Make your own fence. How to build a fence in the country if the budget is limited

First of all, the happy owner of a summer cottage wants to make a fence in the country with his own hands in order to protect his possessions. If you are puzzled over how to make fences, you need to know some of the nuances.

Types of fences: metal from corrugated board, brick, slate, mesh, concrete, stone.

Why are fences needed and why are they erected? Everyone knows the main task of the fence is to determine the boundaries of the property of the territory. The second - the fence serves as a fence for your garden and garden from wild animals and prying eyes. The fence is an integral part of the interior in the country. It should be in harmony with the design of your hacienda.

How to put up a fence in the country with your own hands? Some turn to specialists for help, others want to build a fence in the country with their own hands. Doing the installation yourself will not take much time and effort. It will also help you save some money. Before proceeding with the installation, arm yourself with all necessary tools and materials.

Assembling a wooden fence

One common type of fence is wood. It attracts with its natural origin, availability and reasonable price. Of the shortcomings, a short service life stands out, it requires attention and processing. To build a homemade wooden fence you will need:

• support posts (asbestos, brick, iron, wood);
• bars (5-10 cm wide);
• boards (85 to 145 mm, height optional),
• self-tapping screws;
• screwdriver

Prepare recesses measuring 100-150 cm at a distance of 2 m, install racks in them. Next, fasten the crossbars to the racks and screw the boards to the resulting structure. Don't forget the door too. Now that the country fence is assembled, it must be treated with varnish or paint.

Fence in the country from profiled flooring

Another type of fence that you can make yourself from profiled flooring. Its exterior is not particularly pretty, but it is distinguished by its durability and does not require special care. You can put up a fence yourself within a few days, for this you need to prepare:

• profiled pipes or racks with a diameter of at least 50 mm;
• flat profiled pipes for logs 40 * 20 mm;
• profiled sheets;
• roofing screws;
• hammer, drill, level, drill and more.

If the inventory is ready, you can get down to business. When assembling a fence from corrugated board, you can concrete racks for strength.

Fence installation process suburban area:

1. Make holes in the ground with a depth of at least 1 m.
2. The recesses are filled with gravel 20 cm in height, then they are determined into the resulting rack niche and adjusted to the level.
3. Pour pre-prepared concrete mix or use ready-made solution.

After the cement has hardened, it is necessary to weld the transverse pipes to the racks and fix the profile sheets with roofing screws. Another profile flooring can be fixed with a special gun. To connect the decking with rivets, use a rectangular profiled pipe for the cross beams. Drill holes equal to the diameter of the rivet. Purchase a rivet and rivet gun.

Fence in the country from the chain-link

Often you can find a country fence made of chain-link. It is convenient for those who grow vegetables and fruits, as it does not obscure the site. Country fences from a grid of the chain-link will serve a long time. To put a fence of this material with your own hands, you need the following:

• netting;
• iron pipes (with a zinc layer and a section of 70 mm);
• intermediate pillars (wooden, iron, etc.);
• wire (3 mm);
• soft wire;
• connecting bolts;
• concrete solution.

To get started, you need to make markings for the main and intermediate posts: the distance between the main posts should not exceed 9 m and no more than 3 m between the intermediate ones.

1. Dig recesses for the main pillars of 60 cm and 40 cm for intermediate ones.
2. The poles are immersed in prepared pits and poured with concrete mortar to the middle of the pit.
3. After all the racks are set, do required amount wire holes.
4. When concrete mortar in the pits it will completely harden, they can be covered with earth, and then tighten and secure the chain-link with connecting bolts.

hedge building

A hedge is the same fence only from evergreens. They are very beautiful, but they demand special attention. Let's start building a hedge for a summer residence.

Planted in the first row of hedges berry plants or shrubs, in the second - tall trees or bushes. When choosing plants for planting in the form of a hedge, it is better to plant those that have been tested for survival in the climatic conditions of the region.

They must be frost-resistant, unpretentious, with a dense crown that quickly recovers after shearing and an excellent ability to form shoots.

Shrubs are planted at a distance of about 30-50 cm, and trees 75-150 cm. Hedges made of lilac, jasmine, etc. look spectacular. Before planting, you need to outline the line of the future fence with a stretched rope. A trench 50 cm deep is dug along the line. The bottom of the trench must be loosened and mixed with peat, humus and compost. Plant plants in spring or autumn.

During the season, it is necessary to care for and monitor the plants, water, fertilize and trim in time. Now often in the dachas you can see such hedges. A do-it-yourself fence on a personal plot from a hedge goes well with the landscape.

How to build a wicker fence in the country?

A wicker fence looks very original in the country. To build it yourself, you need:

• pegs;
• vine or thin flexible twigs (willow or hazel);
• wooden or iron racks.

We build a fence in the country and prepare inventory:

1. Choose even, well-dried lozenges 2-3 cm thick.
2. They dig a trench 50 cm deep and hammer in pre-treated stakes or racks. So that they do not stand out, they can be painted to match the color of the selected vine.
3. Next, mark the line and drive the branches to the entire depth of the groove. This is necessary in order for the fence to be strong.
4. Secure the extreme branches at their top with wire. Before you start weaving, soak the vines in water in advance: this will make them flexible and pliable.

In order for the structure to please the eye for a long time, it can be processed protective equipment for wood.

Brick fence for a summer residence

Those who are not limited financially can afford to build a brick fence. This species has a lot of advantages: it is quite strong, reliable, wear-resistant, does not need special care. But there are also disadvantages: its cost is quite high, it is difficult to put up a fence alone without helpers.

It is possible to construct such a fence with your own hands, but in this case it is better to contact the master of this business. Let's look at the main and necessary components for the construction of a brick fence:

1. Make an estimate and calculate the cost of material and the cost of the services of the master.
2. Prepare the necessary amount of raw materials, bricks, cement, gravel, sand, rebar, etc.
3. Mark the required area with a tape measure, level, nylon rope and drive in the pegs.
4. Prepare a trench for the foundation, fill in sand and gravel, water it so that everything is compacted.

Build a form from the boards and lay the reinforcement. Concrete mortar is poured into the formwork and left to harden. After a week, the formwork can be removed and the foundation treated with a waterproofing compound. They lay out a brick on the foundation in several rows, put orders in the corners with the help of nails. Fix the bricks with concrete mortar.

