Materials for construction
Of course, fences made of stone, brick, corrugated board or wood are especially popular, but these materials are not budgetary and not everyone can afford such a fence.
At first glance, a cheap fence made of netting or welded wire mesh will also hit the family budget, given the cost of transporting and installing the fence. Despite this, the fence is still the face of the site, so you should not save on it.
There are many ideas on the topic of what you can make a fence. If you still decide not to spend money on expensive fencing, then take note of the options for the fence from improvised materials, such as:
- Waste pallets.
- Used slate.
- Various plastic parts, such as old containers.
- Production grid.
- Waste from the sawmill.
- Branches of bushes and trees.
- Raw boards.
- Scrap metal. If you have a car, you can visit the scrap metal warehouses and purchase pipes, poles and crossbars there.
- Used brick, stone and concrete.
Construction stages
How to build a fence with your own hands? So, the construction of the fence takes place in several stages:
Layout and layout. Before starting work, it is necessary to draw up a drawing of the fence indicating its size and location of the gate and gate. Then we transfer the drawing to the site for construction.
The boundaries of the future fence must be marked with pegs and pull the twine between them. Additionally, using pegs, you need to identify the location of the support pillars. The distance between them should be from 2 to 3 meters.
Foundation. If you are building a stone or brick fence, then keep in mind that such a massive structure requires a solid foundation. The approximate depth of the trench under the foundation is 70 centimeters, and the width is 40.
Installation of support posts. Masonry spans of the fence.
Having familiarized yourself in more detail with the stages of the construction of the fence, you will know exactly how to make the fence correctly.
Fence from corrugated board
A fence made of such material as profiled flooring will emphasize and highlight your site among others and reliably protect it from strangers. How to make a fence from corrugated board?
Installation of fencing from corrugated board does not cause difficulties even for beginners. The installation of such a fence is fully justified thanks to the advantages:
- Simplicity of technological work during installation.
- Material strength.
- Long service life.
- Modern style.
A self-made fence from corrugated board is an ideal option for a personal plot.
Fence for the seasonal dacha
You can make a fence in the country from such a popular material as mesh. Currently, there are many different options for the mesh, for example, mesh-netting, welded mesh.
In addition, modern production technologies provide for various protective materials that process the mesh. Thanks to this measure, the mesh fence can serve about 50 years.
Among the advantages of this type of fence can be noted a low price, transparency, ease of installation and ease of transportation.
Transparency in some cases can be attributed to the minuses of the material, as sometimes we want to completely hide from prying eyes.
Cost
The price of the issue during the construction of the fence depends on many factors. Here is some of them:
- Foundation dimensions. The quantity of mortar that will be used for construction depends on this parameter. Accordingly, the heavier the fence, the more massive the foundation must be laid.
- Fence size.
- Material for construction.
- Mounting. By installing a fence, you can save a lot if you decide to build it yourself without resorting to the help of specialists.
In order to find out how much it will cost to make a fence, you need to determine its exact dimensions and choose the material for construction.
1. For lovers of noble drinks
Colored glass is a material that always looks noble. After all, in natural light, he discards the sunbeams, which will revive even an ordinary summer house. To make the decor of the fence look decent, we recommend choosing unusual bottles of different colors.
2. Stone and wood
Gabions are interesting structures made of wire and metal that are used in construction. Moreover, they are a universal decor for a summer cottage. For example, from gabions in combination with wooden boards it will turn out to build a spectacular fence.
3. Funny pictures
An ordinary wooden fence turns into a decor for a summer residence, if you paint it with plain pictures. Children will certainly appreciate such an activity. To keep the paint on the tree for a long time, do not forget about protective impregnation for it.
4. Simple and tasteful
Who said the fence should be perfectly flat? It is worth choosing a board of different heights with a rounded top for its arrangement - and the fence will become original. If this is not enough, then paint the fence in a bright shade, in harmony with the color of greenery behind it.
