Fencing systems: functions and variations

Fences, fences, nets, hedges are all elements of infrastructure that are familiar to us. They provide security and protected objects, and ordinary citizens. Cascade fencing systems are an example of modern robust structures that successfully compete with traditional types of fences.

Access restriction systems are used everywhere, because it is a guarantee of security.

Types of barrier systems

Brick

Beautiful, expensive, reliable and very popular brick fences.

Brick fencing systems continue to enjoy high popularity, especially in private construction. This is not surprising, because besides the beauty and comfort of the stone wall gives confidence in the security, it is durable and reliable, like a rock.

However, those who do not want to live by stereotypes, analyzed the facts, and came to the following conclusions:

• The function of the modern barrage - restriction of access and review. Nobody will undertake an assault with siege weapons and walling machines today, and a security system with video surveillance and intelligent control systems is much more effective than a passive pile of stone;
• The cost of materials alone for a brick fence is dozens of times higher than the cost of a modern Leps fence system or similarand these are reliable, durable and beautiful systems;
• The cost of building brick walls around an object simply cannot be compared with the cost of installing modern modular or panel structures.. It is like the IAMA fencing system to facilitate the movement of ducks in the pond of the zoo: impractical, expensive, too expensive, simply wild;
• Add to this the cost of transport, loading and unloading, excavation, concrete and design work, and you will understand that a stone fence is the first step to ruin;
• However, behind a stone wall, the soul is calmer. It is a fact. Especially if you have to hide from anyone, or have something to hide. However, each person determines where to invest, and if the style of your mansion involves a brick fence, it is foolish to refuse it.

Also often there are combined options: brick pillars and parts of the panels are combined with metal bars, forged or welded.

The combined fence from a brick and a metal lattice.

In addition, brick pillars can be combined with a profiled sheet, wood or mesh. The price of such structures is somewhat lower than monolithic stone analogs, but still very high.

Modular

The photo is quite respectable cottage, fenced with a modern modular design.

Modular ограждения представляют собой конструкции из столбов, лаг и профильного листа. Соединения и крепления системы продуманы так, что сборка занимает минимум времени и усилий.

In addition, the system is fairly light, and the transportation of all parts requires one truck trip. At the same time, we can note the remarkable appearance of the fence, its durability and reliability, durability and comparative cheapness.

Modular fencing can be used to enclose such objects:

• Private estates, villas and cottages;
• Country hotels, inns, motels and restaurants;
• Industrial enterprises, warehouses, industrial and energy facilities, mining and ore-dressing enterprises;
• Public and private institutions, firms, companies and office centers;
• Markets, stadiums, sports complexes;
• Livestock enterprises;
• Factories and factories.

Obviously, modular designs are quite versatile and can be used almost everywhere.

Tip! If you have not chosen the type of fence for your site - pay attention to the modular system. They are relatively inexpensive, serve more than 50 years, do not require maintenance and touch-ups, are easy to assemble with your own hands and look great.

Panel

Panel fencing can be found at sites whose security involves monitoring the entire area and requires a good overview.

Panel заборы — это столбы из профильной или круглой трубы и сварная металлическая сетка. Крепление производится клипсами или другими зажимами, замками или крюками и не требует сварки.

These barrier systems are great for objects that require review in both directions:

• Airports;
• Railway tracks;
• Stadiums, tennis courts, sports complexes;
• City parks, squares, gardens;
• Internal areas of public places with limited access;
• Animal enclosures;
• Forbidden zones, exclusion zones, prisons and colonies;
• Courtyards of companies, institutions, universities, churches and other urban sites.

The installation instructions for panel structures are almost identical to the installation of modular systems:

1. Marking and installation of corner posts, stretching the rope along the upper border of the fence;
2. Drilling holes for the remaining columns at a distance of 2.5 meters from each other (the distance depends on the width of the panel);
3. Posting pillars vertically using a level;
4. Reinforcement and pillar concreting;
5. Installation of panels with fasteners and clips.

Important! All designs, fasteners and parts of such fences are made at the factory and do not cause complaints. The weak link is the concreting of the pillars, so be careful, reinforce and concrete in accordance with the standards and regulations, use quality materials.

It should also be said that the panel fences of welded mesh - the cheapest option of modern designs. Therefore, if you do not hesitate to review, choose this type of fence, you will not regret.

Conclusion

We see that the choice of access restriction systems is large enough. We also saw that expensive mansions can be fenced with inexpensive modern structures that not only do not spoil, but also decorate the general appearance of the site.