Above are all the key options that an amateur summer resident can build with his own hands. When planning the construction of a fence, try to determine the golden mean, based on your desires, capabilities and budget.

So, you are the proud owner of a new land plot! Work - no end, but it is a very pleasant job. Where will you start? From construction, of course! If you have enough funds, it is better to hire specialists (although it is not a fact that they will do it qualitatively and “for centuries”). But if the budget is limited, and you are full of energy and enthusiasm, then it is quite possible to build a fence yourself. The process is quite laborious, but quite feasible - you are not the Great Chinese Wall build in the end))

In this article I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of certain types of fences, and about building a fence with my own hands.

What kind of fence to build?

So, after consulting with your wife (and most importantly, with your mother-in-law)), you are finally “ripe” for construction. Now you need to decide: what kind of fence do you need? If you want to completely "hide" from outside world in your country oasis, then build a fence from, concrete slabs or long boards. If you just need to protect your property - consider creating a palisade, a metal lattice, a fence on the basis, a low fence made of boards, or even make a beautiful fence.

And do not forget: in addition to its main purpose - to protect the territory and protect it from outside penetration - the fence must also perform an aesthetic function. Therefore, pay attention to its appearance. Before I talk about building a country fence with my own hands, let's make a brief comparison of the most common types of fences.

Advantages:

• the availability of the material;
• not high price.

You can inexpensively purchase edged boards and process them yourself (plan, sand, process and paint). And you can buy a ready-made wooden fence in the store (edged board, by the way, will cost 3 times cheaper finished product). You choose.

Disadvantages:

• short-lived;
• requires regular maintenance: repair, tinting, and so on.

brick fence

Advantages:

• very durable (it will serve you faithfully for more than 50 years), the most durable of all types of fence;
• does not require special care;
• looks solid and respectable.

Disadvantages:

• very high material cost;
• you will need a solid foundation, the construction of which is very expensive.

Advantages:

• availability and variety of material: different sizes wave, different color, coating and other parameters;
• ease of installation (does not require a special foundation);
• low price;
• practical;
• durable: will last you about 30 years.

Disadvantages:

• very unattractive appearance(especially from the inside).

Therefore, quite often, when building fences with their own hands, they combine corrugated board with bricks.

It turns out durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Advantages:

• material reliability: concrete fence 5-6 times stronger than a fence made of brick and can last more than 100 years;
• undemanding care;
• an impressive variety of decorative concrete slabs for fences - you can choose any model you like.

Disadvantages:

• it will not be possible to build it with your own hands from beginning to end, because for the installation of such a fence you will have to involve special equipment and workers.

Metal mesh fence

Advantages:

• reliability: modern metal mesh for fences consists of galvanized iron rods with PVC coating;
• sufficient durability (service life up to 30 years);
• does not create a shadow on the garden plot.

Disadvantages:

• does not close your site from the immodest glances of passers-by))

We build a fence in the country with our own hands

And now I present to you two ways to build a fence with your own hands, the most popular among summer residents and do not require serious financial investments.

Building a wooden fence

A detailed master class on building a wooden fence with your own hands, so now I will only briefly recall the main points.

1. We define the boundaries of the site.
2. We drill holes under load-bearing poles depth of 0.7-1.0 m at a distance of 2 or 2.5 m from each other.
3. We insert poles into the pits, using a level (or plumb line) we check that they stand strictly vertically.
4. We strengthen (can be concreted or cemented).
5. We nail or fasten a timber with a section of 50x50 mm or more onto the pillars from above and below or fasten it with self-tapping screws.
6. Install cross bars.
7. We attach edged boards to the finished structure (you can take boards with a section of 85x145 mm) at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other.
8. Let's start painting.

Very important! Before starting construction, all wooden parts should be oiled 2-3 times or covered with another anti-rotten agent.

For example, modern preparations are effective, they cover such a wide range of wood protection that after processing them for a wooden fence, you can not worry for many years.

For me, for example, wooden fences I really like it, and not necessarily painted: the wood grain always looks good, it will be in place everywhere. And modern impregnations will help to do without painting.

We build a fence from corrugated board

So, you bought the metal sheets you liked in the store and are ready to build a fence from corrugated board with your own hands. Start with a trivial markup of the site, and then follow the instructions:

1. Along the perimeter of the site, drill holes in the ground with a depth of 1-1.2 m.
2. Fill each hole with a layer of crushed stone or gravel 20-25 cm thick.
3. Set in pits metal poles with a section of at least 50x50 mm and set them strictly vertically.
4. Strengthen the posts or cement mortar.
5. To the pillars at an equal distance from each other, weld transverse logs (2-3 pcs) from profiled metal pipe.
6. On the resulting base, fix the sheets of corrugated board (usually they are mounted on self-tapping screws).

It is worth noting here that it is undesirable to fix sheets of corrugated board on self-tapping screws, because cunning attackers can easily twist such fasteners in your absence and steal sheets. Alas, such cases are not uncommon. Therefore, it is better to use special rivets for metal, which no thief can unscrew.

A few important nuances:

The quality factor and durability of any fence depends on the supports - the pillars on which it rests. Therefore, experts advise using strong metal supports even for wooden fences - this way the fences will last much longer.

Think over where and how you will fasten, what they will be: sectional, swing, folding or others. And then you can use classic solution for any type of fence: a rectangle for the gate, welded from a profiled metal pipe, should be slightly smaller than the niche in the fence for arranging the gate. The size of the gate is up to you. You can sheathe the profile with the material from which you make the fence: boards, corrugated board, and so on. And you can experiment))

You need to take care of the double-sided handles on the gate and the valve (if you need it). The gates are attached to the supporting frame with the help of durable metal canopies. If you put a padlock, then you need to fix it on the gate metal hinges for him. And if you decide to do mortise lock, then on one of the support pillars (from the side of the lock) and on the gate door, make holes for the lock itself and for its tongue.

I hope, using these simple tips, you will be able to build a solid and beautiful fence with your own hands. Good luck to you in such a difficult and painstaking task! And a few other helpful posts.

Many construction teams take up the installation of a corrugated fence. The process is not troublesome and fast, but the earnings are substantial.

You can eliminate this expense item from the total estimate for the improvement of a summer house or a private house by deciding to make a fence from corrugated board with your own hands.

