Estimates for the device of the fence from the professional

Basic construction elements

The underlying documents determining the amount of expenses for the construction of a fence is an estimate for the construction of a corrugated fence. It indicates the cost of all materials used for construction, components, accessories, as well as the implementation of the main types of work.

Estimates for the fence of corrugated board is made mainly subject to the involvement of third-party organizations, but even when you do the installation yourself, make a list of consumables and work is not superfluous. If you do not take into account the optimization of financial costs, then at least the time to build a fence of corrugated board can be planned more accurately.

Materials for the fence

Selection of profiled sheet metal

A typical estimate for the construction of a corrugated fence includes the following sections:

• Fencing materials.
• Bearing structures.
• Consumables and accessories.
• Work on the construction of supporting structures.
• Plating work.

It is in this sequence that we will describe the sections so that if necessary you can make a list with your own hands.

First of all, we need to decide on the choice of the corrugated board itself. For fences the following material marks are most often used:

• C8 is the most economical choice. The professional sheet of this brand has a small wave height, which is the reason for a rather modest bearing capacity (hence the low price). At the same time, this brand is produced in fairly large sheets, so when building large-sized fences C8 it is quite possible to use, especially when the requirements for the strength of the fence are low.

Profile brand C8

Note! The optimal objects for applying C8 are temporary fences around construction sites, etc.

• С20 (GL-20) - one of the options most suitable for permanent fences. It is more expensive than C8, but due to its excellent bearing capacity, it is much better suited for fencing. High wave prevents sheet deformation under the influence of wind load.

• C21  - Another option suitable for the fence. Meter width of the sheet facilitates the calculation of materials and contributes to reducing the amount of waste at the junctions of the fence. The cost is slightly higher than that of the C20, but due to the increased profile, this brand of professional sheet has greater rigidity.

Parameters brand C21

In addition to the material brand itself, the cost of the enclosing structure will also be affected by the profiled sheet. Absolutely all profiled sheeting used for the manufacture of fences, is subjected to galvanization.

In addition, to give it an attractive look and enhance anticorrosion characteristics such coatings are used:

• Polyester (glossy - up to 25 microns, matte - 30-40 microns).
• Polyvinyl fluoride coating - from 20 to 40 microns.
• Plastisol coating - up to 200 microns.

A professional sheet with plastisol is the most expensive, at the same time it can last much longer than a standard polyester-coated material.

Bearing structures and fittings

The next component, which necessarily includes an estimate for a fence from a profiled sheet, is the supporting structures.

In most cases, the frame of the fence consists of vertical supports and crossmembers:

• For corner supports, installed along the perimeter of the site, we use pipe sections of 80x80 mm. The pipe can be both round and profiled.
• Intermediate supports should be installed between the corner supports with a pitch of about 2.5 meters. The cross section of such a pipe may be somewhat smaller, because it is quite possible to use the 60x60 mm variant.

Bearing structure

Note! The length of pipes for supports depends on the density of the soil and on the height of the fence. On average, for the construction of a fence of 2 meters are necessary supports up to 3 - 3.5 m.

• Cross-pipes are installed between the pipes, to which the profiled sheets themselves are attached. For crossbars, it is best to take a rectangular pipe with a section of 40x20 mm.

In addition, for a full fence with a gate or wicket, we will need fittings to ensure their opening and closing. So the estimate for the installation of a fence made of corrugated board will be replenished with loops, bolts or other locking mechanisms, possibly with rollers for sliding gates, etc.

It is also necessary to take into account the consumables - mounting screws and rivets, electrodes, cutting and grinding wheels, concrete for installing pillars, etc.

Here is an example of an estimate for a fence device from a professional sheet, which indicates the main items of expenditure on the purchase of materials.

Performance of work

Carrier construction

The list of costs for the construction of the fence also need to include all the work performed. If you decide to do everything yourself, then on our website there is a very detailed video instruction. Well, and if the contractor company does the fence, then it is worth agreeing on all the stages of the work.

Mounted support structure

Most often the process of building a fence made of corrugated board looks like this:

• The marking of the site under the fence.
• Holes are drilled at selected points to install support posts.
• A mixture of rubble and sand is poured into the holes, which is then moistened and rammed.
• Vertical supports are installed, after which they are cast.
• Horizontal lags of thinner shaped pipe are welded to vertical supports.

Hinges are attached to the pillars.

Frame casing профлистом

After the construction of the frame is required to perform the following operations:

• The professional flooring is transported to the place of installation, and if necessary - is cut in accordance with the required dimensions.
• Profiled steel sheets are attached to the frame logs with rivets or screws. As a rule, this work is performed together with a partner.
• In some cases, an end plate for drainage is mounted on the upper part of the fence.
• A hinge or gate is hung on the hinges, as well as a locking mechanism is installed.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, the cost of each work must be specified in advance. It is more rational to establish the price of performing one operation, for example, installation of one running meter of fence, So it will be much easier to do the final calculation.

The fences from the profiled sheet shown in the photo in our article differ in quite reasonable cost. And yet, in order to plan work and optimize financial expenses, estimates should be compiled without fail, even if only you yourself will see it.