5. Cozy eco-style
Branches are material that is more than enough at any dacha. Especially after the tree pruning season. Branches of a suitable shape can be fastened to the fence with a metal wire. Such a decor of the fence will help to further protect the site from prying eyes.
6. Guard at the gate
Curly ivy - the usual design of the fence. But from this, the living decor of the fence does not lose in its attractive form. Especially if you periodically cut ivy in the form of a shock of female hair, and draw a face under it. Such a fence will certainly not be left without the attention of others.
7. Plastic mosaic
Such a decor of the fence will require some preparation: you need to collect a sufficient number of multi-colored covers, having previously decided on the future pattern. If necessary, the covers can be painted in the desired color. Covers are attached to a wooden fence with screws or nails.
8. Bird's joy
From the side of the restless street, and even at a low altitude, the birds are unlikely to dare to make a nest. But in such birdhouses you can pour food, and then the birds will definitely not leave the fence without attention. Another option for lovers of peace is to plant live plants in birdhouses.
9. Embroidery on the fence
Such a trend as embroidery on the fence with ribbons is gaining popularity in many cities around the world due to the activities of street artists. Why not transfer it to our realities? Such embroidery with colorful ribbons will not require special skills. It is enough to decide on the pattern.
10. Mini-exhibition
Perhaps, on the outside of the summer cottage to arrange an exhibition of different things is not worth it. But the fence needs decoration from the inside. The decor of the fence can be very diverse - from birdhouses to mirrors and empty frames.
14. New life of old boxes
Several old boxes nailed to a wooden fence look like an organic addition to its design. It remains only to put flower pots with living plants inside the boxes - and the custom design of the fence is ready.
Features
It is well known that the fence performs several functions, regardless of where it is installed: between personal plots or between private ownership and the street.
- The first and main role that the fence plays is the protective. The fence is designed to protect the private area from prying eyes or the penetration of intruders.
- The second function is aesthetic. The fence should complement the exterior, combined with the surrounding landscape. Only then can it be called correctly executed.
- The third function is delineation. Regardless of how reliable the protective structure is, it visually separates one section from another, one object from another.
There is a huge selection of various barrage structures for every taste and color, but sometimes for some reason the landowner cannot buy or order a finished structure. This is partly due to the fact that he did not find the perfect option, but most often the matter is in the financial component. Ready-made fences are expensive, and even more expensive with installation. Then the owner may think of constructing a fence with his own hands.
In addition to the relatively low price, homemade fences have another feature - a limited selection of materials. This is due to the fact that it is rarely possible to find the same equipment at home that is used in large factories. We have to be content with what we have.
Advantages and disadvantages
The idea of constructing a fence with your own hands from improvised materials has both pros and cons.
The advantages of the independent manufacture of fences include:
- low cost of the fence - savings on materials and work are achieved,
- a wide variety - you can make a variant of any shape and appearance, everything is limited only by the manufacturer’s imagination.
There are disadvantages, but they still do not outweigh the benefits:
- increased time and labor costs - for someone who does not like to mess with repairs, the construction of such a device will seem a difficult undertaking.
- the need for preparation - you need to create an approximate sketch, draw up an accurate drawing of the future fence, calculate a certain amount of materials, make a layout of the territory, prepare the foundation - in a word, do all the “rough work” that you don’t even think about at first.
If you want to create a fence yourself, then you must first study the fence device, installation rules, types of structures and similar nuances.
There are many varieties of hedges that you can build with your own hands. An ordinary painted fence no longer impress anyone. Barriers are made from a wide variety of materials. They can vary in size - height and thickness. An important role is played by the foundation for the fence, which is an essential component for a solid fence.
By and large, all fences can be classified into three large groups:
The first two varieties are made of planks stacked either vertically or horizontally. Monolithic fences are made of solid canvas. There are also mesh, forged options, but they belong to a narrower classification, so they are not isolated separately.
First you need to decide which fence you want to install on your site. Whether it should be completely deaf, let in a little light or not protect the site from prying eyes - the choice is entirely yours. After the decision is made, you can determine the material.
