Welding A Gate Frame. Weld fully both sides of all the cross members where they meet the frame. Its important to make sure the frame is sitting flat.
It shows how a. So if you have a gate on your to-do list then dont think its out of the question to build one yourself. The main materials for a security gate are steel channel with box section and round bar.
Tack the gate together first dont do full welds to start with because the heat will pull the whole frame out of shape always tack weld in the middle of the join first as this will be strong enough to hold the frame together to begin with and allows the full weld to be done neatly after.

Align the mesh on one end then use wire cutters to cut excess mesh just flush with the other end of the frame. Pair the gate frame with stained wood PVC composite corrugated metal welded wire or any type of light-weight rigid material to build a gate with the exact look you want. After welding all four corners on all sides a piece of scrap metal was tack welded on the bottom of the front frame to brace it at 15 inches.
