Gates and fences, as well as other elements of the estate

Building your own home in the private sector is always associated with a lot of additional costs for the improvement of the estate. In addition, in the yard can be located outbuildings for farming or just to increase comfort in this area.

But the reality is that all this needs to be protected, for which it is necessary to build solid structures. First of all, of course, these are fences and gates, which enclose the whole territory, as well as, possibly, intra-residential separate plots intended for any purpose.

A good project for the design of the estate, as well as its implementation, cost a lot of money, but so that these funds are not wasted, you need to delve into the essence of the design yourself.

In any case, you should present yourself with some or other possible options. This is what the material below is intended for, as well as the video in this article.

Wooden fences

Wooden fence

• Most residents of the Russian Federation imagine a fence in the form of vertically standing wooden slats, but in fact there are some of its varieties. So shtaketina can be made of metal or plastic - the latter option implies solid cast sections that are attached to the supporting pillars (installation instructions for a particular design is attached by the manufacturer).

Wood fencing from unedged boards

• Board collars and fences are not limited to structures with vertically standing fences - they can be assembled from their vertical cut or unedged boards, as can be seen in the upper photo of the decorative fencing. The advantage of such assemblies is that for their installation between the fence columns do not need to install bolts (jumpers) for fastening fragments.

Wicker fence of boards

• It is also possible to make a wicker gate and a fence from an edged board, and for this you do not need any special structural elements. Just between the main posts are installed additional, through which the boards are intertwined. The principle of mounting such a structure is quite simple and it is clearly seen in the photo above.

Transparent fences

Transparent polycarbonate fence

• The fencing through which you can see the neighboring territory is called transparent and one of the materials that is used for arranging such structures is polycarbonate.. Such plastic is strong enough and hail will not break it, but, nevertheless, the sheets should be framed with a metal corner for stiffness.

Transparent metal railing

• Fences, gates and wickets can also be mounted from metal profiles or fittings, but they should not be confused with wrought-iron wire nets. Of course, forged grilles are also transparent, but they are usually classified as more expensive decorative items.

Gate on a fence from a grid the Chain-link

• Fences, as well as transparent fence gates can be made from the Mesh Chain-link, which, in turn, is an interlacing of flat wire spirals. The cell in such a grid is from 20 to 60 mm, with a wire section from 1 to 3 mm. The wire itself can be non-galvanized, galvanized, coated with polymers, and sometimes even stainless steel.

The scheme of installation of the fence of the chain-link grid

• The grid the Chain-link serves as a good way out when the size of gate for a fence makes them too heavy for the supports used in a design. After all, the bulk of the section falls on the metal corner, which frames the section, so it turns out to be quite light. But the net canvas can be stretched without a frame, fixing directly on the fence posts.

The tensioned wire in the upper cells gives extra rigidity

Council Installing the netting Reactor with direct fixation to the pillars leads to stretching and sagging of the web. To avoid this, a thick wire is passed through the entire width, especially through the upper cells, as if reinforcing the mesh.

Deaf fences

"Deaf" fence made profiled

• Now it is very fashionable, and, perhaps, it is very profitable and convenient when such “deaf” fencing, like a gate and a wicket for a fence, are made of a profiled galvanized sheet with a polymer or powder coating.. Decking can be mounted on virtually any support (wooden, metal, concrete, brick, stone), as well as on wooden or metal (profiled) logs.
• The average working width of a professional flooring is 0.96 m, and the height varies from 0.6 to 2.0 m, therefore, selecting the sheet for the required height of the fence, it does not need to be cut, thereby breaking the protective layer. For installation, roofing screws are used, heads, which can be of any color on the RAL table. As a decor, various fence strips, caps on supports and visors for the gate are used.

Decorative brick and stone fence

• Sometimes "deaf" fences are erected from decorative brick and / or stone, representing a powerful wall. This design with ease withstands automatic gate for the fence, because in this situation are added mechanisms and cables made of metal, and this is an excessive load on the supports.

Cast Concrete Fence

• Also, "deaf" sections are cast from concrete, but they can be ordinary or imitate decorative stone, brick, wood, marble, and so on. Such structures, as a rule, are quite powerful and able to withstand electric gates with their weight. For art casting used forms of metal, polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane.

Gate and gate for a fence from a decorative brick

• I would like to give a little more attention to the folding part or the gate of the fence, because they often have a large enough mass and they need powerful canopies. Of course, such constructions can also be on ropes and sleds, but still the supports should withstand them.

Council The installation of "deaf" fences means the construction of a rather massive structure, which needs a good foundation. Therefore, in addition to the pillar foundation for the supports, you should also pour the strip foundation for the sections.

Arbor in the yard

• "Deaf" fences will help to equip the courtyard of the estate at their discretion and to erect buildings for a comfortable pastime or for auxiliary farming (you can combine everything together). For example, barbecues with a barbecue for relaxing in the summertime will allow you to invite friends for a holiday, and greenhouses on the estate will bring fresh vegetables to your diet.

Forged fencing

Wrought iron gate and fence

• Such as in the photo at the top of the gate for the fence with your own hands, you certainly will not do, because this is an artistic forging, which is a real art. Such openwork lattices can be made either from steel or from cast iron and are opened with ordinary paint and varnish coatings.

Wrought iron grille in the Summer Garden

• Sometimes the price of wrought iron grilles is estimated at thousands of dollars, because you cannot call it anything other than a masterpiece. But the craftsmen did not translate to this day, so you can always order such a product - it would be better than to pay. To advise in this situation something, at least, is inappropriate, because it will be like telling the artist how to paint a picture.

Support for temporary and capital fences

Wooden posts for fencing

• Wooden fence posts are fast-rotting material, which is why they are good for temporary fences that will last no more than 2–3 years. Also, these posts are used for garden or garden fences for light low shtaketnikov.

Council When using wooden supports, their butt should be treated with resin or solid lubricants to protect the wood from moisture and its destructive action.

Metal profile supports

• The diameter of the metal pillars will directly affect the width of the gate in the fence, because they have to withstand the load, the value of which also depends on the width of the sash. The profile configuration can be different, that is, it can be rectangular, round, or square.

Council To increase the life of the metal profile, it is necessary to hermetically seal up not only its upper end, but also the butt, so that the ground water does not penetrate. Below this can be done with foam.

Concrete supports

• The most unpretentious can be called concrete pillars - they are not afraid of the destructive action of moisture with oxygen and have excellent resistance to mechanical damage. The supports are made by pouring the solution into the molds and forming it on the vibrating table. Such racks can be smooth or have a decorative surface (depending on the shape).

Laying masonry brick supports

• The supports of silicate or decorative bricks are made on the basis of a metal profile, which, in turn, is installed on a pillar foundation. These are the most powerful pillars and can withstand any weight of gate leaves or wickets, if the corresponding embedded parts are selected.

Conclusion

Arrangement of capital fences also requires compliance with the norms of the Town Planning Code, because otherwise the fence may be illegal. Remember that unauthorized construction means dismantling this construction at your expense.
