-section of the support column. Typically, such pillars are made of 1.5 bricks, that is, 390x390 mm. Therefore, the foundation must be no smaller than 500x500 mm. Since it is much more difficult to make such posts for a gate from corrugated sheets yourself, this option is chosen less often.

The brickwork itself does not withstand bending loads well, so to give the pillar additional strength, a metal pipe is installed in the hole before the foundation is poured with concrete. Around it the masonry is made of brick or stone. Metal embeds are welded to the same pipe, which are removed outside the masonry. Gates and wickets made of corrugated sheets will subsequently be installed on them.

The top of metal support posts should be capped to prevent moisture from entering the post. If you plan to install lamps near the gate, then before concreting the pillars in them, you need to tighten the wire in a corrugated pipe.

Placing forging elements

Today, two options are used to create forged decorative parts. The first of them is called cold. The metal is given the required shape by bending without using high temperatures. Such elements are inexpensive, and the range of finished products is sufficient so that, with minimal imagination, you can effectively decorate a wicket and gate. Among the disadvantages of such solutions, one can note lower wear resistance compared to traditionally forged parts. Plus - accessibility, allowing you to create an original gate at minimal financial costs.


The range of stamped forged products is quite wide

Hot forging makes it possible to create truly exclusive parts of the most bizarre shapes. The downside is the difficulty of making it yourself. You need not only a solid list of equipment, but also experience, without which an ornate rose can turn into a dull, shapeless bud. The cost of such a solution, ordered from specialists, will be many times more expensive than stamped elements purchased at the nearest building materials store.


Creating original parts through hot forging

The list of elements that can be used to decorate and strengthen a gate made of corrugated sheets is extensive. This:

  • openwork details placed at the corners of the gate, in its upper, middle or lower part;
  • forged caps that protect and at the same time decorate concrete, brick, and metal support pillars;
  • hinges for fastening the sash, latches, handles, latches, emphasizing the overall style;
  • decoration of the top of the gate, fence or gate, which not only decorates, but also protects against access by uninvited guests;
  • a forged rod, which, if skillfully placed on the gate canvas, can become a worthy addition to it.


By decorating the gate with forging, you emphasize your own good taste and make the exterior of the house harmonious

Pre-prepared elements are laid out on a horizontal surface, creating the necessary pattern. The parts are attached by welding. After this, all parts and joints to which they were welded are carefully ground. This makes the structure as durable as possible. If necessary, the welding process is repeated. The metal is degreased and coated with an anti-corrosion compound, without missing a single seam. The surface of the frame and forged parts must be painted, paying special attention to curls and clamps.

Advice! Artificially aged forging looks original and stylish. For this, a patina is used that harmonizes with the metal and looks good in an ensemble with dark corrugated board.

Preparing parts for the frame

While the concrete mixture in the foundations of the support pillars gains the necessary strength, you can start assembling the gate itself. Before you make a gate from corrugated sheets with your own hands, you need to make a frame for it.

For the frame, take a profile pipe 40x40 mm or 60x30 mm . A light small gate can also be made from a 40x20 pipe, but then to give the frame the necessary rigidity, the pipe must be placed with its narrow side facing the corrugated sheet metal sheathing.

A layer of crushed stone is poured into the bottom of the pit and thoroughly compacted. Then the pillars are installed strictly vertically, using a level, and the hole is filled with concrete mixture. Gates and gates made from metal profiles can be hung on concreted pipes no sooner than after 5-6 days. This time is necessary for the concrete to gain at least 20-30% of its strength.

In order to avoid mistakes when preparing parts, before cutting the pipe it is better to first draw a sketch or make a drawing of a gate made of corrugated sheets with all the necessary dimensions. An example of such a drawing is given below.

Detailed drawing of a metal profile gate

The prepared pipe is cleaned of rust using a metal brush and cut into pieces of the required length. To assemble, the edges of the workpieces are cut at an angle of 45°.

In addition, in order to make a gate from corrugated sheets, it is necessary to cut one or two crossbars, depending on its height, which should fit closely between the large sides of the frame. This will make the structure more rigid and subsequently make it easier to install the lock.

We put up pillars

The most popular material option for supports is metal pipes. They install quickly, are inexpensive, reliable and last a long time.

For racks, it is recommended to take a profile with a cross-section of 80*80 mm with a wall thickness of 3 mm. The size of the holes for the posts is from 30*30 cm, with a depth of at least 1 m.

The exact depth indicator is selected depending on the type of soil and climatic conditions of the region. It should be below the soil freezing level so that the supports do not begin to be pushed out under the influence of frost heaving.

