How to build a large metal frame rolling gate | JIMBO'S GARAGE

#JimbosGarage #Welding #MetalFabrication I built this 16ft rolling gate for a client who wanted access through a fenced off part of their yard. Don't be afraid to try something like this. If you have some fabrication experience it is a very fun project and the end result is great! Providing you always check for square!!!

That table is unreal. Perfectly square too 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice video today Jimbo. Hopefully the future owners get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon Jimbo. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Jimbo. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

[@bryanb5413]

Just in time for my Spring project. Thanks Jimbo!

[@DmitriyK007]

you can take the lock of the box. it's pretty simple to remove and install. awesome videos, lots of knowledge. ty

[@tonymichel1387]

Love your videos jumbo.. I’ve been building gates for many years . Like watching others build to pick up on what others do. When I use this lock box deals I take them apart super easy take off all paint and weld them up same way you did and sent it over to power coat. Never had a problem. Usually don’t like to weld after coating Just a tip. Hope it helps..

[@PhilipGragg]

Great video thanks for making this! I've found that for those outer corners off the table, the fireball weld squares help keep everything square and on the same plane.

[@paulmorrey733]

Great work Jimbo - Thanks for sharing

[@DailyInspirations101]

That super detailed explanation Sir Jim! God bless you.

[@stevenmoreno9600]

The box is very easy to disassemble, I weld it in without the hardware and paint it like that. Also you weld it upside down. The J hook is supposed to come up so they can’t lift it out of the lock. 👍

[@aguilayserpiente]

Masterful instruction.

[@blazini]

I built the same type of gate, about the same length. Not as pretty, I used scrap round tube. I'm not really a fan of the tabs welded to the angle track, you're going to have exposed anchors that somebody has to drive over.Better way to do that is to lay 2" x 1/8" flatbar on the concrete and bolt it down from the center. Then stitch weld the track angle over top of the anchors. My track's been in place for 10 years no problems, and if I ever had to remove it it's easy to cut stitch welds. No sense in trying to powdercoat the track pretty, some cold galvanizing spray holds up surprisingly well. Mine uses the same type of wheels and rollers but I built a remote opener that uses roller chain.

[@hughbarnsley3141]

Great video! I would like to see clsoe ups of how the upper rollers are mounted and fastened. Can you send photo clips of this please?

[@gunnerranch]

Clean work. Thanks for sharing.

[@jesusjauregui8939]

My very first job on my own was a rolling gate like this one but about two ft lower, very fun job and lots of learning while doing it

[@gadgetshouseofbuild1554]

Great Gate! love those wheels they move pretty good really nice job!

[@dannalboon]

I like your idea of attaching the unit to the gate itself instead of installing it at 90° I will be using this type of design when I make mine. Cheers!

[@tonyfnd]

Great Build Jimbo. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@l.j.b9863]

Excellent job ! Your one of my favourite channels. Your shop Is my dream ! Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@TheCaptainkelly]

Awsome will be starting one soon

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Very very nice job Jimbo!

[@gtdodgeviper]

Very well done. I made my self one but its only 10 feet long and it has 2 track wheels on the back like chain link gates do. I made the frame out of 2x4s and attached a metal post on the side for the track wheels. On the bottoms it has a V groove track and wheel. It’s holding very well after 2 years and slides very easy.

[@centerlinefabsolutions8918]

Nice work as always. We do same business. I’m in Kentucky, but always like watching. Thank you my friend.

[@1021carlitos]

I like you work you are the best ✌️✌️

[@nadjichoromo7217]

Good job

[@backyardmachinist]

This is very impressive work. One piece of advice I have is to ensure that your threading tool is 60 degrees and perpendicular to the work. You can get a fish tail gauge for this. That way your threads wont be biased to one side. Well done!

[@richardfife8192]

Them evo chop saws are amazing. Just Apollo loud! 😂

[@thomaselmer9728]

I love your welding videos and you do great work. Just a thought, I would have disassembled the lock and welded the box in before powdercoating. The new owner will probably want it rekeyed anyway, since the manufacturer say "Keyed the same". I just found out Kwikset makes a version of this lock without the the outside box. "Glass Narrow Stile Door double Cylinder Kwikset KW1 Deadlock HOOK Bolt"

[@arianamedina6523]

Hola muchas gracias por enseñar ese trabajo tan bonito yo aprendí de usted y estoy aciendo una puerta casi y gual y otravez gracias y felicidades por enseñar a personas como yo que nos gusta hacer las cosas uno miso saludos desde México

[@charlesfields7908]

JIMBO! whats cooking brother?! Hope you and the family is doin well bud! As always your a great inspiration to hobbiest and experienced welders 🔥

[@davorb6509]

good job . When you welded the housing for the lock and the handle, you could move them away or take them off, because it partially burned... but, ok, a small thing. Mostly good work. Greetings from Slovenia

[@anthonyvega1959]

This guy is the Stephen King of welding

[@ArcWelder588]

It appears to have a U bracket going over the gate to hold it in place with rollers on either sides, however it is blocked by the tree. Great video

[@smokeythebirdbrain]

I was trying to figure out the same thing, how does the gate stay in place while rolling? @Jimbo, could you let us know?

