Fences pergony - innovation through time

In the modern construction market there are countless different materials for the construction of fences. And recently fences from a pergon stone began to gain solid popularity.

On the features of this type of fence, we will try to understand this article.

Even plain cobblestones can be used as source material.

What is it

Those people who first hear about this product will be useful to know all its features. Moreover, he has plenty of them.

History reference

This product, it would seem, recently appeared on the construction market. However, few people know that they used it in ancient times, when military fortifications were made of it.

Of course, modern analogues of this material are a truly innovative product that is able to carry out a real revolution in its segment. In European countries, fences for giving pergons appeared quite a long time ago, but in Russia just a few years ago.

Such fences owe their second birth to two very dissimilar products - pergolas and gabions. The first ones are a narrow, attractive and very mobile construction, with the help of which it is convenient to create decorative fences. As for gabions, they are too massive, and therefore they are rarely used for decoration of suburban areas (see also the article Fence from gabions with your own hands).

Pergon perfectly fit into any facade

Specifications

Lyrical digression is completed, therefore, you can go to specific numbers. This product is a kind of basket 25 cm wide, consisting of 6-8 mm thick rods made of galvanized steel. Moreover, their height can be from 60 to 240 cm.

Tip: carrier racks should be installed in 2.5 meter increments.

Unfortunately, today this material does not have a variety of forms in its arsenal. Therefore, most manufacturers have an identical range, the price of which is practically the same.

In our country, the construction of pergon stone fences will certainly be carried out in compliance with all European quality standards (Read also the article Stone fence: its types and installation procedure). The average life of this material is 50 years.

Application

Establish such fences on in advance prepared basis. Even an old foundation that has remained after the dismantling of any structures can fulfill its role. However, it is possible to do without the foundation, and install the fence directly into the ground, but in this case it will be necessary to concrete the rack.

Showing a little imagination, you can create a stunning design (for example, as in this photo)

For sites located on the slopes, pergons play the role of retaining fortifications and soil stabilizer. However, you can even make a major fence out of it with your own hands. To do this, you will need to purchase a particularly large bearing rack.

Filling

You can fill this structure with almost anything:

• Broken bricks;
• Small branches;
• Spile trees;
• Pebbles;
• Stones.

The above materials are the most typical. Recently, designers have begun to surprise us with more outlandish solutions. So it became actively used glass.

To perform this task, the masters use not simple fragments, but a special filler, which consists of large pieces. Color fillers are especially attractive.

Tip: to create a truly unique design, you can combine several shades, creating an intricate composition.

It should be noted and the main advantage of such a material - visual lightness. The fact is that glass is capable of transmitting light, thereby creating an airy effect. This creates an amazing atmosphere on the site.

Even very large stones can be used.

Key Features

Having discussed the characteristics of this or that material, it is necessary to understand its qualities, both positive and negative.

Virtues

• Easy operation. As stated in the instructions, pergons can stand without replacement for several decades (depending on the size and weight of the filler). This saves their owners from having to constantly change or at least update their fence.
• Huge variability. As mentioned earlier, virtually any bulk material can act as a filler. This gives the consumer freedom of choice.
• Flexibility. The form of such structures can be modified countless times. If you want to bring something new into the interior, you can easily do it.
• The possibility of dismantling. Decorative pergons can be easily disassembled and transported to another place (for example, in the case of moving). Not many similar materials can boast of such dignity.

To disassemble such a fence is not more difficult than to assemble

• Persistence No external stimuli (moisture, temperature fluctuations, etc.) are terrible for this material. That is why it has such a long operational period.

disadvantages

• High price. Of course, at first all very innovative materials are subject to a very tough pricing policy. In this regard, pergon is currently characterized by high cost.
• Insecurity. Small pieces, for example, glass can fall out of the "baskets". This creates a danger, especially if there are young children in the house who are curious about everything.
