Installing a gate from a profile pipe

Surely everyone who has a summer cottage or a private house would like to feel as comfortable as possible there, and, most importantly, safe. You can achieve the desired by installing a gate from a profile pipe. Gates from a profile pipe can be both sliding and hinged type. Regardless of the type of gate you choose, you can easily install a radio control system for opening and closing the gate on them.

Moreover, a gate made of profile pipes can serve not only as a protective fence, but also as a decoration of your yard from the outside.

Profile pipes have the following technical characteristics:

  1. They have the best value.
  2. Reliable and durable in use.
  3. They have a small mass.
  4. Virtually non-corrosive.
  5. Excellent resistance to various mechanical influences.

Almost every person can make a gate from profile pipes with their own hands, without the help of specialists. To do this, you do not need to have any special skills, but it is quite enough to be able to use welding, a drill, a grinder and at least be able to draw a little.

The most important task when creating a gate is to draw up a drawing correctly, as well as to acquire high-quality and proven material for your design.

A gate made of a profile pipe has both positive and negative qualities. To begin with, consider the positive aspects of building a gate from profile pipes with your own hands:

  • Relatively simple manufacture and installation;
  • Low complexity of earthworks, which mainly consist in making holes for support pillars;
  • Sufficiently long service life;
  • Acceptable cost;
  • Pretty attractive appearance;
  • Corrosion resistance, but only if the complete absence of damage to the upper protective layer of the structure is guaranteed.

Now consider the disadvantages that a self-built gate made of profile pipes has:

  • There is a possibility of deformation due to any mechanical impact;
  • There is no sound insulation at all;
  • In the event of any damage, even seemingly minor, corrosion can occur.

Choosing equipment and consumables for installation

To install and create a gate from a profile pipe with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

  • Self-tapping screws for working with metal materials;
  • hinges;
  • Lock;
  • Profile pipe 100 * 100 millimeters for support pillars;
  • Profile pipe 40 * 20 millimeters for jumpers;
  • Profile pipes 50 * 50 millimeters for the gate frame;
  • Forging (optional);
  • Primer for metal;
  • Metal paint;
  • Surface finishing material for doors, such as corrugated sheet.

In addition, to make a gate from a profile pipe with your own hands, you will need the following tools:

  • Drill;
  • A hammer;
  • Level;
  • electrodes;
  • Automatic welding;
  • Grinding wheel;
  • Roulette for taking measurements;
  • Bulgarian.

Stages of work

Gates with wicket doors made of shaped pipes are made in several stages, and each of them requires special care. So, what are the steps for manufacturing a gate with a wicket from a profile pipe?

  1. We make a design drawing.
  2. We purchase consumables for work.
  3. We mark materials; cutting materials.
  4. We weld profile pipes in the previously created metal frame of the gate.
  5. We strengthen the frame of the structure; weld loops; install the frame on the support pillars.
  6. We cover the frame with a primer.
  7. We paint the frame.
  8. We sew the frame.
  9. We decorate the frame.

Swing type gate with wicket door

Swing gates with a wicket are the simplest type of gate that you can easily do yourself, without outside help. How to make a swing gate with a gate from profile pipes?

In order to make this type of gate, you need to perform the following steps in stages:


If you will upholster with wooden boards, then before that they need to be varnished. If you decide to decorate your gate with forged elements, then you need to weld them with the gate frame.

Sliding type gate with wicket door

Many people consider sliding gates to be a great luxury that not everyone can afford, but this is not so. Today, not only rich people can afford this type of gate.

Naturally, you can make all the videos with your own hands, and it will cost you much less, but not everyone can do it with high quality.

Sliding, or as they are also called, sliding gates, are considered one of the most convenient types of gates.

This type of gate is quite simple to manufacture and install, which means that you can easily install them yourself. The main condition that must be observed in the manufacture of a fence from a profiled sheet is the accuracy of the calculations. For example, a metal frame must be made strictly in accordance with the dimensions and without any horizontal deviations. The manufacture of sliding gates with a wicket gate from profile pipes is made from the following materials:

  • Metal frame;
  • Roller mechanism;
  • Profiled sheets or some other material.

The manufacture and installation of sliding gates is carried out in the following sequence:

Ready-made gates with a wicket door made of profiled pipes and profiled sheets

  • Calculate the dimensions of the structure;
  • Calculate the mass of the structure;
  • Make a drawing;
  • Purchase the necessary materials;
  • mark the material;
  • cut material;
  • Weld the structure;
  • Install sliding fittings;
  • Install the frame;
  • Prime and paint gates
  • Sheathe the frame;
  • Weld the frame with forging (optional);
  • Install radio control (optional).

But before proceeding to manufacture, you must definitely make a drawing of the future design. When developing a drawing, you will certainly keep in mind that there should be a gap on the side that will be equal to half the size of your gate. In order for them to serve for a long time, you need to correctly calculate the mass of the structure and decide on the material.

First of all, you need to concrete the supporting pillars in a vertical arrangement, and after that you can pour the foundation. The depth of the foundation and the immersion of the supports into the ground must be at least a meter, and the length of the foundation must be half the width of the gate.

The manufacture of the frame consists in welding metal corners in a checkerboard pattern with an interval of thirty centimeters. The guide is fixed on the lower edge of the metal frame, after which profiled sheets are attached to the finished frame. At the last stage, a roller platform is fixed on the foundation, the upper part of which is fixed on the supporting pillars. After that, the vertical position of the gate is checked using a level.
