Forms for fences - following the current trends in

This ancient admonition: “Repair cannot be finished, it can be simply stopped,” - all modern development of the construction industry completely refutes. And the tendency is to simplify the entire construction process as much as possible, to make it prefabricated from individual elements, and simply to replace labor-intensive processes.

Now, few people work on the ceiling and walls, there are drywall and suspended ceilings.

The fence - a kind of prefabricated construction. It looks great if all its elements strictly match each other.

When unification is the way to perfection

Maybe someday we will begin to collect the forms for the fences with our own hands as card houses. So far this is far, but the trend is evident.

ABS plastic fences, thanks to the ease and speed of their installation are increasingly used

To begin with, we simply define what a form for the fence is, of which elements the fence consists of:

• First, of course, the well-known pillars. There are many types of pillars and the choice depends on the purpose of the fence and its material. If the fence mesh is decorative in nature or is constructed from long panels, then often the pillars simply turn into elegant thin posts.
• Secondly, the span between the pillars, which can be divided into 3 parts by horizontal levels:
  1. the lower level immediately adjacent to the ground and often representing a regular concrete parapet (usually no more than 30% of the height of the fence);
  2. the average level creating the entire structure called the fence (usually at least 40% of the height);
  3. the upper level, often carrying a decorative load (always less than 30% of the height).

• Thirdly, decorative and protective elements for the upper surfaces of the pillar and the span of the fence.
• Well, and, fourthly, an auxiliary fixing material, the volume of which depends on the chosen form of the fence and the method of its installation.

Polyurethane forms for the fence in a reliable metal frame can be used for internal fences, where their reliability will not cause any doubts

As the source material for the production of the finished form of the fence, including the form of pillars for the fence can be:

• Cement. This material for intake structures has been used at all times, it has not lost its relevance even now. Moreover, he is perhaps the leader among all the forms available. A distinctive feature of cement forms is their reliability, although the increased labor intensity during installation often leads to the search for alternative options.

• Tree. It is also an old and very respected material with excellent design qualities. But the use of wood as a fence is always a step to the forefront of such a factor as “price”. In addition, wooden structures require preliminary very careful processing, because they will be at the forefront of the fight against bad weather and living creatures (insects here are not the most important evil).

Plastic fences are so good that they offer a huge variety of design solutions.

• Plastic. And do not think that once plastic means the structure is unreliable. On the contrary, it is the use of plastic that will allow you to really feel how construction technologies have gone forward. Unless, of course, we need some more proof after plastic pipes and double-glazed windows.

• Metal. Metalические готовые конструкции заборов по-прежнему в цене. Но тут надо понимать, что помимо обычных земляных работ, без которых не обходятся любые формы для заборных столбов, не обойтись и без сварки. Это всё приводит к значительному удорожанию всего забора, относительно конкурирующих материалов.

Helpful advice! When it comes to choosing the shape of the fence, pay special attention to the installation of the pillars. An excellent option is to install without excavation and concrete work - from 1 to 4 holes are drilled with a drill, depending on the type of form, into which metal “self-expanding” horizontal pipes are simply inserted. The pillars are then inserted into these pipes. All work on the installation of one pillar can be done in literally half an hour. These works you can see and check their complete one hundred percent reliability by following the competitions in alpine skiing - there any rarely shot down flag is restored in rock just in a few minutes, thanks to a portable powerful drill and a special design of the base of the flag. Although it must be admitted, the use of a drill is advisable only on a sufficient solid, stone rock.

More about plastic

On one of the materials used in the manufacture of forms of fences, it is worthwhile to stay especially - this is plastic.

Benefits

When we talk about plastic, we mean the following of its invaluable advantages:

• Great strength - This is due to modern production technologies, although initially, it was precisely the problems with durability that did not allow the plastic to enter a broad “construction” road.
• Cheaper. Where there is plastic, there is casting, which means ready-made and mass technologies. This is especially important for the production of fences, when forms for fence pillars and the spans between them already constitute a single whole, which directly comes out of the press at work.

Forms of fences seem to be specially made for use at industrial sites, where the speed of construction comes to the fore, although the designer side of the case is not forgotten

• Easewhich does not contradict reliability at all. But the installation speed increases by an order of magnitude.
• Extreme resistance to negative environmental influences. This feature of modern plastic is tested in pipes and does not need any evidence.
• Huge selection of design solutions. This is also the merit of the production process of plastic structures - casting, which is accompanied by the addition of various additives and dyes, creating an incredible color gamut at the exit.

Plastic flaws

Strictly speaking, there are no flaws in plastic intake structures.

Rather, their advantages are a continuation of the shortcomings (although, rather, on the contrary).

• Ease. But, firstly, plastic is often framed in a rigid metal body, and, secondly, the concept of lightness is very relative for a panel measuring 3 by 2 meters with a thickness of up to 15 cm.

Forms for the production of fences can include all the elements in a single design - then it remains to solve only 2 problems: size and installation

• Lack of reliability. Again, considering the pillar structures, any material requires a very reliable installation of fence posts, and the reliability of the entire structure depends on them in the first place. But, besides, whatever the fence, it will not stand braking buses on it.

When installing fences in the photo, you can not do without such a guide as installation instructions, all the elements here should be very closely matched to each other.

Helpful advice! Installation of any fence requires careful treatment of the drainage of the pillars. Keep in mind that the pit under the pole should be performed at 30-40 cm below the level of soil freezing. If your soil is prone to collecting moisture, the so-called heaving, then the best option would be to remove it completely and install the pillar in a mixture of sand and small gravel pre-filled. Do not forget such a prepared by hand soil thoroughly tamped. Drainage must be carried out at the ground level, at a distance of 20-30 cm from the column and to a depth of at least 15 cm.

Conclusion

Even the construction of the fence you can spend from pre-prepared forms. You only need to carefully get acquainted with all the options available to you, to evaluate all the disadvantages and advantages of each. Be sure to match all proposals with the nature of the soil under your future fence. Most likely, you will entrust the installation of the fence to already experienced masters, but be aware of all the decisions made, then you will not have to regret the choice made.

Not necessarily the shape of the fence post must exactly match the shape of its span, the main thing is simply to maintain a uniform style.
