If you choose to install on a site near the sliding house goal, Do not rush to the checkout process. Installation work can be done by hand. Each design has its own featuresThat it is worth to know in advance. We offer to meet with existing types of structures and their installation. This will allow you to opt for the best option for your portion.

As manufactured rail sliding doors with their hands: Procedure

This design has been extensively used due to its simplicity and accessibility. The system assumes the presence of a special rail, fixed on the ground surface, and rollers is attached to the bottom of the gate. During the opening of the flap is displaced along a rail at the required distance. We offer to find out how such a structure is mounted.

Needed to work tools and materials

For the installation should be kept in stock:

• welding machine;
• the saw;
• grinders;
• screwdriver;
• Manual bench tools.

For the manufacture of the slide rail structure required pipe profile of various sections, for material webs, fasteners, fittings, concrete mortar.

Preparing the ground for the motor mechanism

The base is formed with an inner side portion along fence. For preparing the foundation pit width of 0.5 m and a depth of 1.5-2 m. The last parameter depends on the depth of soil freezing. The length of the trench for sliding system is twice the width of the gate.

shaped pad on the bottom of the trench gravel or a mixture of gravel and sand. Performed reinforcement. For the manufacture of the frame is advantageously used fittings diameter 10 mm. produced pouring concrete mixConsisting of one part cementTwo sand and gravel four. Fill produce gradually, with no change in the position of installed components.

Installing the supporting pillars and installation guides

After drying concrete solution to begin assembly and installation of guide supporting pillars. The rail must be positioned horizontally and parallel railing. To provide the desired spatial position of the element, pulls along the thread of the concrete base. By the concrete base fasten the guide for sliding design.

install supporting pillars perform the following steps:

	Perform counting, and a location diameter defining a supporting elements. They should be located close enough to form the basis.
	We produce land recess at the desired depth, taking into account the level of soil freezing and operational load. Established supporting columns must withstand sliding doors, taking into account the wind load.
	Mount the supporting pillars. With the level of carefully control their spatial position in all planes. For fixing supports use concrete mortar.

Production of cloth sliding gates

If not finished fabric sliding gates, guided drawing, produce his own hands. The work should be carried out in a horizontal plane, expanding structural elements on a flat surface. First weld frame and then fastened thereto the facing material.

Installation structures and fittings

Having made the gate, proceed to install them. For this:

Illustration	Description of the action
	To the bottom of the web mounted on rollers. fastening method depend on the design features of the selected hardware.
	Fasten the restraints that prevent leaf slip on the pillars, and the elements of the locking system. Castle must have an appropriate design concept. If the double-wing system can be welded to each flap ears padlock. Canvas set on the guide rail and check the performance of the assembled structure.

Installation with his hands hanging sliding gates

Suspension systems assume a top guide beams, fastened at the top of the opening. A roller mechanism is attached to the top of the sash. When you open the gate rollers rolling along the rail. The construction has high strength and saves space. Let's see in more detail how to perform the installation of such suspension sliding structures.

Needed to work tools and materials

The list of materials and tools will depend upon the gate. Some manufacturers offer ready-made kits, when installing that you can do without welding equipment. If your hands will be carried out not only installation but also the production of the gate, in addition to the work required svarochnika LBM, And the measuring standard joiner's tools.

From the materials must be kept in stock:

• various profiled tube section;
• fasteners;
• accessories;

• concrete mortar;
• supporting columns;
• decking or other material for the decoration of leaves.

Making the frame

Manufacturing of the carcass in the following sequence:

Illustration	Description of the action
	frame members is cut off in size and welded together. Carefully monitor the relative position of each part, as well as the diagonal formed by the frame. First we catch elements, controlling their position, and then finally weld. To provide sufficient accuracy it is desirable to use multiple measuring instruments.
	To the outer frame welds inner profile having a minimal cross-section.
	Guided drawing, welds with their own hands the other elements of the frame sliding gates.

Installing the web and the castle mount

Perform trim manufactured carcass selected pictures. Fasteners must have a matching color. Set the lock.

Production and installation frame

U shaped tube size of 40 × 40 mm² with a wall thickness of 4 mm saw through longitudinal slot 6 mm wide. It will be used as the upper guide rail on which rollers are movable structure. Prepared the guide is attached to the supporting columns, placed on both sides of the passage. The length of the guide should be twice the width of the flap.

Installation and fitting guides

Work is carried out in the following sequence:

Illustration	Description of the action
	Of the metal sheet 4-5 mm thick cut out two triangles with a side of 12 cm. At the vertices of the triangle holes drilled in them and place segments of rods of 2.5 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter.
	We check the ratio of geometrical parameters of the supporting triangle and a groove formed in the guide. The triangle should move freely.
	On the axis of the supporting triangles set bearings. The resulting carriage will move within the guide, therefore, the diameter of the outer ring poles should be appropriate.
	The third vertex of the triangle fasten the supporting part for the gate. With it, the carriage will be welded to the sash frame.
	Set the shutter. mount limitersWhich does not allow the leaf to go beyond the guide. We check the availability of the system.

Procedure for the manufacture of their own hands cantilever sliding gates

The most difficult type of sliding gates. The basis structure of a console, which is also sometimes called the channel bar. Its main function is to provide the required flap position when opening and closing the gate. Guide beam and pulleys normally fixed at the bottom of the sash. The absence of the guide allows the free movement of transport on the land areaHowever care should be taken when installing the device reliable foundation. We offer to find out in more detail in the order of execution of works.

Needed to work tools and materials

To install your own hands, it is necessary to have in place:

• grinders;
• svarochnik;
• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• shovel;
• level;
• measuring tool.

Also it is necessary to prepare the following materials and everything you need to prepare a reinforcing layer:

• concrete mortar;
• channel, whose width is equal to the half-width gates;
• rebar. 17-18 segments required length of 1 m;
• material for the web;
• fasteners;
• electrodes;
• pipes;
• primer;
• paint.

Tip! To calculate the necessary amount of material should develop a detailed drawing.

aperture arrangement

Installation works begin with the arrangement of the opening. For this:

Illustration	Description of the action
	Previously gates were standing, they should be removed. If the supporting pillars are strong enough and can withstand operational loads, you can leave them.
	Mount the supporting pillars. To do this, dig a hole deep enough, or using piles.

Substrate preparation

Prepare by pouring the base concrete base or bases to form the metal screw piles. In the latter case, only two piles, one of which is part of the support post.

Production of door leaf

The door leaf is made as follows:

Illustration	Description of the action
	Welded frame, in accordance with the developed drawing. The spatial position of each element is carefully controlled at each stage of assembly.
	To the top of the frame with his hands corner welds, which will hold the shutter sliding gates in an upright position.

Installation of shutters and accessories

We move on to the next step. It is necessary to prepare all the support and secure the hardware.

Illustration	Description of the action
	Welded to the base of the roller bearings. If the base is made of concrete, fasten them using anchors.
	Set the rollers, guide beam. The spatial position of each element carefully controlled using a level.
	Install woodwork.
	Mount rack with supporting rollers. Welds it to the ground, providing a secure fixing using brackets.
	By the doorway welds guides for the gate. Sheathe the selected frame pictures.