Metal pillars can be dug in, but it is much safer to concrete them.

We recommend: “Step-by-step instructions for concreting supports.”

On peaty and marshy soils, it is recommended to install screw piles.

On stable soils, it is allowed to lay brick and stone supports. In this case, a reliable foundation will be required.

To increase the reliability of stone pillars, masonry is performed around a metal pipe. Mortgages are welded to it, which will protrude beyond the masonry. They are needed to secure the gate to the supports.

Wood is not suitable as a support due to its low resistance to moisture and limited service life.

Welding the gate frame

The workpieces are connected to each other by welding. To prevent the frame from being deformed, before making a gate from a profiled sheet, the blanks must be secured from a profile pipe in a homemade jig .

It's very easy to make:

  1. Take an OSB sheet with a thickness of at least 10 mm or a sheet of thick plywood.
  2. A canvas is cut out of it, the width and height of which must be at least 50 mm larger than the planned dimensions of the gate.
  3. Clamps are prepared that will hold the frame elements, pressing the metal profiles to the surface of the sheet. There should be twice as many clamps as welds.

Before welding a gate from corrugated sheets, all angles are carefully checked and the diagonals of the frame are measured. One or two crossbars are installed between the upper and lower lintels of the gate frame. Then clamps are installed, which should be located a short distance from the welding site.

Diagram of how to weld a gate from corrugated sheets using a jig made from an OSB board and clamps

After fixing all the frame elements on the jig, you need to once again check the angles and parallelism of the opposite sides of the frame. Then you can start welding. In this case, the clamps cannot be removed until the seams have completely cooled down - otherwise, temperature stresses in the metal can deform and even destroy the metal. After welding is completed, all joints are cleaned.

Thanks to this welding technology, even a complete beginner can make a gate from a corrugated sheet with his own hands. At the same time, even if you have some experience in welding, I do not recommend neglecting the fixation of the workpiece. Remember that making a new frame after accidental damage to the old one will take longer and will cost more than making a simple jig.

In small summer cottages, gates with a wicket made of corrugated sheets are often installed. All operations for assembling the wicket frame built into the door leaf are performed in the same way as those described above. The design of the gate is subject to change, in which an opening must be provided for installation. In addition, the need to build in a gate imposes certain restrictions on its height.

How to decorate a gate

There are many options for beautiful design design. Here are a few ways to improve the look of your gate:

  1. It's worth starting with the form. If the owners do not want a standard rectangular gate, then they should think about an arched gate. It will be perfectly complemented by a small rounded visor. This issue must be considered at the stage of developing the fence drawing.
  2. A welded grille can be inserted in the middle of the sash.
  3. Beautiful street lamps can be mounted on poles.
  4. A great way to decorate the sash is to add forging elements. You can buy them ready-made or order them according to your design from a blacksmith. In this case, the corrugated sheet serves as a background for decorative designs.

When using forging, it is important not to overdo the quantity so that the load on the hinges does not reach the maximum value.

The parts are fastened by welding to the door frame. Elements are primed or painted before fastening.

Reinforcing the sash with metal parts is an excellent protection against burglary and unauthorized entry into the estate.

If you have the tools and the ability to operate a welding machine, it will not be difficult for estate owners to assemble a gate with their own hands. If you don’t have construction skills and don’t have free time to build a fence with a gate, then it’s better to turn to specialists. They will make a turnkey fence taking into account all the wishes of the customer.

Installation of fittings on metal profile gates

After assembling the gate frame, but before covering the frame with a metal profile, hinges and plates are welded to the gate for installing a lock and handle, if necessary.

The hinges for the gate made of corrugated sheets are installed towards each other and secured with welds 1-2 cm long. The hinges are placed so that the sheet cannot be removed after final installation. With this installation, the gate can only be cut with a grinder. Attach the loops at a distance of 25-30 cm from the upper and lower edges of the canvas.

Installation of hinges on a gate made of corrugated sheets

When choosing a lock for a gate made of corrugated sheets, you must pay attention to the operating conditions specified by the manufacturer in the passport. The lock must be designed for outdoor installation . When choosing a lock core, preference should be given to those that can be opened from the inside without a key. This will save you from problems if the water in the castle freezes in winter.

When opening the door inward, the lock can be either mortise or overhead. If the gate opens outwards, only a mortise lock is placed on it. The lock and handle for a gate made of corrugated sheets are usually installed at a height of approximately 90 cm.

Of the mortise locks, the most convenient are special narrow-profile locks designed for installation in profile pipes. The very principle of their installation partially protects them from moisture and dust, which increases their service life.