Material
Today there is an abundance of options from which to make a fence. There are models made of concrete, brick, profiled sheet, forged gratings, stone, mesh, even ordinary plastic bottles - in short, from everything. However, it is extremely important that some materials are unsuitable for fences made at home.
So, concrete can serve as an elementary example. Many saw sectional concrete samples cast in molds with different decorative patterns that mimic the structure of natural masonry, a vine pattern, and the like. Frankly, creating such a design on your own will not work: the process is very time-consuming.
Another thing is that concrete is often used to make the foundation of fences. Such an application can be called traditional. The only option for concrete fence that can be performed independently is the design on special glasses. However, it is used mainly as a temporary fence due to poor aesthetic properties.
There are a lot of materials suitable for creating hedges with your own hands. Often they can be found at home or get almost for nothing, others will have to be spent. A common feature inherent in all options is ease of construction.
Only welding can cause difficulty when it is necessary.
Tree
Wood is the common name for several dissimilar materials. First of all, you need to understand that they are all united by the advantages and disadvantages inherent in wood.
- Wood reacts poorly to changes in temperature, humidity and similar atmospheric phenomena. Under the influence of moisture, it swells, can be deformed.
- All wooden boards dry out, and no processing can fix it.
- Wood is susceptible to decay; it is also often spoiled by various pests, for example, bark beetle. To protect the surface, it is repeatedly treated with special compositions and paints and varnishes.
- For work you will not need any expensive equipment. As a rule, everything you need can be found in your barn.
- Unedged board is extremely plastic, not to mention the vine. This opens up a huge field for experiments with the shape and appearance of fences.
- The tree is highly flammable; therefore, this option cannot be classified as fireproof. However, if the building is located at a considerable distance from the house and the likelihood of a fire is minimal, then this option is perfect.
One of the often created are slab fences. This is an unedged board, having a saw cut only on one side, and on the other hand, either a semicircular surface or a partial cut. The bark from the croaker is not removed, and depending on the lumpiness of the coating, the price for it also varies.
Less even options will cost less than relatively smooth ones.
The popularity of this material came with the advent of eco-style fashion. It is increasingly reflected not only in the interior, but also in the exterior. If you lay it horizontally end-to-end, it will create the illusion that you are in front of a fence of logs. This is what many designers use.
Due to the fact that the bark is not removed from the material, it is often damaged by all kinds of insects. When working with the croaker it is extremely important to pay sufficient attention to the preparation of the material, its processing. The bark must be removed, and the bare surface must be primed, sanded, covered with several layers of varnish for greater reliability.. Please note that such a coating is better than others for wood, as it allows you to emphasize its natural beauty.
A non-standard and unusual solution is the choice of bamboo stems as materials. The appearance of such a fence is extremely unusual, and the views will certainly be riveted to it. Before you establish yourself in your decision, it is necessary to keep in mind several features inherent in bamboo stems.
- Wood of this type is subject to severe drying out, so the stems must be prepared beforehand to protect against excessive moisture loss.
- If water gets inside the stems, then this will soon spoil such a fence. It is necessary to come up with a solution that will protect their internal cavity from the penetration of water.
Bamboo fence does not always go well with the landscape, as the material is quite exotic. If you are not sure that he will fit into the situation well, it is better to refuse his choice.
Despite such ambiguous characteristics, working with such material is easy and pleasant. Barriers from it are created quickly, but you should not expect a wide variety of options. Keep in mind that bamboo fences are usually made vertical rather than horizontal.
The most interesting material from wood can be called pallets. By and large, they are generally not material. Rather, these are already finished designs. It should be borne in mind that for the manufacture of such pallets using wood of tolerable quality. Small boards from which pallets are made can be very good at all.
The advantage of pallets is that they can be used both whole and unassembled. A fence made of parts of pallets can be durable and beautiful, but the option of solid structures will not yield to it at all. but in both cases, the wood needs additional processingeven though it was already processed at the factory.
