• driven in or burzoabivnye columns - pillars that are installed by driving them into the holes made in the ground. To do this, use a special tool called a drill, or you can just dig holes. These holes or pits are then concreted, in which case they will stand for longer, or you can simply fall asleep with sand with stones and tamp;
• solid base of reinforced concrete, or strip foundation, significantly superior in strength and durability of the previous version. In addition, its use allows you to make the appearance of such a fence more noble and removes gaps at the base of the fence. The base can be improved by finishing from brick, stone, aluminum, can be painted or coated with primer;
• as an option, reinforced concrete may be replaced by brick, but in terms of durability, brick is inferior to concrete.

Installation of fencing

One way to install fencing

The technology of building a fence made of corrugated flooring is simple, it just sometimes requires some physical effort (see also the article How to build a fence of corrugated flooring with your own hands).

You are given instructions on how to build a fence with your own hands:

• Markup at the pillar sites. The distance between the pillars is determined by the length of the lag between the pillars. Best of all, if the length is such that the logs do not noticeably bend. Most often it is 2.5 - 3 meters;
• pits dig or drill for poles or dig a trench under the strip foundation. The depth of the pits is about a meter, depending on what kind of ground;
• poles are filled up or concreted, the strip foundation is poured;

Attention: Before filling the foundation, make a sand pillow, this will avoid the uneven freezing of the soil under the foundation.

• logs are mounted, these are cross-beams, metal profile rectangles to which professional flooring is attached. Installation of the log is performed by bolting or by welding;

Attention: Welded joints must be cleaned, degreased and painted in the same color as the posts or fence. If these compounds are not processed, they will soon begin to rust and the service life will be significantly reduced.

• after the installation of the lag, the profiled sheeting is mounted, at the same time self-tapping screws are most often used, less often bolt fastenings. Sometimes sheets of material are fixed with anti-vandal bolts. At will, sheets of a professional flooring are established both in vertical, and horizontal position.
