A fence made of corrugated flooring - an economical

Types of fences for private and country houses an incredible amount. Gates and gates from the profiled sheet are very popular today due to their aesthetic appearance, long operational resource and relatively low cost. The fence made of corrugated board can be sectional (in the framework of the corners) or solid, and the supports for it can serve as metal round or shaped pipes, brick or stone pillars. The fence made of corrugated board with wood imitation has recently become popular with our citizens. We will tell you today about the most economical way to install such a fence.

Sectional fence on brick supports

Preparation of materials

Before purchasing materials, measure the perimeter of the site and determine the height of the future fencing. This data will allow you to correctly calculate the required number of pillars and order professional sheet of the desired size.

Materials for poles and crossbars

• The number of supports is easy to calculate by dividing the perimeter by 2.5 meters - this is the optimal distance between the supports, which is not recommended to exceed. As the supporting pillars, it is best to choose a square shaped tube with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm. The length of the pipe is determined by adding the height of the fence to the ground level and the magnitude of its penetration.

Prothrub for supports

• The crossbar, to which the corrugated board will be mounted, can be made of a rectangular profile 40x20 mm or a steel angle with a shelf of at least 32 mm. But it is better to use a profile. The total length of the rails is equal to the double or triple perimeter of the fence - depending on the height of the fence.

Propeller for crossbars

Attention! Since both the profile and the corner are most often sold in segments of 3 or 6 meters, when purchasing, please note that they will have to be cut off in order to dock on the support. Or be ready to weld crossbars on weight, reinforcing the junction point with metal plates.

Decking

Of course, such a fence is not the cheapest option for the fence, but it has much more advantages than disadvantages.

Choosing a profiled sheet for the fence, pay attention to its thickness and the height of the ribs. Sheets with a thickness of less than 0.5 mm can be deformed even by strong wind.

The greater the height of the profile trapezoid, the more rigid the construction will be

The number of sheets is calculated on the basis of their width, taking into account the overlap.

In addition to the listed materials, you will need roofing screws with rubber gasket in the color of the professional sheet.

The order of work

Mounting the frame

The skeleton of the fence consists of vertical supports and horizontal crossbars, connected to each other and supports by the welding method.

1. Install the corner posts, deepening them into the ground at 1.3-1.5 meters. Put fine gravel on the bottom of the pit, tamp it down, put supports on this pillow and fill the gaps between them and the pit walls with concrete.
2. On the same line between the corner posts, install intermediate supports in the same way. They can be deepened by 1.2-1.3 meters, and the distance between the supports can withstand no more than 2.5 meters.

Installed supports

1. Weld the cross-beams from the profile pipe from the outside. They should go parallel to each other.

Council The upper crossbar is welded so that from it to the upper edge of the profiled sheet is not more than 20-30 cm. Exactly the same dimensions should be observed for the lower crossbar relative to the lower edge of the professional sheet.

Ready frame

1. Sand the joints in the places of welding of two profiles and paint the finished structure with special paint for metal.

Mounting a profile sheet

It is very important to correctly level the first sheet. Use for this the usual building level. Further, due to the clear geometry, the sheets will be joined smoothly; it is enough just to align their edges with the sheets already installed.

Mounted profiled with roofing screws, which are screwed through a single wave.

Professional flooring

Council In order for all the screws to line up and fall exactly on the crossbar, first secure the sheet along the edges, and then pull the cord between the extreme screws.

Conclusion

This method of the device of a fence from a professional flooring will demand from you a minimum of time and expenses, and also the minimum quantity of welding works. For those who decide to make a fence on their own, this can be a decisive moment.
