Fences from buta: beauty and strength
On the photo is a classic version of a savage fence.
My home is my castle, everybody knows this catch phrase. But what about the fence that surrounds the house, because he then makes your home a fortress. Naturally, the stronger the construction that encloses your home, the calmer you feel. Today I want to talk about a fairly strong material from which to build a solid structure. We suggest you build a fence of rubble stone. In our article we will deal with all the subtleties of such construction.
The origin of the material
Where did such material come from in the construction industry? Oddly enough, but he was all his life and used it all the time. It was given to us by its nature; it is an ordinary natural stone that breaks away from the main rock.
Natural fragments, completely different sizes, having an irregular natural shape. Heavy enough, but very durable. For the processing of such material, you need special equipment, just so you can not take it.
Remember the medieval castles, their irregular shapes created by wild untreated rocks. These buildings still delight people with their greatness and beauty. Today, this material has found decent use in the modern construction industry.
Where can savage be used
In the photo - an example of the use of buta for finishing the fireplace
Due to the fact that it is a natural element, savage, otherwise it can be called a boot, a hundred percent environmentally friendly material. Plus, the price of this material is quite acceptable for its use in construction.
Here is the area of its use today:
- Landscape design, the direction where such material found quite interesting application. Very well and decoratively fits into the landscape of any plot.
- Construction of decorative pools, very interesting design decision.
- Arbor construction, arches in the style of the middle ages.
- Construction of decorative fences.
Very often the savage of a smaller structure is used for interior decoration of rooms, for example, for refining openings.
Construction of a fence of torn stone
If you choose this material to build a fence around your house, you will not regret it. Beauty and strength, that's what you get in the end.
Having built a fence from the bout with your own hands, you get a number of advantages, even before such material as concrete.
- Beautiful extraordinary and aesthetic look. The second such fence will not be anywhere else. Such are the properties of the wild stone.
- Durability - natural savage exceeds concrete in tens of times (this is not a slate fence).
- The durability of the building, the structure of stone are more than a thousand years, when the technical properties of concrete promise only 200 years, after which the concrete itself begins to collapse.
- Savings in finishing - thanks to this material you immediately get a finished building. You do not need additional decoration. It’s impossible to call the cheapest fencing fence, but it’s prohibitively expensive too.
Information! It should be noted that today in the technology of construction of buildings from the buta, concrete is still used. It serves as a link in the building, and helps save material, in our case a wild stone.
We start building from the foundation
Like any construction, the construction of such a fence should begin with the pouring of the foundation. Before starting the installation of the foundation device, you should already have an accurate idea of what savage you will have, booth. From here you will make the calculation of the width of the foundation for the entire building.
Sample plan for future fence design
When installing the fence posts, be sure to install a support from a metal pipe. Since this design will hold more than one span, it is imperative to carry out a bucket of the fence post. For these purposes, fragments of bricks, or concrete structures. After all, you should pour a high-quality concrete solution.
After the concrete foundation has settled down, and it takes twenty-eight days for this, according to the technology, you can start laying the stone.
Laying walls of the fence
Today for the construction there are two types of such a savage, it is a boot of the correct form and a stone of irregular shape. Since the correct form of such a stone is achieved by the method of additional processing, the price of this material is slightly more expensive than the natural irregular fragments.
In any case, from both species of the savage, original constructions are obtained.
Boot the correct form, and its layout
We will begin our construction with a buta of the correct form. This requires the usual cement-sand mortar and the stone itself. The laying technique represents something similar to the brickwork in the run. A fence made of rubble is usually made in such a way, pieces of a savage of the correct form are laid in rows and tied together.
With irregular shape a little different. You will have to pick up the pieces and put them together, putting them on the solution, do not forget to fill the voids between the stones. There is no unambiguous rule in such laying, if possible a stone is tied up with each other.
This laying is also called mosaic, practically you lay out a drawing that comes to you in the process. Our instructions do not contain clear rules for laying such a mosaic. The most important rule, we should minimize as much as possible the voids that appear in the process of collecting such a mosaic.
Also in such buildings applied mixed masonry. By this is meant laying stone paired with facing bricks. Usually, columns and a socle are built of facing bricks and, after that, walls are made of wild stone. The result is a tab of natural savage, underlined facing brick.
Final Stage
Now that you have finished laying, from the side you can see this extraordinary structure. We can safely say that you managed to build an intake structure out of your own hands. But it remains to add the final touch.
Exterior paving visually aligns the wall
For beauty, this clutch needs to be embroidered. Here, as well as in work with a brick, there is an internal jointing and external. We recommend that you do all the same deep jointing. This decor gives the masonry bulkiness, although the outer skin makes the masonry more smooth and even.
For our part, we can only offer you options, and you, as the owner, make a decision. Also here is a video where you can see what a savage fence can be.
