How to choose a metal fence: the nuances

Iron Fenced Private Property

Territory fencing is an important part of the exterior design of a building or private property, without which it is difficult to manage, since in most cases this is necessitated by necessity or its availability is provided by law. Today, one of the highest quality and affordable analogues are metal fencing Gardis, which are made by a Russian manufacturer.

At the moment, several types of metal fences and fences are manufactured and sold, which differ from each other in design and scope of application. Depending on the purpose for which the object will be fenced, the appropriate type of product is selected. Provided to your attention the instructions and videos in this article will help you learn more about the products.

Metal fences are divided into types, each of which has a corresponding design and adaptability to certain conditions of operation. The analog you need should be chosen based on what kind of object should be separated from the outside world. Consider some of the most frequently needed areas.

Country plots, cottages

Land outside the city, very often need to enclose a fence, and metal welded fences in this case will be one of the most rational options. It will effectively prevent the penetration of outsiders and clearly define the boundaries of private property. Most often, due to its merits, panel types of fencing are used for this purpose.

The fencing of this type consists of panels, the basis of which is made up of rods with different sections welded together, swing gates and load-bearing posts, which can go both with the foundation and without it - for installation on a hard surface. The fastening of the metal fence to the bearing posts is carried out by means of steel clamps, which in turn are tightened with the help of bolts and nuts.

Virtues

• Efficiency - for the manufacture of panels using a minimum amount of materials, thereby reducing their final cost. This is also facilitated by the absence of welded works during installation - the estimate for the metal fence in this case will consist only of pouring the strip foundation and installing a fence.
• Possibility of installation do it yourself - the design of the fence is quite simple and allows you to install it yourself, thereby saving on the involvement of installers.
• Visibility - The structure of the fence is designed in such a way that the territory can be fully viewed. This increases the degree of security of the object to be fenced off.
• Durability - Each detail of the fence is covered with a layer of zinc, as in traditional protective galvanization, but in addition to this, the surface of the parts is also covered with a layer of polymer, which provides additional protection against corrosion. Also, the polymer layer eliminates the need for primary processing of the product.

Land plots, territories

Metal fencing of the territory, which is located in the countryside or on the outskirts of the city also has its own characteristics. First of all, this fence should prevent accidental or intentional penetration beyond the fence. At the same time, the price of the material should not be excessively large, since in most cases large enough areas are fenced in.

It should also be noted that in this case, the aesthetic side and appearance of the fence is not a priority; accordingly, it is possible to sacrifice this parameter in favor of reducing the cost of material. In this case, the most suitable option would be a metal mesh fence.

At installation of a mesh fence, the tape base is initially filled in. Then the carrier columns are installed, between which the network will be further stretched. The installation process is simple and can be done by the site owner himself.

Virtues

• Efficiency - this is the cheapest option of area fencing, as the main material used in it is a metal wicker net, the cost of which is an order of magnitude lower than other products.
• Security - metal mesh effectively protects the perimeter from possible invasions of animals, bystanders and so on.

Sports facilities and playgrounds

In this case, it is not only about restricting access to the object from the outside, but also about such a factor as protecting the surrounding area from various sports and game projectiles that can fly out from the inside. The most priority here is the height of the fence, which must be at least 3 - 5 meters - only in this case, you can guarantee reliable protection of nearby objects from accidental damage.

In this case, the metal fencing of the site may consist of panel sections, or have a mesh base - the height of both options is adjusted by increasing the length of the supporting pillars. Also feature of the fence of this type is an additional plane, which is located at the very top along the entire perimeter and creates additional protection against the departure of sports equipment outside the restricted area.

City infrastructure

Fencing off office buildings, shops, parking lots, and so on - requires a special approach, since here the emphasis is not on real protection from the intrusion of outsiders, but on the appearance of the fence and the delimitation of the territory. The main functional task of fences within the precincts of a busy city is to prevent the entry of vehicles and the accidental invasion of negligent pedestrians.

The most suitable for this purpose are metal road barriers, which have a small height and have a good appearance. It can be both forged handicrafts, striking in their beauty, and strict panel-type products that will also be relevant.

In addition to the above options, in this case a metal chain can be used for fencing, which will impede the entry of vehicles and, at the same time, will not give the impression of being “fenced off” from the outside world.

Note! If a building or territory is located in close proximity to the roadway, then GOST standards necessarily require the presence of barrier type road barriers, which in turn are subject to OKOF classification.

Private houses

In private homes, metal fences most often carry a purely aesthetic function, since in most cases private property owners prefer to use blank walls as a fence, which hide the area from curious looks. Here the most appropriate will be the use of small, but at the same time beautiful metal products.

The design approach will be most appropriate, since the appearance of the fence in this case plays a fundamental role. Forged base, twisted 3D structure, etc. - All this will be appropriate when decorating the fence of a private house. Also fences of this type are characterized by various accessories playing the role of decoration - metal hollow balls for fences, various shapes, inscriptions, etc.

Depending on what kind of function the fencing should perform, one should select the analogue most suitable for this purpose in order to avoid overspending and achieve the desired result. In some cases, mobile metal fencing may be the most economical way out of this situation.