Thus, the whole variety of materials made of wood opens up wide scope for imagination. You can choose an option for simple construction or choose more difficult, but show great creativity. It is necessary to coordinate the material and the surrounding landscape, among the wooden variations you can always find the right one.
Rabitz
Mesh hedges are often shared adjacent to each other sections, and all thanks to the features of the netting. It transmits light well, and is completely unable to protect the privacy of owners from prying eyes. Available in several versions, but suitable for barriers only with galvanized coating.
It protects the metal from corrosive processes, as a result of which the metal does not rust and will last much longer.
You will need to purchase additional materials for the grid: metal profiles or pipes as pillars for fastening. And it will also be necessary to acquire thick wire and anchors for attaching it to poles so that the fence from below cannot be bent.
The chain-link can be delivered with the expectation that it will serve to support a hedge of climbing plants. This option is cheap, while the result is a spectacular and colorful fence.
Decking
Barriers from corrugated board are more common than others. The material is used not only for the construction of blind fences for private houses, but also for fencing plots. To create a fence from sheets, you need a welding machine and some welding skills, for the rest, the process of installing such a fence is extremely simple.
The advantages of such a hedge include not only the ease of its installation, but also a huge selection of various decorative solutions. There is a material of different colors, glossy, matte, if desired, patterns are applied to them using airbrushing or other techniques.
Decking needs additional coverage. It will be necessary to reprocess the material with an anti-corrosion agentto protect it from rust. As an alternative to such a composition, paint can also be used, only it will be necessary to apply it in several layers.
Often, sheets processed in accordance with all the rules are delivered immediately from the factory. To install the option from corrugated board, additional materials will also be needed: metal or wooden support posts.
Plastic
To build a fence of plastic, you can use several options for raw materials. In the first case, whole layers of polycarbonate are used. This material stands out against the background of all others, largely due to its appearance. The panels are translucent, transmit light well, while distorting the space. This ensures excellent light transmission and the area is protected from unwanted glances. Plates are monolithic or cellular. The choice in favor of a particular variety is determined mainly by the available budget.
The second option is less traditional, more creative and, moreover, much cheaper.
So, for the construction of the fence using ordinary plastic bottles. To make such a fence is fun and uncomplicated. Bottles filled with air have high strength characteristics and at the same time they are very light. A more unusual way to build a fence is not to be found.
Such a fence will always attract attention, but if you choose bottles of cinnamon, green or other colors, the fence will turn out to be opaque.
Brick
Brick is a versatile material suitable for the construction of both buildings and adjacent structures, including fences. The brick version will have the strength that some other fences are so lacking.
The construction of a brick fence will require some time and effort, as well as the experience of conducting workbut the result will exceed all expectations. The brick looks solid, reliable, combined with almost all other materials, including wild stone.
The quality of the fence is largely determined by the quality of the brick itself as a material. Builders are advised to choose a red, not white brickif there is such an opportunity. Red is harder and stronger, and white is more attractive from an aesthetic point of view and combines with any environment.
Brick is also used to build the foundation for other types of hedges, for example forged ones. In this case, it is extremely important to pay enough attention to the choice of the mixture, and also to allocate as much time for solidification of the brick base as necessary.
A rock
Homemade stone fences are more common than it might seem at first glance. Both natural stone and artificial stone are popular. However, it is worthwhile to be prepared for the fact that the process of laying a stone fence is quite laborious. This is due to the characteristics of the material itself. The stones have uneven edges, uneven shape, as a result of which it is difficult to dock them, and you have to resort to various tricks and tricks.
Often you can find fences of a combined type in which some part (or foundation, or the fence itself) is made of stone. The stone is durable and reliable, so it is suitable for both foundation and masonry.
The material varies in size, color, porosity and many other characteristics.
Slate
Old slate sheets can be reinstalled, using them as a reliable and durable fence. Although actually this material is fragile enough: it can easily crack. It is not necessary to expose it to various mechanical stresses, and during forced transportation it is better to secure it as much as possible.
