Fence from a chain-link grid: types and features of

The grid the chain-link for a fence - excellent option for a garden site.

Rabbit mesh fences are very often used to enclose the territory of suburban areas. Whether it is a garden, a vegetable garden or a small country house, such a structure would be an excellent fence and a means for delimiting the territory. In addition, this fence network is very often used as a support for vines planted nearby.

Naturally, the netting of the chain-link is most often used to enclose garden plots, since such a construction does not create a barrier for the sun's rays and is capable of ensuring normal ventilation of the plot. As a result, the plants planted near such a fence will not suffer from a lack of lighting while in natural conditions.

The advantages of this barrier

1. Perhaps the main advantage of this fence is its price, which is significantly lower than the cost of any other type of fencing.
2. Easy to install. You can easily build such a fence with your own hands, even if this is your first experience in installing barrier structures.
3. Whatever the height of such a fence, it does not create a sense of enclosed space.
4. Durability and durability.
5. Such designs do not need special care. As needed, you should only refresh the layer of anti-corrosion coating or paint the network with special paints.
6. There are many ways to decorate such a fence with climbing plants, creating the illusion of a hedge. Decide what to plant along the hedge, giving the design an original look.

Mounting mesh fence

Before you install a fence from the chain-link with your own hands, you should decide on what material you will use and how much you will need it for work.

The choice of material and the calculation of its quantity

At the moment there are two types of the chain-link:

1. Tension mesh fence. Installation of such a fence from the netting of the chain-link takes place directly at the place of construction. In the course of the work, supports are installed on which the metal net is subsequently tensioned. In this case, you can apply various methods of its stretching, which allows you to get a fence of varying strength.
2. Sectional mesh fence. He is like a designer assembled from ready-made mesh modules, which are fastened to the supports installed in the ground. This design is more durable when compared with tension type fencing.

Most of the fences for the garden of the chain-link are made of rolled mesh, which is sold in a number of hardware stores. This roll has a length of from 10 to 20 meters, while having a different width, wire thickness and cell size.

If we talk about the width, then the most suitable option for a garden fence will be 1.5 m. It is very convenient for installation, because the grid holds the shape and it is very easy to attach to the supports.

Tip! If you want to build a higher fence, the upper edge of the network can be raised to the height you need. In this case, the lower part of the fence can be laid using any material at hand. To do this, you can use stone, brick or trim boards, which will give the design an original appearance.

Having decided on the material, we proceed to the calculation of the required number of pillars. Their number is easy to determine, given the measured length of the fence and the distance between the supports themselves. If you believe the practice, the ideal distance between the pillars is 2.5 m.

Instructions for calculating the length of the intermediate column is based on several factors and is very simple. For such calculations, you do not need a calculator or a complex system of calculations:

1. If you allow a small gap between the fence and the ground, then the width of the grid should be added 5-10 cm.
2. To the resulting number, add another meter and a half length, which will be dug into the ground.
3. The result is the required length of the intermediate column.

Tip! Remember, the corner pole should be 20 cm longer than the intermediate one, since it has a large load, and it should dig deeper into the ground.

Mounting options

Fences from the chain-link for giving can fasten to support in various ways. Consider some of them:

• Making fences from a chain-link mesh in the simplest way involves securing the wire on poles without any additional fasteners. It should be noted that the steel mesh will not sag with this mounting option, but such a barrier will not look very aesthetic.

In addition, by lifting the bottom edge, someone outside could easily climb under such a fence.

• A more pleasant appearance will have a grid with a polymer coating, which is mounted on a wire stretched between the pillars. The diameter of the wire should be 5-6 mm.
• Beautiful appearance has such a fence, which is mounted on a wooden stitching, passing below and at the top of the structure. For this, boards with a thickness of 30-40 mm are used, which are attached to the posts with screws.
• Reliable, but rather costly and time-consuming construction is obtained by using ready-made sections, which are welded to the posts using a steel corner (as in the photo below). The standard section size is 1.5 x 2.5 meters.

Fence installation

How to make a fence from the netting chain-link?

Installation of a fence from a chain-link grid begins with the installation of supports, and this procedure is understandable, perhaps, to everyone.

1. Dig holes about a meter deep.
2. Install in the pit post. It is advisable to do it together, because while one person holds the support in a vertical position - the other falls asleep free space.
3. It is possible to fill a pit with the established support, using sand, fragments of bricks or construction debris, but it will be best to concrete it.
4. Next, you should prepare the canvas. As a rule, the standard 20-meter roll of mesh is not enough to cover the entire perimeter of the site. Therefore, individual pieces should be docked.

• You should unscrew the outermost wire.
• Next, combine the ends of two pieces of linen and carefully screw the wire between them.
• Cloth ready. Do this procedure with all the pieces of the grid.

1. Now that the canvas is connected, you should think about how to secure the netting of the chain-link on the fence. This procedure will be greatly facilitated if you use wooden “prozhiltsy” on the supports, since you will be able to nail the mesh to the supports. In order to achieve a good tension of the mesh, you can use a special tensioning device. However, you can pull it manually, using a strong pole as a lever.

Tip! Galvanized mesh can not be painted. Black wire must be painted to protect it from rust. To do this, use only a brush, because the roller will not be able to color the weave.

Several answers to frequently asked questions

1. Is it possible to repair the fence from the grid chain-link with your own hands? Yes, and ease of repair is one of the most prominent advantages of this type of fencing. In this case, you change either the entire section or the damaged segment.
2. Is it possible to use fences for giving from the grid a chain-link as a temporary fence? Of course, because these fences are very easy to make and dismantle.

Conclusion

As you can see, the fences from the grid of the chain-link are very easy to install, while you can easily give this design an original look. Such fences are reliable and have a number of unique advantages over their counterparts, because they are often used in gardening.
