Forms for eurofences - what they are

Imitation is the main “weapon”.

“I want to see this man” was exactly what one of the heroes of the poem Esenin used to say. We would also like very much to look at the one who first introduced the name of the eurofence. But it stuck, and when it comes to talking about this product, there is no double interpretation. You can also add the fact that these structures are quite in demand on the domestic market, although the boom on them has already passed, but they hold their niche. Therefore, we devote this material to eurofences and everything connected with them, production methods, forms. Running a few steps ahead, I would like to note that modern fiberglass molds for eurofences will allow not only to obtain high-quality products, but also to establish a fairly profitable business. But first things first.

Here they are, fences in Europe

Casting molds determine the content.

For some reason everyone knows that the eurofence consists of two elements: pillars of supports and plates of different texture with or without decorative elements. The plates themselves are made in special forms and represent a reinforced concrete slab, that is, a kind of reinforced concrete structure.

The manufacturing method used is called Vibrating casting and, for all its severity in its name, is fairly simple and relatively safe.

For the production required:

• Sand cleared;
• fine grained crushed stone;
• cement M-500;
• metal wire (steel) with a diameter of not less than 4 mm, finished welded gratings are also allowed.

The technological process is as follows:

• Concrete mix is ​​poured into the prepared form to the brim;
• Then a metal wire frame is embedded in the existing filled form;
• The form with the contents is installed on the vibrating table, at the moment of operation the entire wire structure is recessed in the mixture for the workpiece completely. At the same stage, the level of the concrete mix is ​​monitored.

It is important to know! At this stage, the slab thickness is formed and if it is wider, the slab itself simply will not enter the groove of the support column.

The excess must be removed.

• Next, the workpiece is laid out on special boards, on which it will dry for 2 days. This process can be accelerated, for this it is necessary to subject the stove to steaming for 8 hours.

As a result, we have two-meter sections of 50 cm in height. The fence itself can consist of two to four sections, and its height will reach 2 meters.

Technical magic and magic forms

There would be a form, and with what to fill we will find.

In many ways, the quality of the product, its shape, appearance depends on the quality of the forms used for vibratory casting.

In the modern market, three types of forms are most popular:

• Forms of eurofences made of fiberglass. This is a synthetic material, based on the production of which essential resins are used. Forms from it have sufficient hardness, due to the resistance to vibration and ultraviolet they can be used for a long time, for those who want to do their own production and installation it can be noted that these forms quickly pay for themselves;
• Forms for eurofence from ABS. The material is very similar to the previous analogue, also copes with vibration. It is resistant to shocks, which also prolongs its service life;
• Forms for eurofences and PVC plates. And again this omnipresent plastic. To the already voiced advantages of the material, you can add high fire safety. The material is certainly suitable for all objects, even for those with special requirements.

ABS and PVC products appeared on the market relatively recently. In addition to the quick payback and sufficient durability, the general advantages are the lack of the need to constantly treat the inner surface of the mold with a special compound that prevents sticking. And this in turn saves money and removes the need to purchase a number of additional devices.

Why precisely eurofence

Because a lot, a whole lot.

As with any marketed product, euroblocks and the entire structure as a whole have a number of advantages that buyers will appreciate when choosing such a fence.

These include:

1. A huge number of design options and their combinations. And the use of different colors only emphasizes the claimed diversity;
2. The optimum height of the resulting structures. In general, there is a feeling that the idea of ​​sectional fences was introduced and brought to practical implementation by a person who, if not himself, developed building codes, then at least was well acquainted with them. Judge for yourself, the recommended fence height between two adjacent areas is 1.5 meters - these are three sections of the eurofence. The height of the front line fence is permissible at 2 meters - these are four sections of the eurofence;

And even such options are possible.

1. The assembly principle is modular. This item will be considered separately, as there is a whole technology of installation of such structures, which requires separate lighting;
2. It is possible to install in any type of soil and in a short time. Indeed, given that the fence is inserted into the grooves of the pillars, the installation time will depend more on the number of exhibitors in the team than on any other factors. But this is also in a separate section;
3. Reinforced concrete structures are classified as fireproof. And indeed, what is there to burn is not a tree, and not a plastic slate, which can also be used to build fences;
4. Another important factor in favor of such a product is the absolute unpretentiousness of such a fence. The plates themselves are quite resistant to atmospheric phenomena. Having saturated them with special primers of deep penetration, you will not only increase their service life, but also be able to economically paint them in any colors and combinations thereof. Moreover, this can be done both immediately after the primer dries and after a while;
5. This product will serve you for more than a dozen years, which already pleases and sets up in a positive way (read also the article “Slate Fence - the most economical option”).

Types of fencing

Successful imitation of a stone wall with a decorative lattice.

With all the variety of forms, types of panels are only three. These include:

• Deaf reinforced concrete structures. The most popular with small business owners, storage, all other objects that can be combined with the phrase industrial zone. A feature of the application is that in addition to the 2 meters height declared by the manufacturers, by raising the foundation half a meter, the height of the fence can be 2.5 meters. In private homes such fences are found, but less often, with the height of the fence may be 1.5 meters, not two;
• Designs with decorative elements. A few years ago, the favorite element of the decor was a figured lattice, made in the form of columns, now the design options are a car and a small trolley. It must be said that this diversity arose due to the appearance of various vibro-filling forms using synthetic materials. Now the range of application of such products is very wide. These are private houses, and children's institutions, parks, squares. Such fences look very nice on a strip foundation with blind bottom plates imitating a stone or brick. But it may well be exhibited independently;
• Decorative plates in designs. These are plates of irregular shape, which, when combined, give a picture of a monolithic structure and look due to this quite effectively. Applying such a simple technique as dyeing under the natural colors of the simulated materials can only enhance the visual effect. Very popular and popular products now.

We put the fence ourselves

Schematically, but clearly.

It is not difficult to set up an eurofence with your own hands. Thus, you can save some of the funds, and the price of the fence will not seem so big to you.

The following instructions will tell you about the principles of the assembly of these modules:

• So the first thing is markup. The markup in this case is no different from the markup in all ordinary installation cases. Two pegs, one rope. This whole system is set from corner to corner, and the rope is fixed in tight;
• At the corner of a pit digging the size of the section 30x30 cm, depth 65 cm. A pillar is inserted into the pit and wedged with bricks and stones until a strictly vertical position is reached;
• Insert a 2-meter-long bar into the groove of the pillar, adding 5 cm to the resulting place, we get a point that is the center of the next hole;

Interesting to know! Teams that do this professionally have, as a rule, two measurements: a level of 2 meters and a measuring bar of 2.05 m

• Having dug out the second well, we insert into it the second pillar. At the same time, before fixing the second pillar, bricks are stacked between these supports (as a pillow) and a slab is installed on them. Next comes the laying of the entire wall, while the movable pole is a part that aligns the plates in the horizontal plane;
• After a set of sections and alignment of the whole structure is fixed and strut the second column. This technology is maintained until the end of the series;
• Concreting of supports occurs at the end of the cycle.

Finally

Concrete, but not necessarily gray.