The main advantage of slate is that the fence will go well with the roof of the building. It is incredibly difficult to achieve such a full match, as in this case, therefore the original decision to use it for a fence is a winning one. From an aesthetic point of view, everything is not so simple. Someone will like this solution, but someone will not.
Metal
As the metal parts for the fence itself, any finished welded elements can serve, whether it be bicycle frames or headboards, frames of old beds. Everything will go into action.
If you liked any part of the old iron furniture, but you don’t know how to use it, then making a fence is one of the best solutions.
Dimensions
The size of the fence varies depending on what it is made of and for what purpose. For example, you can buy several linear meters of “chain-link” or with a dozen sheets of polycarbonate. In these cases, both the thickness and height of the fences will be different. The width is determined by the perimeter of the territory to be fenced. Distances are calculated immediately on the drawings.
Color solutions and design
There is a wide variety of design solutions for fences. This applies to both colors and textures, and drawings. They can be painted in various non-standard colors. On them you can apply any interesting pattern or ornament.
One of the novelties is the possibility of photo printing.. It is carried out mainly on the sheets of corrugated board. The drawing is applied to a large area of the canvas, sometimes to the entire canvas, as a result of which you can get the original effect of being in another place. For example, a house can be located in a wooded area, and a landscape with palm trees and a seashore can be applied to the fence.
Popular and hand painted. It is usually applied to wooden vertical fences to make them look a little more interesting. Both abstract ornaments and very specific motifs are chosen as the basis: images of animals, flowers, and the like.
The fence can be either just straight or wavy, ribbed, forged. The upper edge is also made out in different ways.
So, it can be convex, concave, with peaks, pins, or other shapes.
Essential tools and mixes
To carry out construction work, additional tools and accessories may be required. In addition to obvious devices, such as a shovel for digging holes for the foundation, a screwdriver for installing screws and others, you will need specialized ones designed to work with a certain material.
For example, choosing a professional sheet, you need to think about how to cut it, how to install fixtures. Anchors or other additional elements may be needed.
As for mixtures, then in First of all, solutions for processing materials are useful.. It is necessary to apply solutions in order to protect the details of the future fence from the negative effects of the external environment, and to prevent corrosion or decay.
Also in all cases, a cement mortar or cement-sand mixture is needed. The ratio of sand and concrete, as well as the required concrete grade, is determined separately for each specific case. It is necessary to produce the mixture strictly according to the instructions indicated on the package, otherwise the strength properties of the entire constructed structure may be affected.
How to do it yourself?
There are many options, each of which requires an individual approach. At the very beginning of the work, two things must be remembered: these are safety measures and regulatory requirements for fences. Be sure to familiarize yourself with SNiPs that regulate such construction activities.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of the fence with your own hands, you must mark the area in accordance with your drawings. Do not forget to check if there are any communications underground. For example, before you hammer an iron pile into the ground, you need to make sure that high voltage cables are not laid a little lower. If such a check has not been carried out, and the cable is really in the same place, then you risk not only de-energizing the entire area, but also losing your life.
It should consider schemes for the construction of fences from certain materials in more detail. Having studied the question in detail, you will get the opportunity to choose the right option yourself, correctly carry out the preparatory work, lay the foundation in accordance with all requirements.
Wooden
To build a wooden fence is quite simple. There are several ways to do this:
- use pallets
- make from boards.
Both of these options deserve attention, since their construction does not take much time and effort.
Construction from pallets is extremely simple. Ready-made pallets are simply connected to each other without disassembling pallets. It turns out a fence about a meter high. Usually such a height is enough, since the main fence is not used for pallets.
The option of the boards can vary in height. Usually such a fence is made vertical and dull, however, it can be horizontal. It is extremely important to lay the boards a little overlap (2 cm), because over time the material is dry, and to ensure privacy, it is necessary that the fence still completely covers the site.