The purpose of the fence on the site is to protect the territory. At the same time, it has another function - representative.

Previously, the main material for the construction of fences was wood - an affordable material, but requiring care and protection from destruction, at present, other building materials also compete with it: brick, concrete, polycarbonate, mesh, forging, corrugated board.

According to the ratio of the parameters “price-installation-durability-appearance”, the leadership belongs to corrugated board, which led to its wide distribution among users.

Advantages of corrugated fences

• ease of material and installation;
• strength (rigidity);
• resistance to corrosion;
• uniform and very slow fading (like paint on a car);
• aesthetic appeal;
• undemanding to care;
• long service life;
• relatively low price.

Such a list of advantages has few building materials. But, all these properties are fully disclosed only when correct installation. So, you need to know how to make a corrugated fence correctly. Within the article, we will talk about the nuances of choosing a material, the specifics of its calculation, the types of a frame for a fence, we will describe how to attach a corrugated board and much more.

Do-it-yourself fence from corrugated board -
step by step guide from A to Z

Installation of a corrugated fence includes only screwing the sheet to the frame, this is a process consisting of several stages. Each of which we will describe in detail in the form of step-by-step instructions.

Stage 1. Scheme of a fence from corrugated board - from a sketch to a drawing

An arbitrary schematic drawing (sketch) is needed in order to visualize design features fence.

There are two types (types) of a fence made of corrugated board:

• solid;
• sectional.

It is the type of fence that determines the consumption of material and the methods of installing structural elements.

Apply to the drawing diagram:

• the location of the fence on the site. Helps to take into account the features of the site: relief, plantings, buildings, access roads, gate installation site, etc.;

• if the site is uneven (hill, low) put a place where there will be elevation changes. Manufacturers producing quality material profiled sheets are made with a length multiple of 50 mm. this allows you to achieve visually the same height of the fence, despite the height differences on the ground.

• dimensions: fence height and length of individual straight sections;

• the location of the columns (supports);

Note. With a sectional fence, the width of the section is determined by the width of the sheet. It must be a multiple of 1, 1.5 or 2 sheets.

A detailed diagram simplifies the calculation of the material.

Stage 2. Corrugated fence materials

Construction will proceed quickly if the necessary materials for manufacturing are prepared in a timely manner.

What materials are needed for a corrugated fence:

1. Decking

When choosing a profiled sheet (corrugated sheet), you need to pay attention to the thickness (0.45-0.5 mm +/- 0.06 mm), wave height, absence of a capillary groove, parameters, coating, color and texture.

The profiled sheet has a high windage, this must be taken into account when planning the frame.

Note. The dimensions of the profiled sheet for the fence differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, this must be taken into account when choosing a material. It is also worth knowing that guarantee period operation for galvanized corrugated board is 20-30 years, and with polyester coating - up to 50 years (depending on the thickness of the layer).

2. Support posts (pillars)

Theoretically, any material can be used: wood, stone, metal.

When deciding which poles to use for the fence, keep in mind that the simplest and most affordable option is metal pipes.

Rack parameters depend on the expected load. Usually pipes 60x40x2 mm or 40x40x2 mm are used. For round pipes diameter - 60-100 mm.

You can use purchased ready-made pipes for the fence (photo) (for any type of soil) or piles (normal soils and loams).

The advantage of ready-made supporting pillars is the presence of a “heel” for mounting on a pillow, holes for attaching corrugated board and a top plug that prevents water from entering the pillar.

3. Cross beams

For logs (beams) it makes sense to use square pipes 40x40x2 mm. or 40x20x2 mm. General recommendation- the width of the log is equal to half the width of the support column.

It is unacceptable to use wooden logs, due to the fact that the wood tends to rot at the place where the sheet is attached. This will not only reduce the life of the fence, but also prevent the sheet from being reused. Metal corner also not suitable for logs, with a thickness of 2 mm it will not provide adequate resistance to wind load, and manufacturers do not recommend using a thicker one.

Note. A special self-tapping screw for corrugated board with a drill is designed for drilling metal with a thickness of not more than 2.5 mm. So the use of a thick-walled profile is fraught with additional drilling efforts.

4. Plate holder (bracket) for corrugated board

Special fasteners (brackets) are used when assembling the fence frame by a non-welding method, on hardware.

5. Plugs for poles (supports)

Plastic plugs perform a protective function so that water does not get inside the pipe.

In practice, the post is closed with a special overlay or plastic bottle. Not very aesthetically pleasing, but certainly cheap, and good as a temporary fix.

6. Hardware

Needed for weldless assembly of the fence frame. To do this, use a bolt or screw M6 (30 and 20 mm). As well as self-tapping screws for fastening corrugated board or rivets.

Professionals advise using a self-tapping screw, because. it is equipped with an additional gasket (neoprene rubber), which allows you to tightly press the profiled sheet without damaging its surface. Its length is 15-35 mm.

Advice. When using rivets, the edges of the holes for them are recommended to be treated with special paint. This will prevent the rapid appearance of rust at the attachment point and the formation of rusty smudges on the corrugated board, which are very difficult to eliminate.

The paint is used to touch up scratches that may appear during the installation of the profiled sheet, as well as to paint over the cut on the sheet. Consumption is small, one can, as a rule, is enough.

8. Decorative end plate for decorating the fence

U-shaped bar (fence, covering), which is installed on the upper edge (edge) of the profiled sheet and protects users from possible cuts, and the sheet from rust.

The material was prepared for the site www.site

Note. When buying, please note that the edges of the bar must be bent (rolled). Otherwise, they will not only scratch the metal during installation, but will lose their shape (the edges will move away from the sheet) during operation.

Additional materials and tools:

• cement, gravel, sand - for installing support pillars or arranging the foundation;

• level, plumb, welding machine(and consumables), a screwdriver, mortar containers, formwork boards (if necessary), a shovel or drill, a primer and an anti-corrosion solution for metal, a riveter (if necessary), a rope, goggles and gloves, a grinder (if necessary, cutting profiled sheets ).

Stage 3. Calculation of material for a corrugated fence

How to determine how much building material is required for manufacturing.

1. Calculation of the number of corrugated sheets:

• with a continuous fence - the total length of the fence is divided by the useful width of the sheet. Rounding goes up;

• at sectional. If the size of the section (span) is equal to the width of the sheet, the total width of the sheet is used. If it is planned to install one and a half or two sheets there - useful.