Narrow-profile lock for a gate made of corrugated sheets

Before cutting the lock into a gate made of corrugated sheets, you need to mark the location for its installation: a rectangular slot for the body and a circle for the core. In addition, it is better to immediately mark the attachment points for the handle. Next, the installation process is quite simple:

  1. Using a grinder, cuts are made along the long sides.
  2. Using a drill, holes are drilled along the short sides as close to each other as possible. It is necessary to drill not along the marking strip itself, but slightly inside the rectangle.
  3. To install a mortise lock in a gate made of corrugated sheets, the hole is brought to the desired shape using a file.
  4. Round holes for the core are cut out using a metal burr. If it is not available, you can also use contour drilling and finishing with a file.
  5. Holes for mounting screws are drilled.
  6. The area around the lock is cleaned of rust, primed and painted.
  7. The lock is installed on a gate made of corrugated sheets, but without linings - they are installed after the frame has been covered.

This completes the installation of the lock in the frame. However, since putting a lock on a gate made of corrugated sheets is only half the battle, the work does not end there. It is necessary to install the counter part into the support column. This stage is performed after installing the gate on the posts.

Additionally, a lock or latch can be installed on the gate made of corrugated sheets. Such solutions make sense both from the point of view of increasing safety and for convenience - especially if the gate is often used. In this case, it is easier to close it with a latch than to fiddle with the lock every time. You can also immediately purchase a lock with a latch and not install it separately.

Protecting metal from corrosion

All seams are cleaned and degreased. Metal parts are treated with an anti-corrosion agent. This will extend the service life of not only individual parts, but also the entire gate.

During application, the lock body is sealed with masking tape or simply covered with film.

How to install a gate made of corrugated sheets on support posts?

After several days have passed, the concrete mixture in the foundations of the support pillars has gained some of its strength, and the assembly of the frame is completed, you can install the gate from corrugated sheets.

To do this, place a wooden block under the frame. Using a level, the gate is set strictly vertically and the places where the second halves of the hinges are attached are marked on the support post. It must be remembered that for normal opening in winter, the canvas must be 100 mm higher than the surface of the track. Especially if you are installing a gate to a dacha made of corrugated sheets, where snow is rarely cleared in winter.

Having marked the installation locations of the hinges, they are temporarily attached to the support posts using electric welding. After checking the opening and closing of the gate, the hinges are welded with a continuous seam.

Consider

Installing a gate made of corrugated sheets with your own hands requires care and repeated double-checking, since without a “fresh look” from the outside it is easy to make a mistake.
If the gate is installed correctly, it should not open or close spontaneously. To prevent it from opening in both directions, a limiter is welded to the support opposite the hinges.

When the welding work is completed, all seams are cleaned using an angle grinder, and rust is removed from the frame and primed. Then they are painted twice with metal paint for exterior use. The main part of the lock installed in the frame must be covered with film or construction tape.

Metal profile gate frame mounted on poles

This is the penultimate stage before sewing, since you need to install a lock on the gate made of corrugated sheets and in the support post. To do this, the bolt is smeared with toothpaste and the lock is closed. After this, the place where the locking device should go will be marked on the pole.

If the lock is simple and there is no receiving block, then you just need to drill a hole of the desired shape and finish it with a file. If there is a receiving block, then you must first mark its location based on the location where the crossbar enters, and then, again, drill a hole of the desired shape. Then holes for fasteners are drilled and the mating part is installed.

Instructions for making a forged gate with your own hands

Let's look at the main stages of creating a fence leaf with forging elements yourself.

Necessary materials, tools

The list of tools is as follows:

  1. Grinder with a power of 600-800 W. It is not worth using more power, since there is a high risk of getting sloppy cuts.
  2. Electric arc welding machine. Protective mask and set of electrodes. So as not to spoil the appearance of the gate. It is better to practice before starting the connection.
  3. Equipment for cold forging (spiral longitudinal, transverse torsion).
  4. Roller, brushes or spray bottle with compressor. The latter option is expensive, but very convenient for priming and painting a metal surface.
  5. Tape measure, building level, square.
  6. Vise, file - for adjusting parts to size.
  7. Drill, screwdriver.
  8. Hammer.

The rest of the set depends on whether the forged fabric will be solid metal or combined with other raw materials.

Materials you need to prepare:

  1. Loops. For reliability, you should take garage ones with a support or ball bearing.
  2. Profile pipes with a cross section of 60*60*3 mm (for poles).
  3. A profile pipe of square or rectangular section 60*60 mm, 40*20, 40*30 mm is suitable for the gate frame. Wall thickness - at least 2 mm.

