Installation

The design of such fences is extremely simple. Any reinforced concrete decorative fence consists of two components: sections and pillars. Sections of different models do not have any structural differences, while the pillars can be integral and prefabricated. The difference in installation depends on this.

To begin, consider how to install decorative reinforced concrete fence on ordinary concrete pillars.

1. Installationные работы следует начинать с подготовительного этапа, который предусматривает произведение разметки территории соответственно размерам секций. Стандартная секция сборного бетонного забора имеет габариты 500?2000 мм.

Tip! In order to facilitate the marking of the territory, simply cut a wooden bar 2000 mm long, measuring the distance with it. The distance between the pillars should be measured exactly into the groove, otherwise the section either will not fit between the supports or fall out.

1. Installation of the fence begins with a corner post. In the marked place, dig a hole about 70 cm deep, set the pillar on a level, and then concrete it.

Install the corner pillar.

1. Further by the same method we establish the second pillar.
2. Now you can install the section. Considering its weight, determine how much helpers you need for this, since here alone you clearly cannot cope.

Tip! When installing, do not install more than one or two sections at once, this may result in a skewed structure. Build up the fence gradually, as if you were laying bricks.

1. When you reach the corner, you should simply install two columns next to it (as in the figure below).

1. Repeat these steps until you complete the installation of the fence.

Instructions for installing fences on modular supports include the following steps:

1. Prepare the base for the post, digging a hole of standard depth, its width should be 50 mm wider than the block on each side. You should concrete this hole, having preliminarily installed vertically in it a rebar of 10-12 mm, the length of which equals the height of the fence + underground part.
2. Install the pillar section, concreting the free inner space. After that we install the next one, and thus we build the pillar.

Tip! It is very important to concrete each section separately, and not the entire column, since only in this way you can be completely sure that the solution has spread throughout the cavity of the column.

Installation of the first section of the pole on the base.

1. In the same way, install the second pillar.
2. The installation section in this case is fully consistent with the above method.

Tip! Upon completion of work, be sure to install a decorative cover on the pole In this construction, it also performs a protective function, since the concrete in the cavity of the column is washed out over time by rain and the fence may collapse.