Note. The sheet can be installed both vertically and horizontally. At horizontal mount the height of the fence will be equal to 1, 2 or 3 working widths of the sheet. When vertical - is determined by the customer.

Advice. When calculating, do not operate with such a concept as total area required corrugated board. Keep calculations in pieces at a given sheet height.

2. Calculation of the number of posts for a corrugated fence

The number of supports depends on the distance between the corrugated fence posts

• with a solid fence, the total length of the fence is divided by the estimated distance between the posts (racks). Taking into account the windage of the sheet, it is taken equal to 2,000 - 3,000 mm. It is not advisable to increase the distance, since this will lead to an increase in the thickness of the racks or the number of longitudinal logs.

• at sectional. The number is determined by the expected number of sections. When installing racks for mounting fence sections, you need to calculate in advance the distance between the posts so that it corresponds to the total (when installing one sheet per section) or useful (1.5-2 sheets) area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe corrugated board.

Note. The calculations take into account that the support posts (pillars) must be installed at the corners of the fence, as well as at the installation site of the gate and / or gate. The number of intermediate supports is rounded down. And the difference is compensated by the deviation from the specified distance between the racks.

The size of the post is determined by the height of the fence, taking into account that the posts go deep into the soil by 30% of their length. Thus, with a fence height of 2,000, the height of the support post for a fence made of corrugated board should be 2,600-2,700. For intermediate posts, an installation depth of 25% of the total fence height is permissible. Then the length of the rack will be 2,500 mm.

3. Calculation of the number of transverse logs

The amount depends on how the fence is installed.

• Masters advise using 2 logs with a fence height of up to 2,000 mm. Moreover, their distance from the edges of the corrugated board is 300 mm.

• With a fence height of more than 2,000 mm - 3 logs.

Thus, the total lag molding is determined by multiplying the total length of the fence by the number of crossbars.

4. Plate holder

The number of plates is equal to the number of support posts multiplied by the number of rows of logs.

5. Pole cap

The number of plugs is equal to the number of support posts. Plus 2-3 spare ones (useful during the operation of the fence).

6. Hardware

When calculating self-tapping screws, it is taken into account that fastening is carried out in two extreme waves and through two in the middle of the profiled sheet in each of the transverse logs. Thus, with two transverse lags, 6 pieces are required per sheet, with three - 9 pieces. The number of hardware is rounded multiple of the package (standard package - 250 pcs). Since, in the process of tightening the self-tapping screw, defects may occur.

When fastening with rivets, their consumption increases, since they are fastened along the edges and through the wave.

Standard packing of paint 50, 100, 200, 500, 900 gr. The choice depends on the length of the fence. Usually 50 gr. banks are enough.

8. Decorative end strip

The amount is equal to the length of the fence divided by the working length of the bar. Standard length planks 2,000 mm, working (including overlap) is 1850-1950 mm.

Stage 4. Do-it-yourself fence installation from corrugated board

Installation technology step by step:

1. Site preparation

Cleaning the ground surface of everything that will interfere with the installation of sheets and poles.

2. Foundation and / or installation of support posts

Note. The destruction of the corrugated sheet begins at the point of contact with the ground surface. Pebbles, dirt, mechanical damage lead to the appearance of defects precisely from the bottom of the sheet. In addition, the uneven terrain of the site often creates difficulties in the installation of supports. That is why the foundation for a corrugated fence is obligatory step fencing devices.

What is the best foundation for a corrugated fence?

Soil research usually helps to decide on which foundation to put a fence from a profiled sheet in a particular area. But since the fence made of corrugated board is a relatively light construction, the usual one is suitable for it. Its optimal depth is 300-400 mm, and the minimum width of the foundation for a corrugated fence is determined by the width of the support post (columns).

We will not dwell on how to fill the foundation. But we note such a nuance, the depth of the pit at the place of installation of the base support posts (along the edges of the fence, corners, at the place of installation of the gate) should be 1/3 of their height + 100-150 mm for installing a pillow under the sole of the stand. For intermediate posts - 1/4 of the height of the support + the height of the pillow. This will remove the influence ground water and freezing soil on the rack.

Preparation and installation of formwork is no different from arranging a strip foundation for a house or gazebo.

First of all, base support posts are installed (along the edges of even sections of the fence), a rope is pulled between them and intermediate posts are installed along it. At the place of installation of the support posts, the soil is removed with a drill, a gravel-sand cushion is poured, on which the posts are installed. In this case, metal pipes should be treated with an anti-corrosion solution.

Users note that it is better to concrete the racks by 100-150 mm. So they remain stable when reinforcing the formwork and filling it with concrete. If it is planned to compact the pillars, then the pillow should be made 200-250 mm high and the racks should be hammered into it. This method is more laborious, but less costly and reliable.

Advice. The use of a level and a plumb line when installing racks is mandatory.

A simpler option would be to install support racks without arranging the foundation. Installation requirements are the same. The depth is equal to 1/3 or 1/4 of the length of the rack, depending on the place of its installation, the thickness of the gravel-sand cushion is 100-150 mm, the mandatory treatment with an anti-corrosion solution, checking the level and reliable concreting.

Note. In practice, corrugated fence posts are installed with deviations from the above technology. This is justified with stable soils.

Alternative ways to install the racks are shown in the diagram.

3. Mounting lag

Fastening of a professional flooring is carried out on cross logs. They are mounted on support posts after they are securely concreted. In this case, it is impossible to rush work, because. this can cause the rack to deviate from the vertical.

The cross joists can be welded or screwed to the support posts. Masters recommend using a holder plate (bracket) for these purposes. Thus, the plate is screwed to the support post, and the lag to the plate, this makes the project a little longer and more expensive, but the fastening is considered more reliable.

Three ways to attach the log to the support posts (photo)

- in front of the column butt. The method is ideal for the construction of solid fences;

- behind the post using a holder (bracket). Suitable for sectional fences;

- side of the post. The advantage of this method is that the corrugated board can be attached not only to the log, but also to the supporting column, which makes the structure more stable. But, the duration of work and the consumption of self-tapping screws increases. Suitable for sectional fences.

Note. With a significant slope of the site, the transverse logs are mounted with an offset, as shown in the photo.

A fully finished frame is covered with an anti-corrosion primer and paint.

