Brick Fence: Views

Since ancient times, man has sought to build a fence around his home from improvised material: wood, stone, a little later, affordable, durable, simple, but beautiful material brick.

At first it was necessary to protect yourself and your property.

But, at present, a brick fence is an indicator of the status, wealth and taste of its owner, a way to create your own cozy and special world, far from prying eyes.

It was not for nothing that we mentioned brick as the main material for the construction of fences. Its accessibility, strength, the possibility of color variations and masonry methods, as well as the ability to combine it with all available, both traditional and modern materials, made it simply indispensable in the construction of beautiful capital fences for the house and cottage.

All brick fences can be divided into:

• Combined brick fences: columns are laid out of brick and, possibly, the base of the fence, and the rest of it is made of wood, forging, corrugated board and other materials. Such fences can be both deaf and not.
• Brick fences with elements, most often forged. As a rule, these are blank fences, which serve to protect the house, with a height of more than 1.7 meters with elements of forged structures located, on posts or on the top of the brick walls-spans of the fence. It is these fences that we will examine in more detail.

The construction of any brick fence begins with a proper assessment of their financial capabilities: in spite of all its availability, pleasure is not cheap. It is necessary to draw up a project, to calculate all sizes: depth (depending on the characteristics of the soil and the mass of the fence structure, in the final version) and width, which depends on the planned height of the fence and, to some extent, personal preferences.

Mandatory steps in the construction of a brick fence will be:

• foundation construction: cleaning, marking the territory, digging a trench of a given size, construction of formwork and pouring the strip foundation and foundation itself under the support pillars with the obligatory use of reinforcement.
• installation of waterproofing on the entire surface of the foundation.
• installation of reinforcement and / or metal pipes inside the brickwork of the supporting posts, followed by pouring it with concrete.

• brickwork: for the construction of pillars or spans of the fence to be made with the installation of beacons for joints. A brick fence is also a decorative structure, which means that it must be neat, aesthetic, with the same thickness of the seams.

Brick and forging fence

Brick and forging fence    a status building, well combined with other design elements of any house from any material, whether it is wood or stone, brick.

And if only forging elements are used, then it is also deaf, intended, first of all, to protect the home from prying eyes of neighbors.

Indeed, in this case, the forging of artistic fences acts only as a decor (balusters, inserts, decorative stripes, caps, rings, tops, lining, finishes, etc.),

designed to decorate and give the brick, in principle, quite typical, by the method of construction, the fence, lightness, openwork and, most importantly - individuality.

Forged elements are installed after the main works on the erection of a brick fence, from above, because perform only decorative and protective (for the fence itself, in the case of installing forged visors and caps on the support poles) function, therefore, do not require additional thought over the fastening methods at the stage of erection of support poles, but can be attached in fact using a punch.

But, unfortunately, forging fences, especially on an individual order, is not a cheap pleasure, and it takes a lot of time to create an individual masterpiece.

And the independent manufacture of forged elements requires special skills and abilities, a blacksmith's tool and is not available to everyone.

Knowing this, many construction companies specialize in the manufacture and sale of finished forged elements for fences of the most popular patterns and shapes.

Of course, they are somewhat different from their truly artistic counterparts, but, nevertheless, they allow you to show imagination and creativity of thinking and create an original brick fence with forging elements, with much less financial and time costs.