As supports, both wooden poles and metal poles can be used. note that wooden piles need additional processing and waterproofing. Since the fence will not turn out to be too heavy, it is not necessary to make a fortified foundation - it is enough ordinary.
From croaker
The fence from industrial waste - croaker - is being erected in a similar manner to that from ordinary boards. The croaker is more prone to drying out, therefore it is extremely it is important to treat it with special moisture-proofing impregnations after the surface is cleaned of bark.
Please note that for the fence it is not necessary to choose a material with a perfectly flat surface. Knots and other shortcomings, primed, processed properly, can be turned into dignity by making a fence in accordance with the eco style.
After the construction, the fence can be painted, although designers are strongly advised to do without it. The texture of the tree and the interesting form of croaker are already quite decorative in themselves. The same goes for the top edge. Do not round it or make it curly.
Do not forget to overlap the boards to level the effects of shrinkage. Remember that the croaker looks best when a vertical fence is made of it, as this achieves the most complete illusion of a solid log fence. Supports can also be decorated with slabs of slabs. This will complete the picture.
Bamboo
Bamboo fencing is a real exotic. They can be reliable or not very. Often shields of bamboo framed with a metal frame, welding it at the corners to make the structure more resistant to different kinds of influences, both mechanical and weather.
Sometimes, ordinary twine can be used to fasten bamboo stems, but this option is not the most reliable: in winter, the ropes can break. This does not apply to situations where a bamboo shield was bought with a roll already with twine. As a rule, factory samples are specially processed.
Difficulty can arise with how to close the stems from above from the penetration of moisture into them. Finding an aesthetically correct, cheap and at the same time simple solution is easy enough. Here you can use an ordinary board, slightly wider than the width of the stems. The board is laid flat on the stems and fixed at the posts.
For a horizontal fence, such a measure is not needed. Keep in mind that for poles or horizontal beams, it is best to choose the same bamboo stems, although metal can also be preferred. Do not forget to handle all the details of the structure with a special antiseptic.
Wicker
Surely wicker fences at least once everyone saw. Wattle has long been not used as the main fence, but exceptions are always encountered. Basically, weaving is chosen to isolate flower beds, flower beds, and also just to stylize a particular corner of the garden.
Wattle is created both from rods and from branches thicker and stronger. Even a child can build a small fence. It is important to pay attention that the rods are flexible and pliable, but at the same time durable: they must be hard to break: it is best to choose fresh branches for construction. Last year’s also suitable, but they will need to be soaked first. Preference is given to alder, willow, birch rods, as they are both flexible and tear-resistant.
Particular attention to the foundation of such a fence. Racks are driven into the ground at a distance of 50-60 cm from each other, depending on the thickness of the rods. Supports can be both wooden and metal. Please note that in this case, the step between the racks is several times smaller than usual.
An alternative way to make a wicker fence is to make it from boards.
The implementation of this option is somewhat complicated by the fact that the boards are not as malleable as rods, and it can be difficult to twist them. The result will fully justify the effort: the fence will look solid and impressive.
Particular attention should be paid to the supports, since several specific requirements are imposed on them. First of all, racks must be made of metal. This is due to the fact that they are subjected to high loads, since the pressure of the boards is high. Secondly, such piles always cementso that they do not break out of the ground, do not change their vertical position.
After the construction is completed, the entire structure is painted to further protect it from the negative effects of the external environment. It’s important to use paint, not varnish.so that the metal piles do not knock out against the background of the overall composition and are invisible.
From the net
This option is considered one of the most economical. Its popularity is partly due to this. Chain-link fences are durable, resistant to temperature extremes and other weather conditions, they are easy to install and unpretentious to care for. Grids are presented in a huge assortment both in color and in cell size. It is this variety that makes the netting unique, because you can choose the option for any needs.
In this case, it is best to use metal poles that are concreted when embedded in the ground.. You will need fasteners, since you can not fix the Rabits grid on the screws. You can also use twine if it is not about building a protective fence, but just a dividing one.
