Fence

What kind of fences can not be found today! And the usual wooden, and from the profiled sheet, and brick, and forged. All of them have their advantages, but not without drawbacks. However, about the fence from the 3D welded mesh, we can say that it has no flaws, except for the absolute transparency of such a fence.

Fragment of the top of the fence

The grid of fairly thick metal bars serves as a fencing structure and at the same time does not block the light, does not hide the beauty of the house and the site, visually expands its boundaries.

Of course, more beautiful wrought iron fences can boast of all these advantages, and many will prefer them, despite the high cost of such products. And 3D fences will continue to gain popularity due to such qualities as low price and quick installation.

Description and characteristics

3D fences are sectional structures welded from steel rods, which are attached to the supports with the help of special clamps. V-shaped bends of vertically located rods, reinforced with horizontal bars (see photo above), add additional rigidity to the fence. Such horizontal spatial profiling gave the construction the name 3D.

It is ideally suited for the construction of fences for summer cottages, perimeters of cottage villages, areas of schools, parking lots, sports and warehouse complexes, factories, etc.

Scope is not limited to private households.

Accessories

3D fence from the manufacturer comes ready for installation and consists of the following elements:

Mesh sections 2.5 meters wide with several horizontal stiffeners welded from galvanized steel bars. The height of the section may be different, in the standard version it is 1.5-2.5 meters. The standard mesh size of the grid is 50x200 mm, but at the request of the customer it can be changed.

For reference. The minimum bar diameter is 3.7 mm, but it can be thicker. For example, the fence of the welded mesh Gitter 3 D is made of rods with a diameter up to 5 mm.

Support poles of round or square cross-section with mounting holes and wall thickness from 1.5 to 2 mm. The pillars are equipped with special plugs to prevent the penetration of atmospheric moisture into them.

Attention. Depending on the method of installation, the posts can be equipped with flanges or screw supports.

Special fasteners - metal or plastic clamps and brackets.

Elements of construction

All components are resistant to climatic influences. The welded fence mesh has a powder or PVC coating, the supporting pillars are painted with powder paint in any of the colors of the RAL table at the request of the customer.

Main advantages

The ever-increasing popularity of fences 3 D gain thanks to many of its qualities and characteristics.

High transparency ensures unimpeded movement of air and penetration of sunlight to plantings and plantings, does not limit the view. At the same time, such a fence reliably protects the site from unauthorized access to it by unwanted guests. That is why 3D fences are especially in demand for a summer cottage, a personal plot and other territories where fruit, vegetable and flower crops are grown.
Low cost compared to many other types of fencing is another important factor influencing the choice of such a fence.
The ability to choose any color that corresponds to the design of the site and buildings located on it.

The supporting pillars and gratings can be of the same or different colors.

High installation speed. 3 D fences are very quickly and easily assembled from separate sections thanks to special fixings. The main time is the installation of the pillars, but if you do it not with your own hands, and use the services of specialists with professional equipment and tools, the installation will take quite a bit of time, even in very long sections.

Drilling of soil for installation of support

Quality and reliability. 3 D fence refutes the popular belief that cheap cannot be of high quality. The technology of its manufacture is based on circular welding, due to which the lattice rods are almost impossible to break. Therefore, in its reliability, it is not inferior to solid metal or stone fences.
Durability. It is provided with high-quality external protection of all structural elements.
Ease. Each section has a small weight, which allows you to install fences for giving 3D without the use of technology and a large number of assistants.
Convenience of operation. Throughout its service, which can reach 15-20 years, 3D fence will not require any maintenance or repair from you.
Aesthetic and modern look.

Production of 3D fences is carried out by many Russian enterprises on imported equipment, according to European technologies and standards.

Welding line for the production of 3D fencing

Among the most popular are the fences TerraFence, Fensys, City, Gitter. All of them are of high quality, long service life, and do not require maintenance and additional investments during the entire period of operation.

Installation of welded mesh fences

As already mentioned, thanks to the modular design, the 3 D fence is easily and quickly mounted on supports using special fasteners. You can do it yourself, even without any experience. The main task is accurate marking and high-quality installation of pillars around the perimeter of the fence.

Ways to install supports

There are several basic ways to install support pillars: concreting, butting, installation on flanges and on screw piles. After reviewing the video presented on this page, you will be able to understand how one of them is implemented.

And then we briefly tell about each.

Concreting can be carried out partially or to the entire depth of the underground part of the support. The first option is applied on sufficiently strong soils. The pillar is buried about 1 meter into the ground, but only the upper half of the burial is concreted. Full concreting is used on light and weak bulk soils.

Partial concreting

Attention! The instruction requires that the installation of mesh modules on the poles should be carried out only after the concrete has completely cured.

Rubbing rubble. The pole is installed in a pre-drilled hole not less than a meter deep, after which it is gradually filled with sand and rubble with a fraction of 5 to 20 mm and carefully rammed. At the same time it is necessary to monitor the vertical position of the support.

For reference. This method is good for heaving and marshy soils with a high clay content.

Installation on the flanges is carried out in the case when there is already a ready-made strip foundation. The flanges welded to the pillars have several mounting holes through which they are attached to the foundation with anchor bolts.

Flanged post

Installation on screw piles for the fence is done quickly and without excess dirt. Piles with flanges are simply screwed into the ground, after which the bases of the pillars are attached to them.

Fences for giving 3D are the easiest to install on screw supports

This method is the fastest and least time consuming of all. Installation of sections can be started immediately after the installation of supports, without waiting for the concrete to dry.

With each of the above methods, it is necessary to observe the exact step between the supports, equal to the width of one module - 2.5 meters.

Installation of fencing sections

This part of the work usually does not cause difficulties even with self-assembly. Production of 3D fences includes the manufacture of modules of the same width and the arrangement of holes in the posts for their fastening.

Therefore, after installing the supports, you will only have to fix the panels on the supports with the help of special tools that are included in the package: clamps, brackets or pressure plates with bolts and nuts.

Mounting options on the clamp and on the bracket

The only difficulty is the formation of corners. Since each column has only one row of holes, the second one will have to be drilled independently with a drill for metal of a certain diameter. Although you can simply use metal screws to attach the section to the support.

Conclusion

Any kind of fences has its advantages. The wooden fence is beautiful and eco-friendly, stone or concrete is thorough and durable, the fence from the profiled sheet is easy to install and maintain.

And the 3D grid has all the listed advantages at once, but almost no drawbacks. Therefore, it is not surprising that an increasing number of homeowners and managers of various enterprises choose it.
