Material selection

In order for the hedge you erected to be durable and durable, you need to choose the right flooring for the fence under the tree.

This will help you a simple instruction:

• The minimum thickness of this material should be 0.5 mm. At the same time, one should not purchase material that is thicker than 1.2 mm, since such sheets will cost more, but they will not add significant reliability to the structure.
• Trapezoid profile can be in depth from 8 to 75 mm. And the deeper the relief of the sheet, the more expensive it will cost, because this increases the number of steel per unit area. Therefore, consider this parameter based on the size of your budget. The optimum profile depth is 25 mm.

Types of sheeting

• Profiled sheets are galvanized or coated with polymeric compositions of different colors on one or both sides. The material with a double-sided polymer coating can boast the highest corrosion resistance, but of course, the cost of such a material will be high.

Tip! If rust appears on the galvanized corrugated sheet, then you can sand it and paint it, which will significantly prolong its service life and return the original look to this material.

• Modern technologies allow to produce professional sheets of various lengths. But for the construction of fences will be optimal length of 2.5-3 meters.

Tip! A professional sheet fence has a sail effect, so if you make the sections too large, strong gusts of wind can damage them.

Fences made of corrugated wood are installed exactly the same way as the fences of the usual professional sheet.

1. Preparatory stage.

• Make a plan for future work, calculating the required amount of material. Try again not to cut the sheets of material and keep in mind that in the joints the installation is best done with an overlap.
• Calculate the number of supports, based on the length of the fence and the distance between the spans.
• Pillars is best to choose steel pipes with a diameter of 60-70 mm. The thickness of their walls should be about 3 mm.
• Dig holes under the pillars. If the soil is clay, then it will be enough to dredge at 70-90 cm, for loose sandy soil the depth should be increased to 120 cm minimum.

Tip! The underground part of the pillar must be at least one third of the aboveground. Only in this case, the design will be truly durable.

• Calculate the length of the lag. In the simplest case, the total lag length (upper and lower guides along the span) will be equal to two lengths of the fence structure.

1. Installation of pillars.

Leveling pillars by level.

• We pour gravel or rubble into the dug holes so that it covers the bottom.
• Install the pillar.
• Fill the pit with a thick concrete mix.
• We expose the column strictly vertically and fix it with the help of any available support.
• We are waiting for the concrete to gain strength (usually it takes about three days).

1. Mounting guides. Depending on which type of log you have chosen, they can be attached to support posts in two ways:

• Self-tapping screws.
• By welding.

As a result, the fence frame should look like the photo below.

1. Sheathing with a profile sheet. Sheets are fastened through the wave at the bottom of the profile. Sheets are reinforced with screws or rivets.