To get a durable sash, it is recommended to use metal with a high carbon content. Although it is not cheap, it has a high level of wear resistance and practically does not corrode.

Fabric preparation

In accordance with the preferences of the owners, a sketch of the sash is developed. It is recommended to create a separate drawing for each decorative element.

The next step is assembling the frame. It is formed from profile pipes by welding. To obtain the required size, the pipes are cut with a grinder. It is better to cook parts on a special table. In its absence - semi.

When the frame is ready, you need to move on to creating forged parts. The rods are bent on a machine to the required shape.

To make it easier to work with metal, you can warm it up a little, but cooling it with cold water is strictly prohibited. This will cause the workpiece to harden and stop bending.

The finished parts are laid out inside the frame on a horizontal surface in the order in which they will be welded.

All elements are welded using the tack welding method at low current to the frame. This is the best option for thin metal, so as not to spoil the appearance of the parts. The length of the weld is no more than 1 cm. It is better to cook from the inside so that the front side remains neat.


Photo: welding forged elements to the gate frame

The evenness and symmetry of the elements is checked. Final welding is carried out.

Loops in the amount of 2-3 pieces are attached to the finished gate (depending on the weight of the product). The distance from the bottom of the gate to the first loop is 40 cm, from the ground to the canvas is 8-10 cm.

Protection of metal elements from corrosion

The next step is anti-corrosion treatment of the structure. Grinding wheels for metal are put on the grinder and welding seams, joints, corners are passed, and roughness is eliminated. For cleaning, you can use a metal brush. It is more convenient to carry out grinding when the gate is in a vertical position.

The prepared surface is treated with a primer. Let it dry for a day. After which you can start painting.

An article about suitable products and metal processing, application techniques: “Painting a metal fence.”

Methods of attaching to fence posts

There are 3 options:

  1. The leaf acts as part of the gate. The fence has one common opening in which the gate does not stand out.
  2. As a separate element. The fence has one opening for the gate, the other for the door leaf.
  3. Included with the gate. The wicket and gate are separated by a support pillar.

The optimal material for fence posts with forged doors is metal, namely profiled pipe. The material is durable and easy to install. Copes well with wind and other environmental influences.

Other options for supports are possible (brick, stone, concrete), but the installation process is more complicated.

Fastening wicket hinges by welding

Corners are welded to the metal supports, to which the gate is attached with bolts or welding. The hinges are screwed or welded to the posts. The handle, lock, curtains are fixed in the same way.

Decoration

Although the forged door itself looks aesthetically pleasing, it wouldn’t hurt to add a few original decorations.

A good addition would be a canopy or a small rain canopy. You should carefully consider the choice of lock and handle so that these parts cope well not only with the protective function, but also fit into the overall composition of the door leaf.

It would not be superfluous to attach a street lamp or lamp at the top so that in the evening the entrance to the estate has additional lighting.

Among the technical devices, it is convenient to mount an intercom, surveillance camera or bell on poles near the gate.

If you want to give the canvas an antique effect, then you should use patina - a special composition that is applied with a brush. Available in gold, bronze, silver and other shades.

Sewing a gate made of corrugated sheets

After the paint has dried, the gate canvas is sewn up with a profiled sheet. As a rule, wall corrugated sheeting C-20 or C-21 with a thickness of 0.5-0.6 mm is used for this. The use of sheets with a lower wave height is not recommended.

To fasten the corrugated sheets, roofing screws are used, less often - special rivets. Sometimes bolted connections are used for this, but this is not recommended, since in this case the necessary protection against corrosion is not provided for the web at the point where the bolt passes through the corrugated sheet. The sheets are fastened through each wave horizontally and into each transverse beam vertically.

A gate covered with corrugated sheets with closed corners

If desired, all sides of the gate made of corrugated sheets are covered with special square strips in the color of the corrugated sheet. This gives it a finished look and, in addition, provides additional protection for the frame from moisture.

After sewing the fabric, linings for the lock are installed, as well as a handle for the gate made of corrugated sheets.

Wicket design made of corrugated sheets

After the frame is ready, it's time to think about the design. Despite the comparative simplicity of the design, there can be a lot of design options, including the use of decorative elements.

The simplest gate made of corrugated sheets is a rectangular frame made of a profile or round steel pipe, onto which a profiled metal sheet is attached. Such a gate is perfect for a fence made of corrugated sheets - it will fit especially well into the usual blind fencing of a summer cottage or personal plot. This solution also looks good with a fence made of brick or stone, including when used as supports for pillars made of these materials.