To prevent the mesh from bending from below so easily, use a thick wire. It is passed through the cells and pulled between the pillars, fixing with anchors in a taut state. This decision makes the site more inaccessible to thieves, and also does not allow stray animals (including wild ones) to get here.
Processing the grid is not necessary, since the galvanized version is already fully prepared for installation.
From corrugated board
The undoubted advantage of constructing a fence from a profiled sheet is that you do not need to make a preliminary drawing. All that is needed is to mark the position of the fence, mark where the gate will be, and install beacon stakes right on the site at the sites where the support posts are installed. The step between them should be 280-300 cm, depending on what kind of wind load the fence will be exposed to.
The more windy the terrain, the more often the supports should be.
The bottom of the pit holes must be strengthened with rubble or gravel. The fence from corrugated board weighs a little, but also a lot, so you need to protect it from sagging. Racks must be installed strictly verticallyby checking their location level. Otherwise, the fence will quickly warp and collapse. Horizontal bars - logs - should also be metal.
All work is performed by the welding machine, with the exception of the fasteners of the corrugated sheets themselves. They must be fixed with self-tapping screws, stacking sheets with an overlap. The mounting step is 15-20 cm.
Stone
The stone fence can rightly be called the most durable of all. If laid correctly, he is quite able to stand for more than one century. For construction, it is necessary to make a preliminary drawing, on which it is necessary to note what the height, thickness and width of the fence will be, where to allocate space for the gate. Then mark the site directly using stakes installed at the corners, and a rope stretched between them.
The construction of the fence begins with the installation of special forms of plywood along the marking lines. Stones are laid inside this structure, then the setting of the cement mortar is awaited, and only then the mold is removed. This ensures the evenness of the sides and corners of the stone fence, which is especially true when building stone columns or pillars.
The stones can be selected so that the cement joints are visible well or completely hidden from the eyes. Filling of the fence also varies: you can simply fill in the cement mortar, laying the stone only on the outer sides, or you can create a fence completely stone.
Tips & Tricks
Craftsmen willingly share tips on how to properly erect a fence so that all work goes as smoothly, quickly and easily as possible.
- Never neglect the foundation for the fence. You can refuse it only if the fence is temporary. It is completely impossible to remove the base: in the spring, the hedge can squint, deform, or even collapse.
- The depth of burrowing of supports should exceed the depth of freezing of the soil. Usually this value is 100-150 cm, so you need to dig the piles deeper.
- Do not proceed to the next stage of construction work, if the previous one is not yet completely completed. For example, you should not proceed to laying the next layer of cement, if the previous one has not dried out yet. An exception may be only works in which strict adherence to this rule is not necessary and this was agreed in advance.
- Do not proceed with the construction of the fence if you have not checked the norms of SNiP.
All fire regulations, as well as the permissibility of installing one or another structure between adjacent sections or on the street, are described there.
Reviews
Most people speak out positively about their experience in building homemade fence structures. Most often, simple options were chosen such as fencing from corrugated board, mesh netting or others. There were also cases when a laborious option was chosen: stone, brick, wicker from boards.
The greatest difficulties arose with laying the foundation. It was necessary to create it perfectly smooth, so I had to constantly check the construction level. It was also not easy to lay waterproofing correctly. Someone used ordinary resins. These people noted that the result was no worse.
For many, work was complicated by weather conditions. With dryness and heat, the concrete dried too quickly, not having time to gain strength, as a result of which it cracked. In the rain, on the contrary, the composition did not dry out at all. Therefore, it is advised to carry out work in late April and May, when the weather is optimal for construction.
Interesting examples and options
Below is a photo gallery of examples of how a home-made fence, erected in a country house or in a private house, can transform the surrounding landscape.
Unusual design create rare in shape lumber. In this case, round cuts are selected, and the bark on them is preserved. The fence rather serves decorative purposes.
The wicker fence looks original. It goes well with a log house, but contrasts strongly with the street. Such options are best chosen for suburban buildings.
