Secure hold for sliding gates, even in wind and weather
I recently built a sliding gate made of PVC fabric to protect my vehicles from rain and wind. It's a fabric similar to that used for vehicles with bodywork. Holes were cut into the material at 0.5m intervals on the top of the fabric, allowing me to attach the individual parts to the rollers. These, in turn, are located on a matching guide rail. However, this system doesn't only have advantages. With every gust of wind, the parts would open, and the sliding gate no longer served its purpose. That's when the magnet shop came into play. I bought ring magnets with opposite polarity, north and south. I then attached these with screws at each division and at both ends.
Ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore north and ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 4.5 x 4.0 mm N42 nickel with counterbore south.
For this, I made holes with a size of 4mm and then screwed in the ring magnets. I can tell you one thing. It holds rock solid and opens and closes really well.