4. Decorative design of columns

This stage is possible only if a sectional type of corrugated fence is selected. Here, the installed metal support posts can be overlaid with bricks or lined with stone. According to many users, a fence made of corrugated board with brick pillars, looks more beautiful and presentable than with metal racks or even solid.

Note. A similar decor of the fence supports is thought out at the planning stage. Because the presence of brickwork makes adjustments to the distance between the pillars, and hence the number of sheets mounted in the section.

Of course, you can make a decision to finish the racks with bricks at any stage, but you should be prepared for the fact that the profiled sheet will have to be cut in length, and this will lead to waste not only of the sheet, but also of paint, and cutting tool, time and money.

Users agree that this work should be entrusted to mason masters, because. it is bricklaying in this case that will determine the aesthetic properties of the fence. If you decide to do the work yourself, then you should know:

• it is advisable to use high quality decorative bricks (chips and efflorescence are unacceptable);

• adhere to the same thickness of the masonry seam;

• tie every third row metal mesh(reinforce);

• the void between the masonry and the support pipe is completely filled with concrete mortar;

• make a decorative element at the top of the pillar.

5. Installation of corrugated board on the fence

To avoid the appearance of rust, you need to know how to fix the corrugated board correctly.

Rivets or special self-tapping screws are used to fasten the profiled sheet to each other and to the log. Installation begins based on the configuration of the sheet. One of the extreme waves of the sheet is covered (left or right depends on the manufacturer's equipment). The first sheet is mounted in such a way that the covering wave of the next one closes the wave of the previous one, and not vice versa. In order not to encounter a situation where a sheet cut near the gate refuses, installation must begin with these elements.

Advice. To ensure ventilation, it is necessary to make the distance of the sheet along the soil surface 50-100 mm.

The profiled sheet must be fixed along the edges to each of the transverse logs. One mount is in the middle of the sheet. If the fence is being built in a windy region, it is advisable to fasten the hardware through two waves.

How to properly fix the profiled sheet?

To screw a self-tapping screw into corrugated board, you also need to have certain skills. Namely, to know that a self-tapping screw:

• "jumping" of the self-tapping screw threatens to damage the front surface of the corrugated board.

6. Installation of additional elements

In fact, the installation of a fence made of corrugated board ends with the steps described above. However, manufacturers, craftsmen and experienced users recommend covering the upper end of the profiled sheet with a special decorative U-shaped strip (end fence strip).

The overlay will give the fence an aesthetic appearance and exclude damage to users from the sharp edges of the sheet.

The bar is simply put on the sheet, so when ordering, pay attention to its width.

For corrugated board with a wave height of 8 mm, you need a strip 10 mm wide (including rolling) or 8 mm (without rolling).

Please note that the corrugated board of most manufacturers is painted in color only on one side. The unpainted gray side looks towards the house. If trees, shrubs or grapes are planted along the fence, this will hide the unpresentable appearance of the fence.

Stage 5 Cleaning the area after the construction of the fence

Cleaning is the logical conclusion of the construction process. Cleaning is necessary in order to avoid injury from cuttings of corrugated board, scattered self-tapping screws and to give the site a well-groomed appearance.

Conclusion

The fence made of corrugated board looks great, endures any temperature changes and all kinds of atmospheric phenomena. But there are two weak points- windage and poor-quality installation. We hope that the information provided here will allow us to take into account and eliminate both of these shortcomings in a timely manner.

As a rule, such fences consist of sections and exist in two types: fences with supports made of metal pipes or brick columns. Profiled sheets on them can be located in one case at a small distance from the ground, and in the other case, they can be based on a foundation or a brick side connecting the fence posts.

The first option is more economical, as it involves the use of fewer materials and simplified installation. Another type of fence allows you to make it more respectable, but requires more materials and labor efforts.

The use of a profiled sheet in the metal fencing of the site is fully justified, since it has a number of advantages:

• The installation process of the fence does not cause technological problems;
• The profiled sheet is strong enough;
• If such a fence is properly mounted and then maintained, it will stand for a very long time;
• The appearance of the fence made of corrugated board is quite modern.

The low price of materials for such a fence makes it affordable for most land owners. And thanks to the wide color scheme and the variety of shapes of profiled sheets, the railings made of them are perfectly combined with many design solutions.

Technology of installation of a fence from a professional flooring

Whole manufacturing process installation of a fence from corrugated board can be divided into several stages. Let's consider them in order.

Preparatory work before the installation of the fence

Before purchasing basic materials, you need to prepare tools and equipment for work. You will need a building level, a concrete mixer, a welding machine, pegs and a cord for marking the territory, an electric drill with drills, electrodes d. 2.5 mm. It is also necessary to organize the supply of water to the place of concrete work.

It is not recommended to build any fence without a diagram or drawing. To compile any of these documents, markup data is required. It should begin with the definition and measurement of the perimeter of the site. To do this, you need to hammer pegs in its corners and connect them by pulling a cord between them. Using a tape measure, it is necessary to determine the length of the future fence and the required number of its supports, which are arranged in 2-3 m increments, depending on the length of the sheets. The location of each pole must be marked with a peg.

In addition, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the foundation, the width of the entrance gate and the entrance gate. The width of the base, in order to save costs for earthwork and concrete work, can be made unequal. Then, under the supports, it is made in their size, and under the sheets - narrower. Gate dimensions depend on their purpose. All markup data to be transferred to the scheme for counting the right amount materials.

If facing the supports with bricks is not planned, then a powerful foundation under lightweight construction no fence required. In this case, a hole 15 cm wide to a depth of 1.5 m is dug under each rack. You can use hand drill. The depth of immersion of the supports into the ground depends on the height of the fence. The higher you plan to make the fence, the deeper you need to dig in its supports.

For a heavy fence with brick posts, you will need a more massive foundation. To prepare it, you need shovels, a supply of polypropylene bags for taking out excess soil and time.

A trench, for example, with a volume of 4 m 3 is dug by a pair of workers within 4-5 hours with smoke breaks. Its depth for the foundation depends on the level of soil freezing in a particular region, on average - 1-1.5 m.

The most important thing in this type of work is the selection of soil to the desired depth. The level of laying the foundation, its immobility and the normal functioning of the entrance gate depend on it.

