Fences of corrugated with a pattern - an economic solution

Recently, more and more you can see the fence of corrugated board. And this is not accidental - here there is an excellent ratio “price - quality”.

However, the appearance of such fences until recently was rather boring. But technologies do not stand still, and manufacturers have learned to put on the professional sheet drawing.

Types of sheeting

According to the new technologies, various images are applied to the galvanized steel sheet in an offset way:

• Wooden plank;
• Brickwork;
• Tile;
• A natural stone;
• Tile;
• And others.

Initially, a photograph of a natural surface (brick, wood, tiled, etc.) is taken. Then this image is transferred to the film and get a photo already on a metal surface.

According to European preferences, in the first place, in its popularity, there is a professional sheet with imitation of wooden boards. This is due to the fact that in Europe the cost of natural wood fences is quite high, and they use metal profiles. In addition, it is possible to find differences between a hedge made of natural wood and an imitation of a professional sheet only at close distances.

In the second place goes imitation stonework. As a rule, to withstand a single style, the fence posts are made from natural stone.

We will not consider all types of drawings on the metal section - we will focus on those that are most often used in the construction of fences.

Decking under the tree

The main difference of such a fence is its reliability, strength and easy installation.

For example:

1. wooden boards need constant care (annual varnishing, painting);
2. due to temperature fluctuations, deformation may occur;
3. it is necessary to change the rotten elements;
4. long installation.

Fencing of corrugated wood

While products from a metal profile are deprived of all these difficulties, and the instruction for their installation is quite simple. In addition, you can always choose the desired pattern - maple, pine, oak and others, and the cost will not affect it.

We invite you to watch a video where you yourself will see the appearance of such a professional sheet.

Pros:

1. Low cost. Despite the fact that the sheet is large enough (on each side 1-2 meters), but the price for it is 2 times less than the standard wooden fence.
2. Strength and durability of the structure. Such fences are quite resistant to environmental influences (snow, rain, direct sunlight) and to temperature extremes.
3. Low weight. This is achieved due to the fact that with its thickness of 1-3 ml. the sheets have a ribbed curved shape, whereby similar strength is achieved.
4. Unpretentious to care. This metal is not afraid of corrosion, so it can be used in different climatic conditions. This is due to the fact that it is subjected to a special treatment - primer, paint and polymer coating.

Decking under the stone

Metal profile with the image of a stone is also in great demand. Quite a large number of buyers like a hedge made of stone. They have a beautiful appearance, they are quite resistant and durable. However, not everyone can afford such a fence.

Important! For example, the price of a fence from a stone at 2 meters in height will be about 10 times more expensive than a similar fence from a profiled sheet. If your site is 6 acres, then for its fence of natural material you will need about $ 50,000, and even higher.

In addition, such a metal profile looks as advantageous as natural material, but the cost is quite acceptable for a family with an average budget. Yes, and the installation of such a fence will be much faster and easier, and you can hold it with your own hands.

Looking at the fence, which is made of a professional sheet with an image under a stone, you are simply amazed at the extent to which the entire relief of the heterogeneous masonry of the stone is clearly visible. Although at close range you notice that the wall is flat.

Brick flooring

This species is in third place in popularity. Despite the fact that brick fences have their admirers, the professional sheet with the image of a brick has one drawback.

Since the brickwork implies strict dimensions, the image on the metal profile is not natural and this is very noticeable. Given this, some manufacturers began to produce a professional sheet with relief brickwork.

Important! It should be noted that this profile does not have stiffeners, which means that the entire main load will fall on the metal or wooden frame of the fence.

Testing profiled sheet with a picture

In addition to all the above qualities, metal profiles with images of wood, stone and brick were tested for hardness and durability. He was tried on bends, scratched, tested for shocks. And all the tests he passed with dignity.

In addition to testing the effects of the environment, it was tested with salt water, caustic soda, and even 5% sulfuric acid. So this fence will serve you for more than 20 years.

I want to say one more thing. Quite often, such a phenomenon occurs as the movement of soils (this happens both independently and as an outcome of wetting soils). So, fence constructions made of corrugated board will transfer these moments much better than the same buildings, but from natural stone or brick.

Conclusion

Even plain surfaces look pretty aristocratic.

As you can see, fence barriers from a professional sheet with a pattern are no worse by their qualities, but even better than those of natural materials. In addition, it will significantly save your budget. You just have to choose the desired pattern and color, and you can install it yourself.
