Fence plates - from temporary need to permanent need

Fence

Among the entire range of products manufactured by factories of reinforced concrete products, there are WB fence plates.

This is not to say that this product is very widely used. Usually the installation of such fences, which require both time and special technical means, is carried out in connection with the urgent need. But, having appeared by necessity, they show themselves so positively, ensuring both safety and comfort of the fenced territory, which remain forever. They are like that habit, "that which comes as a guest, and remains, as a master."

Reliability - the most important characteristic of reinforced concrete slabs for fencing, but not the only one. Do not forget about the design side of the issue, even with such simple designs. The main thing - the exact installation and the desire to do business well

Reinforced concrete slabs for fences as a prominent component of the entire range of reinforced concrete products

Often temporarily installed RC fences remain in their place much longer than the originally intended time - reliability is the main factor here.

Some, very reputable, experts in the “building sciences” seriously consider the most important achievement of the XX century in construction - the invention of reinforced concrete. And this is worth believing, especially if we take into account the so popular monolithic reinforced concrete construction.

With all the incidents and difficulties of the existence of large production plants, concrete products factories have never felt a lack of customer attention. Among the entire range of their products stand out are plates for fences.

It is possible that this product is one of the favorite products of the manufacturers themselves - this is where you can show creative ingenuity, given that these plates for the fence do not differ in the special variety of appearance.

If the overwhelming majority of ZHB-products have generally accepted standard sizes, defined by state standards, then in the production of plates, each manufacturer has the right to show and manifest his design inclinations.

Although there are still more plates in two sizes:

PB40.20:
- length: 4000 mm (4 meters);
- height: 2000 mm (2 m);
- thickness: 160 mm (16 cm);
- weight: 1.7 tons (1700 kg).
- length: 3000 mm (3 meters);
- height: 2000 mm (2 m);
- thickness: 120 mm (12 cm);
- Weight: 1.3 tons (1300 kg).

PB30.20: Here, however, we must bear in mind two factors:

Rigid uniform standards of the geometrical sizes, by and large, do not exist. The market does not particularly respect the dimensions of the intake plates, each manufacturer is free to produce products in its size. Here we have to rely for the most part on the prudence and foresight of the producers. If in your region the P6V intake plate is the most popular, then this is only due to the specialization of the concrete goods plant.
The second factor is associated with the labeling of products, their huge assortment and fragmentation of the markets of the former united countries of the Soviet Union.. The above PB marking applies to Ukraine. For example, in Russia, PB40.20 plates are better known under the marking P5.

Fence plates - not only a “3 by 2” rectangle - the number of various options for shapes is huge and often depends on the manufacturer’s imagination

Helpful advice! If you have decided to install a new capital fence around your territory and consider that a P6B fence slab can help you with this, first of all contact the reinforced concrete plant. Only there you can finally tell the entire range of manufactured fences and their sizes. It is not necessary to build any plans without thoroughly examining the market for offers from manufacturers. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the work already done - the performer of your work must have sufficient experience and at least a powerful crane for working with weights up to 3 tons. The weight of the intake plate can vary from 500 kg to 2000, depending on the size.

Equipment

On the configuration, too, should be borne in mind, even though such a simple, seemingly constructive material:

Firstly, the fence plate itself is 3-3, although the dimensions here will not be principal - 4-2, 2-2, or 2.5-2.5. Of the latest options, you can often find suggestions from Russian manufacturers:

P3-3:
- length: 2500 mm (2.5 meters);
- height: 2500 mm (2.5 m);
- thickness: 120 mm (12 cm);
- weight: 1398 kg.
P3-4:
- length: 2100 mm (2.1 meters);
- height: 2000 mm (2 m);
- thickness: 80 mm (8 cm);
- weight: 477 kg.

Secondly, the installation columns, if you choose the prefab option of the fence;
Third, the so-called glasses under the foundation of the slab fence. Today the installation of such options is one of the most popular. The most famous in terms of their size are two types of glasses, which ensure the stability of the entire structure of the fence:

F9.7.5:
- length: 900 mm (90 cm);
- width: 700 mm (70 cm);
- height: 450 mm (45 cm);
- weight: 480 kg.
Ф12.7.5:
- length: 1200 mm (120 cm);
- width: 700 mm (70 cm);
- height: 450 mm (45 cm);
- weight: 580 kg.

Such simple RC products are very convenient for storage and transportation.

Fourth, nakryvochnaya plate for the fence. This product is rarely used and is considered a decorative finishing material for finishing the top line of the plate. Among the most common sizes of apron covers:
- 30 x 50 mm;
- 45 x 45 mm;
- 55 x 55 mm;
- 38 x 50 mm;
- 45 x 50 mm;
- 55 x 50 mm.

Fifth, cover for the fence posts. Also applies to decorative materials. The sizes of such covers largely depend on the manufactured range of columns, but the most common sizes will be the following:
- 446 x 446 x 120 mm;
- 495 x 180 x 45 mm;
- 390 x 270 x 55 mm;
- 390 x 350 x 68 mm.

Plates for the fence of any reliable construction can not do without special glasses - the main thing is only to coordinate the size of the glass with the size of the product

Helpful advice ! Delving into the nature of the production of plates for fencing areas, be sure to find out the brand and class of concrete from which the product was made. The most common for these purposes is considered to be M 200, and class is B 15. You should not use stronger concrete, this will lead to an unjustified rise in the cost of the whole product without a corresponding increase in its reliability. Do not allow the use of a lighter one, after all, you are installing a RC fence, and not a "rabbit enclosure".

It has long been familiar to all channel-type products - without the use of glasses. But large scale earthworks are required.

Three helpful notes for practical

There are three more nuances that are very useful to keep in mind:

For quite a long time in the course were simpler designs of reinforced concrete fences, the so-called channel type. For such fences it was necessary to carry out earthworks to create a ditch in the foundation (ground) for the installation of the fence. Now, even in this area, the “service” has gone a bit ahead and the fences “on glasses” predominate, but the former ones still have a demand because of their sometimes bargain prices. The price for them can be smaller by an order of magnitude - if for a new slab for a glass, approximately, 5,000 rubles, then for a “channel” - not more than 1000.
Often used for temporary installation products are quite suitable.

If you want to save even more, you can try to put the already used intake plate. They can still serve, especially for temporary purposes, and they will get you for a completely symbolic fee - “for pickup”.

Well, a very attractive option are prefabricated structures of fences from products of smaller size in height. They are installed in the grooves of the installation posts for the fence, they provide more opportunities in terms of design. At each level you are free to choose plates of a different color and texture - the so-called, decorative sets.

But time goes on, and new offers start to appear on the building materials market. Zhb the fence from such products is already capable to meet the most exacting requirements

Competition is growing

Of course, before making a decision about installing a fencing of slabs, you will carefully study all the offers, the installation instructions will most likely not interest you - with your own hands such cumbersome, even prefabricated, structures are not created.

However, it does not interfere with getting acquainted with all the photos at your disposal, be sure to check out the video in this article.

Stacked decorative sections help reduce the “working” weight of a single product and increase the mobility of the entire assembly process.

But keep in mind that the market is growing pretty fast. And it is not uncommon to meet quite exotic proposals - fences from Poland, Argentina, Brazil. Evaluate all the options that interest you and make an informed decision. And keep in mind that the main costs will have to be attributed not to the purchase of the fencing structures themselves, but to their installation, in which the lion's share will be occupied by the rental of special equipment.