The choice of materials for the fence from corrugated board

The main material of the fence is profiled sheet. It is made from durable zinc plated steel. All sheets have a ribbed shape, as well as marking A or C followed by numbers from 8 to 35, which indicate the wave height of the product in millimeters. For example, C10 corrugated board used for fences has a wave height of 10 mm. The larger it is, the stiffer the profiled sheet. In regions with strong winds for fences, it is recommended to use C20 corrugated board.

The thickness of the profiled sheets should be chosen depending on the height of the fence. If it is, for example, up to 3 meters, optimal value will be 0.5 mm. For a higher fence, sheets of t. 0.6 mm are suitable.

When buying, you should pay attention to the flooring. More resistant is powder coating. Sheets must be double sided. Their outer side has a brighter color. Inside the corrugated board is gray.

For the manufacture of a fence from corrugated board, in addition to steel sheets, you will additionally need:

1. Pipes and bricks for supports. Steel pipes are taken rectangular or round section 60x60 mm with a wall thickness of 3 mm and a length of 3 m. The brick is used silicate, clay or facing. For laying columns from it you will need building mixture.
2. lags. These are transverse fencing elements designed to securely connect supports into a single frame. In addition, they serve as the basis for fastening profiled sheets. The material for the crossbars will be steel pipes rectangular section 40x25 mm with a wall thickness of 2 mm and a length of 6 m.
3. fasteners. It is needed for the installation of fencing sheets. These are roofing screws or metal rivets measuring 3.2x10 mm.
4. M200 concrete for mounting fence posts. If it is provided self-cooking, you will need cement, crushed stone and sand.

It is not at all necessary to choose metal pipes as racks for a corrugated fence. You can install wooden or asbestos-cement pillars. Wooden poles should be treated with a flame before installation blowtorch, and then a primer based on bitumen.

Pouring the foundation for the fence

Formwork assembly is an extremely responsible event. The fact is that after pouring concrete, the admitted formwork defects can no longer be corrected. Therefore, in addition to a semi-edged board, drill and screws, you will definitely need wooden lintels and brick supports for additional fastening of the entire structure.

The assembly of formwork panels is carried out in a trench and begins with the top board, which marks the level of the foundation. Its upper part should be 10 cm above the ground in order to avoid the accumulation of dirt on it during rains.

The reinforcement of the foundation is carried out using a three-dimensional frame made of metal rods with a diameter of 10 mm. In the frame, horizontal reinforcement is represented by two lower and two upper reinforcement bars. Vertical reinforcement - four short jumpers connecting horizontal rods at regular intervals of 1.5 m. The reinforcement is connected with knitting wire.

After installing the frame, pipes or powerful corners are lowered into the formwork to reinforce future brick columns. The installation of these elements is carried out using a plumb line and building level. Then they are fixed in it with short boards. After fixing the formwork with lintels and props, concrete can be poured into it.

When installing a corrugated fence, concrete preparation is done manually or using a concrete mixer. The composition of the mixture is used as follows: cement - 1 part, crushed stone - 6 parts, sand - 3 parts, water - 0.7 parts, concrete additives (liquid household soap) - 0.1% of the amount of cement.

It takes 30-40 minutes to manually mix 100 liters of concrete. After concreting, it is advisable to cover the formwork with a film to avoid drying out of the top layer of the coating, and it can be removed after a week in the presence of warm weather.

Massive strip foundation poured under brick columns in the usual way. If it is not planned to line the racks with stone, the bottom of the recesses under them is covered with a layer of crushed stone t. 200 mm, then the racks are installed and concreted with a cement mixture.

In order to prevent the soil between them from being washed out over time, instead of the foundation, the pipes of the supports can be connected with a recessed concrete tape with a total height of 20 cm. For its manufacture, along the lower part of the metal racks, wooden box. Its boards are fastened with wire or timber trimmings, and then lined with waterproofing from the inside. After pouring concrete into the box and setting it, the formwork is carefully disassembled. The resulting side will serve not only as a protection against washing out of the soil, but also as an obstacle to penetration under the fence into the territory of pets.

Instructions for installing a fence from corrugated board

The frame of the fence from profiled sheets is assembled from a metal pipe with a section of 20x40x2 mm using manual welding. The pieces of the profile pipe cut to the required length in a horizontal position are lightly welded to the vertical posts in 2-3 rows, the installation accuracy is checked building level. After that, the final welding takes place. A fence 15 m long takes about 2 hours of welding.

After their completion, anti-corrosion treatment of frame elements and places of its welding is performed. For this purpose, primer GF-020 is suitable, which can be applied to metal with a brush or paint sprayer.

For the installation of brick columns, facing bricks are used. Usually, experienced masons are involved in such work, because the quality requires it. When laying bricks, a mortar is used in the ratio of cement / sand 1 to 3 with the addition of a small part of liquid soap for the plasticity of the mixture. Masonry columns are performed alternately in 1 day to a height of 0.5 m.

The gaps between the masonry and the metal rack are filled with mortar while working on the column. Each row of masonry is reinforced with a mesh of 50x50x4 mm. To protect the upper end of the column from rain and snow, decorative caps are installed on it. This gives the fence a special expressiveness.

As an option, the racks can be lined not with bricks, but with artificial or natural stone. From this, the appearance of the fence will only benefit. However, such a procedure will require considerable investment.

Installation of a professional flooring is the last stage of production of a fence. In order not to damage the end of the profiled sheet during installation, it is recommended to lay cardboard on the foundation. Products are fixed on a profile pipe through a wave at the base of the corrugation. The connection is made with an overlap with self-tapping screws using an electric drill with a nozzle. You can take rivets, but they must be steel.

Aluminum fasteners can create between different materials structures, a galvanic couple, the appearance of which causes electrochemical corrosion of steel.

Sheets of profiled flooring in the same fence can be easily combined, for example, with forging. To make such a fence look attractive, you can use different arrangement its enclosing elements: the upper, Bottom part structures or spaces between them.

To maintain a good and attractive condition of the fence from corrugated board, a lot of effort is not required. It is quite enough to periodically clean it from dirt. Any solution containing soap will work for this. It is important that the emulsion does not contain solvents: they can damage the coating.

