Fence sections - types of picket fence

The fence has always at all times been not only an element of home protection, but also part of its design. Today, the second criterion came out on top, which is why many owners of private houses have long doubted when choosing a fence from a fairly wide model range. Many may object, they say, the fence, he is the fence. Do not tell, varieties of intake sections abound.

In general, sectional fences are part of our home. Whether you like it or not, you have to put up with this fact, so everyone chooses for himself what he thinks is beautiful. So, there is a need to deal with some types of sections for fences. So, let's begin…

Low sectional fence

Types of intake sections

Everyone knows that any protective structures are mainly divided into groups, based on the material from which they are made. In this article, we will talk about wooden fences, where the wooden sections of the fence are used.

Section for fences

Attention! Wood is a material that is quickly exposed to the negative effects of precipitation, sun and wind. Therefore, it is necessary before processing the protective elements to process them with protective antiseptic solutions. In addition, choosing ready-made sections for the fence of wood, pay attention that they were from quality material that will last you a long time.

Shelf

This is the most common type of fencing design. In principle, the fence-fence practically does not bear protective functions, it is usually used as an element denoting the boundaries of the territory, plus decorative filling of the site. If we talk about the dimensional indicators of this design, then its height and width of the sections is determined by the owner of the house.

But there are, nevertheless, some recommendations:

• The width of the board used in this construction should vary in the range of 120-150 millimeters. This, of course, is not the law, it is just a recommendation.
• The distance between adjacent boards is best taken in the amount of one third the width of the boards used.
• The optimal cross-section dimensions of the support pillars are 50x100 and 40x100 millimeters.

There are three subspecies in this category:

1. Shelf срезанный. Everything, the same, with one deviation - the upper edges of the boards used are cut to one side at an angle of 45 degrees. The view becomes unusual, plus the cut edge does not leave rain to enter the interior of the wood. The water just rolls over the slice.
2. Semicircular. In this case, the upper part of the panels is cut in a semicircle.
3. Half round deaf. The same as in the three previous cases with one single structural difference - the panels are stacked in a checkerboard pattern from both sides of the lag. That is, when the boards are filled from the front of the fence, they are also stuffed from the back side, but not the places of the slots. Thus, it turns out deaf fence with good ventilation.

Long

Štaketnik - «Duga»

This sectional fence has a very beautiful design.

• First, all the shtaketins are cut in a semicircle.
• Secondly, they are cut along the length so that when they are installed on the lags, the overall shape of the section in the form of a wave is formed. Look at the photo above.

Zigzag shape

There is nothing complicated in this construction, but it looks very unusual. However, for this you have to accurately calculate everything to create a broken line of the upper contour. Here you will first have to choose a zigzag pattern, which depends on the number of panels with a smaller size and a larger one. The more often different elements alternate in length, the broken line will be your fence.

Ranch

It should be immediately noted that the intake section of this type has a large distinctive feature. Her boards are not arranged vertically, but horizontally. Such a fence "came" from the West, or rather, from America, where farmers, thus, fenced corrals for livestock. Today it is one of the most popular types of enclosures for private houses made of wood.

Fence - "Ranch"

It is difficult to say whether such a fence will stop from the intruders' sections (it will not be difficult to jump over it), but this wooden fence looks very presentable as a decorative element.

By the way, here there is one subspecies, which is very similar to a deaf picket fence. That is, the horizontal panels in this case are stuffed on both sides of the supporting pillars for the fence. There is nothing visible behind such a fence, but this construction is ventilated.

Jalousie

This species is somewhat similar to the "Ranch". In it, the panels are also located horizontally, but with one deviation - their installation is made at a small angle, forming the form of "herringbone". Variations of installation of the panels may be different, but the main type is the deaf section of the fence. There is no clearance between the boards, but invisible gaps are present, thereby creating good ventilation.
