Lattice enclosing area: installation features in the home

In modern Western civilization there are practically no fences in private households of the middle class. This is due to the small size of the plots due to the high cost of land. For our realities, the grid enclosing the site is not just a tribute to fashion, but also a necessity.

The main objective of this design is to prevent the entry of unauthorized persons into the territory adjacent to the house.

It is possible to install the fence without the involvement of workers and specialists. A great help novice master will be step by step photos with a description of the process and video in this article. Viewing images will provide an accurate picture of the meaning and sequence of operations.

In the practical implementation of this work it will help to quickly master simple operations.

Tools and materials for the installation of fencing

The metal grill is a relatively inexpensive, durable and robust design. The most democratic option is a wire mesh type "chain-link". Not bad proved the welded lattices from a steel bar of small section with a polymeric covering.

Such protective grille has a presentable appearance, which persists for a long time.

For the installation of the finished sections do-it-yourself, you will need the tools and materials according to the list:

1. Bayonet and soviet shovels for excavation and mixing of the mortar;
2. Buckets for water, sand and rubble;
3. Capacity or steel sheet for mixing the components of the concrete mix;
4. Cord for marking and mounting sections;
5. Hydraulic level and plumb;
6. Cement grade 400 or 500.

The sections of the lattice fence bearing columns, gates and gates have standard sizes. However, you may need some adjustment of parts on the installation site, which will require an electric drill and an angle grinder with a cutting wheel.

The price of finished metal fences is acceptable for the average consumer. Given the small cost of installation, such a fence will quickly justify the investment.

Preparatory measures for the installation of fencing

At the first stage, the plot is planned with the definition of the exact boundary. Metal or wooden pegs are set along control points. Cords are stretched between them, denoting lines along which grilles and fences will be installed.

In a strip about 0.5–1 m wide from them, it is necessary to remove all obstacles hindering the work.

High grass, bushes, stones and other elements are removed outside the site or recycled. When conducting preparatory activities, it is necessary to take into account the relief of the adjacent territory.

Small differences in height can be leveled during the installation of sections at a certain level. With significant elevations and depressions, the fence is mounted with ledges.

Metal Grid Mounting Procedure

As a rule, when purchasing a ready-made fence in a building supermarket or a specialized company, you can get recommendations on installation. Often with the documentation is issued and detailed written instructions.

The installation of the fence is approximately as follows:

1. Along the fence line, the installation positions of the supporting posts for the fence are marked. They must be in the corners and approximately every 2.5-3 m;

Installation of pillars for the fence

Tip: in order to maintain equal distances between the supports within a certain area, for example: from the corner to the gate, you must perform a series of actions. First, the total length of the section is measured and divided by the maximum allowable value for the installation step of the pillars. Then the resulting figure is rounded to a whole number, which will be the number of intervals. Now it only remains to find the quotient from dividing the length of the section by the result obtained, and we will get the distance between adjacent columns.

1. With the help of a bayonet spade or a special drill, a pit is dug not less than 0.5-0.7 m deep and about 0.25-0.3 m in diameter to install support pipes;
2. In the extreme pits we install the columns and make their mutual alignment in height. Verticality is adjusted using a level in two planes, or a building plumb can be used for this purpose;
3. The pits are filled with pre-prepared concrete mortar with rubble or broken stone. The ratio of the components of sand, cement and crushed stone is 4 to 1 and to 3, water is added until a necessary density is formed;
4. Lattice fencing mounted after 3-5 days required for the complete solidification of the solution. In the delivery set there is a special fastener with all the necessary bolts, nuts, washers and brackets.

Features of installation of gates and gates

Metal lattice fence has aisles, which are closed with special structures. Manufacturers offer ready-made solutions in the form of gates and gates.

When carrying out their installation in the first place it is necessary to achieve a strictly vertical position of the racks on which they are installed. This will avoid spontaneous opening and closing.

Designs with gratings from different materials are becoming more common. Plastic nets for fencing sports fields are inexpensive and practical, they perform not only decorative functions, but also are able to keep the balls within the playing field.

With private building it is necessary to restrict access of unauthorized persons to the site. Renting fencing for construction sites in this case is the most acceptable option.

Conclusion

The mentality of our peoples was developed in difficult historical conditions. Often, a solid fence saved not only property, but also the life of the owner of the house.

Even metal fences and gratings with their visual permeability can reassure the homeowner. The use of finished sections of industrial production at the site is justified. At low cost, a robust and reliable fence is obtained.