[@TyFreeborn]

@@smokeythebirdbrain The last 3 or 4 seconds of the video show the roller near the top of one side of the gate in action. He mentioned he'd built and pre-installed that upside down U-bracket that holds both vertical rollers -- one on each side.

[@justintothetruth]

Happy for you you have that table etc. really but when we see one how the typical guy has to do it. That will be really helpful. Anyways, great table.

[@user-lh3sj6ez6f]

Круто получилось...

[@stephenhines2795]

Man, that’s what I need in my back gate

[@martindafov1344]

Very, very good job, I like your job. All the things are American but the grinder115 is from Germany

[@johnversluis3084]

must nice to all Htp sponsorship and all the other co giving free stuff and equipment to name drop ! The lock box why didn't you Tig that because of lot less heat zones ? do you remember Mr. Tig you can call your self Mr. MiG LOL

[@jburb7507]

Great video. Very helpful for me that you shared what wall thickness is sufficient for this type/size of gate. Can you share the size/thickness of steel you used for the posts you mentioned in the video? Thanks!

[@whowhatwhenwherewhy123]

Hey Jimbo, beautiful work sir. If I may ask how much would something like that run me these days? I'm referring to the only the metal frame work which you completed, not the additional fence boards.

[@gixxerkid3120]

Question... With that type of lock, what keeps someone from lifting the end of the gate up to clear the hook of the lock from the post it is latched too and opening the gate? Would it have been better to install the lock box on the stationary post ? That way the gate can't be lifted to unlatch it from the lock. Jim as always love the videos and the builds. Sincerely Chris T-Town Welding and Fabrication

[@jinglingbabygarage7030]

Great work as usual Jimbo! I was also wondering how inside rollers were affixed to stop gate from falling in?

[@DrKniz]

Excellent point. A flat piece of metal could be welded onto the post protruding a couple inches above the top of the gate. So when the gate is closed it would prevent it from being lifted as you indicated.

[@danielavalos2005]

The hook lock should have been installed with the hook going up to avoid the gate being picked up....also you can take the internals out of the hook lock to weld the box before the powder coating...

[@donsmith9081]

@@DrKniz The problem with that is someone could cut a finger off.

[@TyFreeborn]

Should install with hook facing up. Then you can't lift it.

[@xhuntallday8891]

Hey jimbo nice work bud I love you’re videos now my question is the 5.5 ft tall was from top to bottom of the wheels or just the frame was 5.5 ft plus the wheels.

[@cuskit]

Great job as usual Jimbo! Love to have seen a photo completed with the wood, but, it is what it is. you mentioned you were stitch welding the lock - would the pulse setting have accomplished the same 'cooling' effect as stitching? Thanks, mikey

[@jessyreptiles4547]

Yes it is possible with pulse effect, but since jimbo only had one lockbox to weld, the time to get hes perfect pulse setting would of been longer than to just stitch weld that one.

[@jamesdavis6275]

That's not stitch welding . It was tack welding which isn't very strong . A good welder could've welded that box in without tack welding

[@lamineichammene6942]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@testyourdesign233]

Would have it been a good idea to use weld through primer on your lock box and wheels before you welded them in?

[@jrapp6811]

Hey jumbo!!! Love your work What size are the casters???

[@DaFOBulous1]

Great work Jimbo! How much would a gate like this cost in general? Minor labor of installing and concrete?

[@EpiVid]

Great vid as always Jimbo. How'd you fix the timber to the front of the gate? Am trying to do a similar project and fixing the timber is challenging to me!

[@donsmith9081]

Self tap screws

[@allentegarden9686]

Great project! I was wondering if would have been possible to remove the internals on the lock so you could weld it in before the powder coating? I’ve never seen a lock like that so I wasn’t sure. Again great project.

[@ThatMagicalGuy90]

Fully removal yes. I use these lock Boxes everyday to build doors and gates. We send them to get painted with no internals. And upon install we put the lock back togeyher

[@sik6hundred]

They are easy to disassemble

[@keithjordan8116]

This guy does some very good, great quality work! Awesome explaining as well.

[@mikev.1034]

Hi Mr.Jimbos,I like to see your channel and the jobs you do!!got a cuestión,what cain a welder do you ben using on all your jobs?

