Instructions for covering the gate with multi-purpose wood-plastic panels with screws
Multi-purpose wood plastic panels when constructing screw-in gate panels have 2 main cases including:
- Horizontal gate cover, vertical bar installation
- Vertical gate cover, horizontal bar installation.
Multi-purpose wood plastic panels when used for gate cladding have a weight of 3kg/bar - 5,3kg/bar (±5%) so they need to be reinforced on a sturdy frame system with a distance between the bars. ≤25cm to ensure user safety.
In addition, the construction area must meet Width ≤6m and height ≤3mIf the area is larger, please switch to using 2-layer ASA-coated wood plastic panels (OP113X16, OP140X12, 4S184X28, 5S169X14, 8S169X14) – This is a lightweight material used for wall cladding, ceiling cladding, and gate cladding with large areas.
Below is the weight table of 2 multi-purpose wood-plastic panel codes at Kosmos Vietnam:
| Product code | Dimensions (mm) | Weight |
| OP71 | 71 x 11 x 3000mm | 3kg/bar (±5%) |
| OP142 | 142 x 10 x 3000mm | 5,3kg/bar (±5%) |
Step 1: Prepare materials and tools for constructing multi-purpose wood-plastic panel for gate cladding with screws
Supplies
Below are 9 types of materials you need to prepare when constructing gate cladding with multi-purpose wood-plastic screw-in panels:
- Skeleton bars (stainless steel, galvanized steel) size ≥25x25mm and thickness ≥1,2mm
- Iron bar
- 1-layer wood plastic multi-purpose bar (OP142, OP71)
- Hex head screw or brass knob screw
- L-shaped iron plate and bracket
- Fish tail stainless steel screw
- Iron anchor
- Swing hinge, gate handle
- Kosmos multipurpose glue.
Tool
6 tools used to construct gates with multi-purpose wood-plastic bars:
- Angle grinder, drill, welder
- Tape measure, protractor, laser machine.
Step 2: Install the gate border
Use 1cm thick iron bars and 4,5cm wide (OP142) or 4,7cm (OP71) (for 25x25mm 1,2mm thick frame bars). Use a welding machine to join the iron bars according to the size of the gate border.
Width of iron bar = Size of bone bar + 2x11mm (OP71 thickness).
Width of iron bar = Size of bone bar + 2x10mm (OP142 thickness).
Step 3: Install the gate frame
Weld stainless steel or galvanized steel bars to the center of the iron bar (gate border), distance between bars ≤25cm. All welds must be smoothed and painted with anti-rust paint.
Horizontal cladding: Bars ≤25cm vertically.
Vertical cladding: Bars ≤25cm horizontally.
Step 4: Build the skeleton into the gate
Before erecting the skeleton into the gate, it is necessary to install the pivot hinges into the bottom and top of the gate post.
Bottom of gate pillar
Fix the gusset plate to the floor with iron anchors and weld the swivel hinge to the gusset plate.
Top of gate post
Fix the L-shaped bracket on the gate pillar with iron plugs, continue to weld the L-shaped bracket to the bracket. Finally weld the swivel hinge to the bracket.
After completing the 2 upper and lower hinges. Continue, weld the skeleton into the position of the 2 hinges. The gate frame needs to leave a gap of 2-3cm with the column.
Step 5: Install the multi-purpose wood plastic panel onto the gate frame
7 steps to install multi-purpose wood plastic panels on the frame:
1. Apply Kosmos multi-purpose glue to the skeleton.
2. Install the first wood plastic composite panel.
For horizontal cladding: Install the multi-purpose panel facing the ground horizontally (install the panel from bottom to top).
For vertical cladding: Install the multi-purpose panel against the wall vertically (install the panel from left to right or from right to left).
3. Drill a pilot hole and shoot stainless steel screws into the pilot hole to fix the first multi-purpose bar onto the bone bar.
4. Apply Kosmos Multi-Purpose Glue to the gate frame
5. Drill a pilot hole, shoot stainless steel screws into the pilot hole to fix the second multi-purpose bar onto the bone bar.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to install the multi-purpose bar on the entire gate frame. (The gap between the multi-purpose bars is chosen by the contractor).
7. Use brass knobs or hex screws to decorate the multi-purpose bar on the gate.
8. Install the handle on the gate, depending on the type of handle, choose the appropriate construction method.
Note: The gate is an area that is frequently exposed to sunlight. Kosmos recommends using the striped side of the multi-purpose bar exposed to the outside of the gate instead of using the wood grain side.
Kosmos recommends the gate size when constructing multi-purpose wood plastic panels:
The gate size when constructing multi-purpose wood plastic panels requires a width of ≤6m and a height of ≤3m. If your area is larger than the recommended size, please switch to using 2-layer wood plastic panels coated with ASA (OP113X16, OP140X12, 4S184X28, 5S169X14, 8S169X14). ASA panels are lightweight materials, a solution for wall cladding, ceiling cladding, and large-area gate cladding.
Multi-purpose wood plastic bar in addition to gate cover with stainless steel screws can also be used gate cladding construction with copper nails.
Note: Instructions are for reference only. To have the most suitable construction plan, it is necessary to survey the specific project and come up with an optimal construction solution.
