How to build a fence on a country site

Before you build your own fence on a country site, you must correctly understand the requirements that apply to this structure. Failure to comply with regulations can have serious consequences for homeowners in terms of litigation with neighbors or local authorities.

Brick fence

General requirements for the construction of the fence

The construction of the fence must comply with the rules specified in SNiP 30-02-97 and SP 30-102-99, which, in particular, regulate the minimum distance from it to the buildings:

1. 3m to the residential building;
2. 4 m to household livestock buildings;
3. 1 m to other buildings (garage, workshops, etc.);
4. 1 m to the bush;
5. 2 m from the tree of medium height;
6. 4 m from a tall tree.

The second question is the height of the fence. There are two options - between sites and facing the street.

In the second case, there is no clear regulation, in the first case it should not exceed 1 m and be breathable. The best option - shtaketnik or mesh chain-link.

Therefore, before you start building a fence, pre-select the option that suits you, so as not to spend the extra money. This will go below.

Types of fences

There are two main types of fences - deaf and not deaf, as well as decorative.

The first can be attributed - concrete, brick, corrugated, to the second - from the chain-link mesh, wooden picket fence, from lattice elements.

• A deaf fence will hide the plot, and no one can disturb the peace of the household.
• Lattice - will give more air to the territory.
• There is also a decorative fence option - a hedge that can be used between sections or as the main one.

Concrete fence

One of the most difficult options fencing. There are two options for reinforced concrete fence - cast and inlaid.

Concrete fence

• In the first In this case, the usual removable formwork is used, which rises to the required level as the mortar solidifies.
• In the second - decorative plates are usually delivered to the site, usually 1x2 m in size and weighing about 90 kg, which are installed manually or by a crane into the grooves of the restrictive posts. The latter is pre-installed and concreted.

Device of a cast fence:

1. It is necessary to dig a trench, the width of which will be 5-10 cm wider on both sides of the future fence, and depth - 0.5 m.
2. The bottom of the trench is compacted with sand and the framework of reinforcement is laid on it.
3. Everything is poured with a solution, where the basis is slag (waste from the power plant). The ratio of 1: 7 (cement: slag).

Advice: it is worth making work in the warm season, then the fence will naturally pick up the necessary fortress. If you doubt how to build a fence such a plan, read the tips in the video on our website.

Fence of corrugated

One of the fastest installations. To do this, you must first make a framework of metal pipes of square section. The supports are 60x60 mm, the transverse lags are 40x20 mm, the wall is 2 mm.

Professional fence fence

The device of a fence from a professional flooring (h = 2 m):

1. Install support legs to a depth of 1-1.2 m, the distance between them is 2.5 m.
2. Attach the logs, stepping back from the top of the support and below the ground 20 cm. For a reliable connection, use electric welding or bolts.
3. Prime the structure and coat it with an anti-corrosion paint.
4. Cut scissors on metal sheets 20 cm high.
5. With metal screws (galvanized or painted in the color of the profiled sheet) fasten the sheets to the logs and support posts (pillars).

If it is necessary to reliably protect the area from prying eyes, it is usually possible to build fences from a professional sheet with a height of over 2 m. However, this should take into account the high wind load that it will experience. Therefore, it is necessary to increase not only the cross-section of the support columns, but also the thickness of their walls, for example, 80x80 mm and 2.5 mm, respectively.

The poles must be buried 1.5 m and concreted to avoid the structure loosening by the wind. For the frame should be used 3 transverse lags. To better understand the process, you can watch the video in this article below.

Mesh fence

This is probably the easiest and least costly way to install fencing in the dacha or suburban area. It must be remembered that between the neighbors you can not put blind fences that will shade large areas, as shown in the photo below.

Mesh railing

There are two options for installing the fence from the netting netting with your own hands:

• using the frame;
• pulling on the supporting pillars.

In the first case, a steel corner with a shelf of 30-40 mm is used for the grid frame and metal pipes of square section 50 mm. It is worth saying that their price can make up the lion’s share of the project. The latter are concreted into the ground at a distance of 2 m from one another.

1. With the help of the corners, the frame of the future section is welded.
2. The required grid size of the chain-link is cut from the roll.
3. Insert into the top and bottom of the metal rods.
4. Weld the rods to the section.
5. Weld the plates with a length of 20 cm onto the supporting posts.
6. Weld the fence sections to them.
7. Primer and paint the structure.

The supporting posts can be brick, stone, cast or cinder block posts. From above and below they install metal plates protruding 15–20 cm on each side, to which the sections are welded.

Tip: when installing a sectional fence, it is necessary to leave a distance of 5-10 cm between it and the ground so that the metal does not corrode.

In the second case, metal poles d = 50 mm, a chain-link netting and clamps are necessary.

1. Install support legs in the ground. They can be hammered or concreted. Primer and paint the pillars.
2. Attach the end of the roll with hose clips to the rack.
3. Stretch it to its full length and fix in three places to each support post.
4. Bend with pliers, sticking up the ends of the chain-link mesh.

Wooden fence

The oldest version of the use of fences on flat terrain and on a slope. Completely wooden fences can be found today rarely, as metal began to be used as supports and lag.

It is more durable and reliable. Before work, all wooden elements should be primed, painted or varnished.

Wood fences are always popular

Stages of manufacturing a wooden fence:

1. Make pits under support posts at a distance of 2 m one from another. When using a drill for digging holes, please note that if the pillars are wooden, their diameter or cross-section should be at least 100 mm, metal - 50 mm.
2. Wrap the wooden racks with ruberoid to the depth of the pit, not forgetting to attach it from the end. So, you protect the material from moisture and destruction. Paint and paint metal racks to prevent corrosion.
3. Install racks in the pits and concreted.
4. Attach transverse logs to them - wooden (50x50 mm) or metal (20x40 mm).
5. Secure the pillar or boards to them with a screw or with a certain distance on them with screws.

Tip: the most affordable and inexpensive material is pine. After proper treatment, it can last for 20-30 years.

Brick fence

One of the most beautiful, durable and durable of building materials is brick. Structures from it can be erected on a flat surface and on a slope. Due to the variety of textures, brick fences can separate the owner of the house from a succession of other neighbors.

Sturdy construction: brick fence

The installation process resembles the construction of a house wall:

1. Foundation. Brick fences are very heavy, so its foundation must be strong and durable. Usually used for this reinforced concrete.
2. Installing pillars. To strengthen them inside they are often made hollow and a metal pipe is installed, which, after laying bricks, is poured with concrete.
3. The laying of the fence does not differ from the usual wall, but the aesthetics of the structure depends on it. Do not rush, do everything carefully, checking the construction level.

Tip: be sure to make the jointing between the rows of bricks. The rest of the solution can be removed with a brush on the metal.

Resume

The combination of materials in the construction of fences provides a solid and original look

As many guess, we have considered not all options from which it is possible to create fences for private and country houses. There are many of them.

Everyone has the right to choose what they like. It remains to wish you to make the right choice and build a strong structure!
