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

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

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. 👍

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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..

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

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?

This guy is the Stephen King of welding

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.

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"

Masterful instruction.

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!

That super detailed explanation Sir Jim! God bless you.

always dreamed of a rolling gate, who knows, i might do itmThank you

Great Build Jimbo. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

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
