The first primitive fences made of natural materials were built using stone and wood. And only later began the construction of brick and concrete structures, which we see everywhere in suburban and suburban areas.

Varieties of fences

Varieties of fences and fences amaze and shock with their abundance. This is the first-born of the fence of the netting netting, and wooden fences, and more modern eurofences. Naturally, it is very difficult to determine the best design.

Depending on the material used and the material used, the following types of fencing structures are distinguished:

• wicker

• stone

• wooden

• from welded panels (corrugated board)

• using coarse galvanized wire mesh

• brick

• eurofences.

Wicker fences have the most reverent connection with nature. With all their numerous rods and stakes, they literally come in contact with air, sunlight and gusts of wind. A wicker fence was characteristic of most of the fences of the old-world Ukrainian country houses of the last century. Looking at the wicker fence, it seems that a black-browed maid will now leave the house and go to the wicker fence, where the blacksmith Vakula is waiting for her in a weary wait.

However, the lyrics are the lyrics, but still I sometimes want to hide from the prying eyes of neighbors or passers-by behind a high and solid fence, preferably with automated gates and a video surveillance system on the facade.

Therefore, the decorative fence on the site should provide, first of all, the basic protective functions.

The main stages of the construction of the fence

The construction of a fence of any design will consist in creating a strong fence perimeter. In order to install a fence, it is necessary to carry out the installation of support poles. According to the preliminary design scheme, drilling holes in the ground. Types of poles for the fence are divided into:

  wooden

  asbestos cement

  metal

  concrete

  brick.

The reliability and durability of the entire structure depend on the qualitatively selected type of pillars. Therefore, at the stage of selecting the posts for the fence, you must consider:

  type of installed sections and options for their subsequent mounting

  correctly calculated distance between free-standing posts

  the estimated depth of the pillars (calculated individually for each type of fence)

  installation of pillars and additional underground metal fixators and dressings

  subsequent filling with crushed stone and pouring concrete.

After construction activities for the installation of supporting poles, the selected type of plates or sections of the structure are fastened.

DIY fence installation

The best option for building a fence on a summer cottage is to order any type of fencing in specialized companies. If you still prefer to do the installation of the fence yourself, then the fence can be made of the most popular material: metal corrugated board, brick, metal picket, as well as from welded sections or plates.

The most profitable and fastest, from the point of view of construction and works, is a fence made of netting. Such a mesh construction is preferable for seasonal summer cottages or in the case when a solid solid fence has already been installed in the neighboring plot. Then why do next the second of the same type?

Installation of the construction from the netting net is made from the reinforcement of the supporting pillars. Subsequent fastening of the mesh to the frame is carried out using special fasteners, which are supplied in a common kit. How to install the fence from the grid will help the recommended video.

Decking is one of the cheapest and quickest materials, in addition, the life of the fence from profiled sheets is quite long.

The fence posts from the corrugated board are selected taking into account the bearing ability to hold the structure for a long time. The choice of metal or brick pillars on a concrete base or a monolithic foundation is preferred.

For supporting poles, metal pipes are used that are previously protected from corrosion by enamel. Pillars are installed in drilled holes using a sledgehammer, followed by vertical alignment. The preparation of the mortar and the professional laying of brick poles for installing corrugated board is shown in the next video.

Wooden fences and brick structures continue to win the hearts of owners of summer cottages and country houses. But, unfortunately, a wooden fence with their own hands will last a little time, because the wood is subject to constant negative temperature and humidity effects. In terms of protection, strength and durability, brick structures are significantly superior to wooden ones. However, among the shortcomings of a brick fence with their own hands, it should be noted not only the monumentality of the design, but also the duration of the construction and installation works. Indeed, for the heavy construction of a monolithic brick wall, a powerful strip foundation is needed. And the installation price will also increase significantly, the deeper the foundation foundation.

Modern eurofences

And finally, the incredible popularity and respect among the developers of summer cottages acquired Euro fences. What is affordable eurofence? Of course, this is in accordance with the following European criteria and standards:

  gorgeous and respectable appearance

  the ability to install in any soil with the ability to vary the height

  quick and easy installation

  durability and fire safety

  insignificant democratic cost.

Professional installation and selection of the eurofence, perhaps, will be able to succinctly answer the question: Which fence is better ?. To see this, check out the suggested video.