[@ajitsingh5153]

jimbo can you please share the link to the heabvy duty wheels you have used ?- Thanks for a really nice video

[@RangoYep]

Hey Jimbo loved ya tutorial brother. What thickness did you use for the steel?

[@RonR1]

How hot will the lock box get when welding it, I'm thinking over 400°

[@markbroughton5814]

I've put 20 footers under the truck. Drive over them then tie them up on both bumpers.

[@luisdedios5979]

Jimbo! What gauge size is the 1 inch angle iron you used for the track?

[@Hardstyler981]

What square tubbing do you recomend for a 16' by 8' gate

[@garyjones2582]

Very nice work Jimbo.. I'm buying a missile silo and I need your help...

[@stephenmontgomery6012]

I reviewed your video because when I got a fabricator to make a gate for a 27 ft. rolling gate he said he needed shop drawings. As a trained draftsman I said, no problem. Easy. Until it wasn't. 🤔Your well produced video answers many of my questions and does, in fact, clarify many design detail considerations I had. That said, noting that the arch includes the two rollers plus clearance for the gate, other than stating that it was previously set in concrete, you didn't indicate the dimensions of the arch. You also didn't indicate any details for the lock end post. Just a 2 in X 2 in post set in concrete? As a result of that approach I noticed that arch wasn't powdered. In my case I plan on having the arch surface mounted on existing concrete and having both it and the end part powdered along with the gate. Also regarding the lock box, why didn't you just remove the lock assembly then weld the box in and let it get powdered before reinstalling the lock? Those things come out and reinstall quite easily If you have the key, a small flat tip screw driver (tweeker) and access to the jam face.

[@CSJiGSaW08]

how do you calculate the HP or watts required for a motor install for this type of fence. Is it by weight and how do you calculate the real final weight?

[@lostpinescat]

Jimbo, what welding helmet do you use?

[@tonydalton6756]

Sun tanned hands is normal in my world. :D

[@MB-xq3ol]

hey Jim how about a push button combination lock on out side and handle on inside NO KEY

[@donsmith9081]

If possible I put wheels inline with verticals- especially on a 16 gauge frame. I don't build gate frames with 16 gauge. The latch faces down permitting gate to be lifted up and rolled open.

[@user-re9ju7tr7e]

Sorry if I missed it, what gauge tubbing are you using??

[@tommy.thetank]

What kind of welding equipment are you using?

[@84dropalot]

Where did you buy that lock ?

[@pavelsilviu1066]

Hei king

[@glumberty1]

How do you fabricate something like that if you don't have a big welding table?

[@kylej7478]

Could you not have dismantled the lock box, weld it in then reassemble after powder coating?

[@thyfr26]

and bought a box that's the sime size of the tube

[@cheerry777]

Very nice. How do you keep it from falling?

[@donsmith9081]

Roller guides on top

[@TyFreeborn]

Roller guides near top. One on each side. The last 3 or 4 seconds of the video show this as he's opening the gate. You can see the roller in action on one side.

[@nora-ub9yi]

What kind of welder did you use?

[@juvenalhernandez4889]

What would be the price range for some like this

[@jessegarcia6654]

Thats what she said 😅" just cause its big its all the same " lol jim

[@royortiz3324]

Can I please get a parts list?

[@zacatecas1308761]

I would like to know what material used to put together the wood to the metal.

[@TyFreeborn]

Probably pre-painted or galvanized self-tapping hex head screws.

[@ChrisZomboid]

there is a tiny guide hidden behind the tree keeping this thing from being pushed over.

[@TyFreeborn]

Yup. There's two of them. One for each side of the gate. You can see the bracket with one roller in the last 3 or 4 seconds of the video.

[@parneypots]

Nice. I see a roller on the front of the gate but what keeps the gate from tipping off the angle iron on the ground that the wheel is riding on? Seems like it would be top heavy and just fall over on its side……

[@samuelavelar2700]

2:12 roller on both sides

[@Derpherppington]

I don’t get how one roller can hold the gate from falling if someone push it over at the end when it’s closed. I wish it was longer and the tree didn’t block how the gate works at the end of the video

[@TyFreeborn]

There are roller guides near top of the gate -- one on each side. The last 3 or 4 seconds of the video show this as he's opening the gate. You can see the roller in action on one side.

[@tomasmerino1039]

What a pain to install the lockbox... Here in Argentina we use the type you put inside the tubing and pop rivet it in the side that's against the post, so we don't struggle with paint and such

[@AndyMorrisArt]

why don't it fall over. I can't see any rail on the top?

[@josebriones763]

[@dhirmer]

You "spot welded" everything in not "stitch weld" you had to do that cause you were running way to hot for the material you are working with.
