tranxo:here's what I can tell you about the gate or anything else like that. The less cutting and welding the better. Just take it from me 2 Likes |

tranxo: That's how most gates are. Especially for rolling gates, the inside designs could interfere with the smooth movement of the gate. 2 Likes

spyder880:the movement of the gate isn't much of a problem sef. Even with designs, gate can still be rolling. For any iron work to last, let the cutting and welding be at the barest amount possible. Once you cut, the durability of the area has dropped. Even when you weld, you will jump some areas and those areas make it vulnerable to aging. Think of it like a person with a fracture. The bone can NEVER be as good as it was. Our people will say that the wound of a cut will heal but the mark is permanent 5 Likes |

michlins:Maybe we should then start molding gates as a unibody to satisfy your logic? Gate kwa. |

Martini101: The alternative will be worse, a hotter room, and most likely more humid, staining the upper rooms with dampness which might lead to growth of small plants like molds. We planned for these vents to be only at the back and sides of the house, none will be placed in the front. 4 Likes |

michlins: Most people won't understand. For Nigerians, the more complicated and over designed a project is, the better. I don't know if it is me, I like my things to be of minimal design. My new gate is just a thick black plain metal sheet. It is going to be sliding. You only have the pipe welding only at the four sides of the plate. I even like the back of that Spyder's gate more than the front with those designs. 2 Likes |

InvertedHammer:no it's not a sign of bad welding skills. You don't weld 2mm pan nonstop. There must be 2-3" gap between each weld. Or else you will weaken the pan. You're not welding suspension bridge 1 Like |

michlins:/ I am not an expert in welding but the little I know, they have different power settings for different materials and thickness. But in Nigeria I noticed they use one size fits all welding machine. Could that be why? From what I learned so far, those gaps are frowned at by professional welders as they affect the integrity of the weld as you rightly pointed out. / |