The gate does not have to be rectangular at all. It can be made arched, but this will require minor changes to the structure of the frame. An arched gate under corrugated sheeting looks especially good with a small rounded canopy or canopy.

Beautiful gates made of corrugated sheets of original shapes with forging and canopies

In order to highlight the entrance group in a fence with solid sections made of corrugated sheets, you can leave an opening in the middle of the gate with a decorative steel grille or polycarbonate strip inserted into it. In addition, street lamps can be installed on support poles.

A gate made of corrugated sheets with forging will look even more beautiful. In this case, the profiled sheet will serve as a kind of background for decorative forged parts. In addition, if forged elements cover the entire opening, they strengthen the frame of the gate and make it more resistant to burglary.

Elegant gates made of corrugated sheets with forging elements - photos of four design options of varying complexity

A forged gate from corrugated sheets can be made with your own hands without any problems. Nowadays, ready-made decorative forged parts can be purchased at almost any building materials store. The main thing is not to overdo it with forged elements, so that the gate canvas does not look colorful and overloaded with decor.

To begin with, it is better to draw a sketch of the design of the gate. The parts purchased in accordance with the sketch are laid out on the canvas and welded to the frame, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. However, such gates made of corrugated sheets with forging elements look much worse than the products of real specialists.

A gate made of corrugated sheets with forging - a photo of some forged elements made on production lines, as well as a simple sketch that can be implemented using them.

Firstly, professional artistic forging allows you to produce very elegant and thin elements that cannot be produced industrially. Secondly, the range of ready-made elements is very limited. And thirdly, a forged gate with corrugated sheets, made by a professional, can reflect any idea and is stylistically integral, unlike composite products.

Finally, the gate can be either a separate object or part of the gate. Thus, swing gates with a wicket made of corrugated sheets are often used. This decision is justified if for some reason you are very limited in the size of the entrance group - for example, you are replacing an old gate and want to install new ones on the same support pillars.

Built-in wicket inside a gate made of sliding corrugated sheets

However, this solution has certain disadvantages. In particular, gates with a built-in wicket made of corrugated sheets are heavier and place more stress on the hinges. In addition, the operation of such a gate can cause certain difficulties, since its opening is limited from below and above by the gate frame. As a result, it is easy to get caught on the lower profile, and to hit your head on the upper profile.

Design features, gate dimensions

Malleable fabric consists of intertwined metal rods or sheets, decorated with ornate elements on top.

To obtain a beautiful picture, it is important to correctly develop the drawing so that the details harmoniously complement each other.

In the fencing design, the gate includes:

  • door leaf;
  • pillars to which fastening will be made;
  • loops (fixation elements);
  • lock or latch, handle for closing, opening.

The material for supports is selected individually. Considering the impressive weight of the sash, brick, stone or metal are suitable.

The gate can be mounted either separately or together with the gate.

When calculating the dimensions of the canvas, you should take into account the requirements of SNiP regarding the installation and dimensions of fences in the private sector.


Photo: gate made of corrugated sheets with a forged frame

The averages are as follows:

  1. Width - 1 m. To avoid problems in the future when moving furniture, equipment into the estate should not be greatly reduced.
  2. Height - 2 m. The value varies, since it must be equal to the height of the entire fence.
  3. The depth of the pillars is 1 m. The indicator is calculated for stable soil. For regions with harsh winters and swampy soils, the value will be greater.
  4. The distance of the canvas to the post on the hinge side is 5-6 mm.
  5. Distance to ground ‒ 1‒2 cm.

A handle with a lock for a gate with forged elements is installed at a height of 80–90 cm from the ground.

A popular option is to install one post between the sash and the gate, where the hinges for the wicket and gate are attached on two different sides.

Cost of a gate made of corrugated sheets

How much it will cost to install a gate will depend on how much of the work was done independently, without the involvement of specialists.

When making your own gate

If you did all the work on installing and assembling the gate yourself, you will only have to pay for the materials that were needed for this.
Usually the final cost is up to 2000-2500 rubles. But you don’t have to make the gate yourself. You can buy gates made of metal profiles in the construction departments of most supermarkets. Ready-made gates made of corrugated sheets can also be purchased from specialized companies engaged in the manufacture of metal structures. There you can order the production of such a product according to your own sketch, while receiving free technical advice. When such a gate made of corrugated sheets is installed, its price will be from 4,500 rubles, excluding the cost of locks and hinges.

If for some reason you also had to hire specialists to install a gate made of metal profiles, the price of such work in different regions of the Russian Federation will be from 2100 to 2500 rubles. And this also does not include the cost of installing a lock.