How to make a fence from corrugated board - look at the video:

A self-made fence made of corrugated board is a design that is ideal for a suburban area. Such a fence will protect it from dust and noise from the street, wind and sidelong glances. Considering all the advantages of a profiled sheet listed in this article and its convenient installation, we can safely say that it is difficult to find a more technological fence today.

The fence is important part landscaping of the suburban area. The main purpose of this design is to delimit land and protect the yard from intrusion by outsiders and even from their views (if the fence is solid).

A well-designed fence performs not only these functions: it completes the landscape decoration and testifies to the respectability of the owners of the summer cottage.

Fencing made of corrugated board

What fence is the most suitable for a suburban area? First of all, something, the costs of which are compensated by quality. A do-it-yourself budget fence on a suburban area is the easiest to design and make with your own hands from corrugated board.
The fence for giving from a professional flooring is optimal solution both in terms of cost and quality.

Such a fence has a number of advantages:

• acceptable budget cost;
• long service life;
• big choice color options professional sheets;
• ease of installation;
• undemanding care (the fence does not even have to be washed, rainwater is enough).

Corrugated fence: photo in the country

A fence made of corrugated board is erected in several steps:

1. Holes are prepared for supports at a distance of 2 to 2.5 m, their depth is in the range of 0.8-1.2 m.
2. The bottom of the holes is covered with a layer of gravel (layer thickness - about 20 cm).
3. Installed Basic structure made of metal (even placement of supports is achieved using a level).
4. The recesses are filled with a mixture of concrete and sand (the solution is prepared in proportions of 1: 8).
5. After the concrete-sand mixture has hardened, two cross-sections from a profile pipe are attached to the supports by welding.
6. Profile sheets are connected to the lags by self-tapping screws.

It is not difficult to design a budget fence made of corrugated board for a summer cottage, made by oneself, it will not take much time and will not require large expenses.

metal fence

A metal structure is also suitable as a fence for a summer cottage. How to make a metal fence in the country? It's simple - we draw a fence scheme, purchase materials and build a fence by welding.

Design technique metal fence similar to the construction of a fence from corrugated board, the only difference is in the sheathing. To create spans, a mesh, metal rods are used. In the process of manufacturing the frame, structural elements are connected by welding.

Specificity metal fence is that it can do without a foundation.

Forged structures, mesh fences, sectional fences or fences made of corrugated sheets.

Wrought iron railing does not apply to budget option, besides, in order to build it at their summer cottage, you need to work hard.

On a note! Fences constructed from iron rods belong to the economy category fences, but such structures are not deaf: the courtyard will be open to the views of passers-by.

Enclosing structure made of plastic

Plastic fences are considered an innovation in the improvement of suburban private areas. Plastic fences are easy to install, which is especially valuable for those who have the skills to assemble PVC fences and plastic profiles.

For the construction of such a fence, high-strength plastic is used, which has increased resistance to damage.

The advantages of a plastic fence abound:

• affordable cost;
• ease of care;
• simple installation;
• presentable view of the assembled structure;
• resistance to moisture, fire and deformation;
• resistance to fading under the action of sunlight.

Plastic is a material that allows you to create various variations of fences - deaf, like a picket fence or imitating wattle.

Important! The plastic fence does not dry out, is resistant to cracks.

brick fence

The construction of a brick fence is a responsible task, for the implementation of which a number of rules must be observed. Having worked hard on the construction, the owner will receive a durable fence, characterized by increased strength and aesthetic appearance.

Brick makes it possible to design beautiful solid fences that organically fit into any landscape design.

A properly constructed brick fence can withstand even heavy wind gusts.

How to put up a fence in the country with your own hands made of bricks? The construction of a brick fence is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. We make measurements of the length of the future fence and form an estimate.
2. We mark the site and dig holes for the construction of the foundation belt type.
3. After installing the supports, the base is immediately poured.
4. To avoid joints and increase the strength of the fence, the foundation should be erected in one go.
5. After the foundation hardens, brickwork is made. Bricks can be arranged in one row or made combined option. If the fence is high, the masonry is done in two rows.

Do-it-yourself country fence, photo

If there are no skills in working with bricks, use the help of professionals. Brickwork should be even. If experience is not enough, the structure can turn out to be unstable and unpresentable.

Wire mesh fencing

The first fences to be built with chain-link construction showed how well this material is suitable for the design of fences that let in light, to highlight the boundaries of sites. By installing a mesh fence on the site, you don’t have to worry about the indignation of summer residents neighbors that the fence obscures their landings.

There are several varieties of building chain-link mesh:

• with galvanized coating;
• ordinary;
• coated with plastic.

Important! An ordinary mesh will not last long, because rust will quickly appear on it, so you should immediately refuse such a fence. Opt for coated mesh - galvanized or plastic.

The plastic coated mesh is more suitable option for regions with a warm climate and coastal areas.

Plastic provides mesh fencing reliable protection from moisture, but does not tolerate temperature extremes. The most acceptable solution would be a galvanized chain-link mesh: it is considered the most durable.

1. The location of the supports is being marked. We place intermediate supports in a three-meter range, tension elements - at a distance of 9 m. We use metallic profile with a diameter of 60 mm, the size of the corners is approximately 50 mm or slightly larger.
2. For intermediate supports, we drill the ground to make approximately 40-centimeter recesses. For tension supports, holes are needed with a depth of 60 cm. If the soil in the area is clay or there are impurities, it is not necessary to concrete the holes. Such soil has the property of heaving, this can lead to the appearance of cracks in concrete in winter time of the year. Sandy or loamy soil should be concreted when installing pillars.
3. After installing the tension supports, connect them to other poles using bolts and metal corners using a welding machine.
4. When installing exclusively intermediate supports used as load-bearing structures, the mesh will be taut. But the fence will not be very reliable - for the reason that the sheathed lower part rises without difficulty, which makes it possible for illegal penetration of the territory, both by nimble children and thieves.

   To make the fence more secure, pass the 3mm wire through the mesh mesh in three horizontal directions. To stretch, make a drill in each support with three holes - they must be through.

5. We fix the grid on the supports. We are located in vertical position mesh roll at the support and check that the bent ends are at the top. We fasten the upper term of the grid to the top of the support and move to the next one, slowly unwinding the grid. The wire should be passed through the mesh between the supports and lead its ends into the existing holes. The wire rod is stretched and secured with bolts.

Wooden fence

What can be made inexpensive fence? The classic and simplest option for giving is considered a wooden fence. Among the designs made of wood there are such popular variations:

• wattle;
• fence;
• slab fence.

There is also a modern kind of wooden fencing - the "American ranch".

Wattle

To build a fence on the site, you should prepare branches, supports and pipes. Provided that the supporting structure will have a diameter of approximately 8 cm, it is preferable to use willow, birch, poplar branches, willow or flexible vine as spans.

For the construction of a simple wicker fence, branches of trees growing in the garden are suitable. But it is important that their cut is made at an angle of 60 degrees.

Stages of wattle construction:

1. Use logs as bases deciduous trees. The number of bases depends on the size of the proposed fence. The approximate installation distance of the posts is 50 cm. If the rods are thick enough, the interval can be increased. Place the last three supports at a distance of 20 cm from each other.
2. Process wooden elements protective impregnations, flame and pitch. Especially carefully it is necessary to process the bottom of the supports, which will be located in the soil: this will prevent the destruction of wood.
3. Weave the branches between the supports. Insert the first rod into the soil 15 cm and set it vertically. The rest, no matter how they are located, braid with wire rod around the frame and fasten the thicker end first, and place a thin branch along the support through the attached vine. Tap the fabric with a hammer in every fourth row. Arrange thin twigs in several pieces and remove the edges inside the wattle fence so that they are not visible.
4. Coat the finished hedge with varnish and plant plants along the fence that can climb along it, for example, ivy. A simple fence is ready.

picket fence

The picket fence is a ventilated fence consisting of wooden planks. The construction of the picket fence begins with the installation metal supports(requires pipes with a diameter of 60 mm).

Having concreted the holes, design the logs. Weld the cross-sections to the rod elements, overlapping them, and remove excess welding.

The next step is the installation of the gate and the installation of fittings. Close the end part of the pipes with plastic plugs in order to protect the supporting elements from moisture ingress and to prevent rust. Fix the planks of wood on the crossbars with self-tapping screws, at a distance of 3 cm.

Cover the fence with a ridge batten to make it more presentable. Air flows freely through the fence, which has a positive effect on the growth of horticultural crops.

Fencing sheathed with slab

Slab is called lumber with one sawn side, and the second can remain intact or have partial sawing. When working on a sawmill, logs usually remain, which can be used when filling spans, thereby saving on materials.

The croaker perfectly imitates wood; this material makes it possible to obtain an inexpensive, but aesthetic fence.

Sheathing the fence with a croaker is quite simple:

1. Remove the bark with an ax or a sharp shovel to prevent insects from damaging the fence. Polish the sanded material and treat it with an antiseptic.
2. Supports can be installed both from metal and from wood. If you chose the second option - suitable wood larch, pine or oak, with a diameter of 200 mm and a length of 2 m. Treat the bottom of the supports with heated resin. If the fence will have runs, leave a distance of 2.5 m between the posts.
3. If the soil is loamy, there is no need to strengthen the supports. Make holes in the places where the pillars are placed with a drill and hammer the pillars with a sledgehammer. If the soil is sandy or black soil, first make holes with a depth twice the diameter of the supports. Fill the bottom with gravel (a layer of about 10 cm) and tamp. Place each support in the center of the recess and fill it with gravel, checking the evenness of the installation with a level.
4. Sheathing is made in any direction. First you need to leave small cracks, and then close them with a croaker, with a bulge outward.
5. Cover the fence with varnish or paint it.
6. To protect the end of the supports, install cones made of metal or plastic.
   If the material is horizontal, fasten the beam to the supports with nails or self-tapping screws, overlapping it on one side and the other. To sheathe the fence vertically, saw the material crosswise, and fix it on the purlins with the convex part.

American wooden fence

To assemble an inexpensive American ranch-style fence, treat the wood with antiseptic compounds, especially the bottom of the supports - the part that will be in the ground. After that, mark the territory and place the supporting elements in the corners of the marked area of ​​the territory, concrete them and mask them with earth.

To make the installation of the posts even, pull a rope between them - this way you can optimally fill the space between the sections - and place intermediate supports at a distance of 2 m.

Do-it-yourself fence in the country, photo

The transverse elements are attached to the posts with nails; self-tapping screws are also used for this purpose.

The fence is varnished or painted.

Foundation

The choice of foundation depends on what material the fence will be made of.

Important! Brick and wood fencing needs a solid foundation. If you fill it correctly and correctly install the supporting elements, the fence will last for many years.

For the design of fences, two main types of foundation are used:

• tape;
• columnar.

Tape-type bases are designed in the following situations:

• when erecting bulky fences;
• if work is performed on heaving soils;
• when you need to design a massive blank fence that serves as an obstacle even for animals.

In order to build a strip foundation, you first need to dig a trench: its depth is 30-80 cm and even more if the soil is unreliable. After that, a sand and gravel cushion is prepared, the foundation is filled with water and connected with reinforcement.

The next step is the construction of the formwork and pouring it with concrete.

The post base is great for light railings. A properly designed pillar foundation can last no less than a strip foundation.

Stages of pouring the pillar base:

• With a drill we drill holes with a depth of 1-1.5 m and a diameter of 15-30 cm more than that of the supports.
• We make a sand cushion (you can add crushed stone), a layer of 20 cm and fill it with water.
• We install the supports evenly and fill the recesses with cement.
• We install spans.

Ways to decorate the fence

The fence in the country should be not only reliable, but also presentable in appearance, even if the economy class option is chosen. After all, the owners of summer cottages spend a lot of time in the garden, and any owner would like the fence to please the eye.

Looking through a lot of photos, you will surely pick up a photo or picture with a cheap option that suits you. decorative fence or check out our homemade hedge decorating ideas.

The best way to decorate a fence is to plant climbing plants next to it, such as grapes or pleasant-smelling hops. One-year-old weaving plants can also be planted.

Nothing is more pleasing to the eye than flower beds along the fences. Moreover, not only flowers, but also shrubs are planted next to the hedges for decoration.

Another original way decorate a fence in a summer cottage - paint it and make a gazebo or fountain next to it.

To decorate the fence, flower pots with bright colors are also great, which will delight not only their own. attractive view but also a pleasant aroma.

There are enough options for creating a fence in the country with your own hands. It is not so difficult to cope with this work: if you wish, it is quite possible to make both a beautiful and reliable fence.
