Machaon fencing - ensuring the protection of the facility

Many industrial facilities, production sites and territories of public institutions need security barriers. It is also necessary to ensure the safety of people working in hazardous conditions, for example, near existing equipment. Machaon fencing, which is a solid metal mesh on the supports, helps to solve such tasks quickly and efficiently.

Safety fence in the production workshop

In essence, these are modular fences, assembled from separate sections without the use of heavy machinery, welding equipment and sophisticated tools. If you want to learn more about its design, applications and installation methods, the information below is for you.

Design features

The metal obstacle Machaon is made in different versions, differing in size, steel bar thickness, a complete set, but with a similar design.

Elements of construction

Makhaon barrier cloths are made by spot welding from steel wire with a diameter of 5 mm.

For reference. The production process is fully automated. After welding, the blades are abraded, then a zinc and polymer coating is applied to the metal, protecting the structure from harmful weather factors and allowing it to be used in any climatic conditions.

The fence consists of the following structural elements:

• Welded panels, made in the form of a grid with a cell size of 50x110, 50x230, 50x260 mm. On the upper and lower edges, they have protruding 40 mm pins, and vertical rods with a V-shaped bend give them additional strength.

Metal mesh with stiffeners

• Support racks in the form of a profiled rectangular pipe or a bent profile. Racks, like the panels themselves, are covered with an anticorrosive polymer film and galvanized inside and out.

Attention! It is recommended to use the curved profile as a support with a total height of up to 2 meters.

• Plugs for the upper part of the supports to prevent the ingress of dust, dirt and moisture.
• Plastic or metal galvanized fasteners with which fencing panels are easily and quickly mounted on racks. You can do it yourself, without using complex tools.

All these elements are included in the obligatory set of standard series obstacles, which are installed in the ground by the method of concreting.

In the event that another installation method is used, as well as when a more reliable barrier is required, the fence can be completed with the following additional elements at the request of the customer:

• Racks with flange bases.
• The screw support accelerating installation and excluding heavy concrete works.
• Racks visor barriers that increase the height and provide an obstacle to perelazov through the mesh barrier.

Barbed Wire Visor Barrier

For reference. Mesh panels, barbed wire, etc., are used as the main obstacle to tilting.

• Metal boxes for laying signal or power cables in them and their protection from external influences.

Mounting options

The design of the supports-racks for mounting mesh panels is selected depending on how you are going to install the barrier. For example, if you provide rental of fencing for construction sites, which is mounted for a certain period of time, it makes no sense to make it stationary and to concrete the pillars.

For such cases, supports are provided on the flanges, which allow them to be fastened with anchors to the concrete floor or to the existing foundation, as well as to screw piles for the fence. At the end of construction, the fence is easily dismantled, and the screw supports are twisted out of the ground.

Types of supports and their installation

Conventional racks designed for installation in the ground, it is recommended to concrete. Moreover, concreting, depending on the type of soil, can be complete or partial - up to the middle of the length of the dive.

In principle, any other supports are installed in the same way, to which various barrier canvases are subsequently attached - plastic nets for fencing of sports fields, professional sheets, etc.

Mounting of Mahahon fencing

It is unlikely that you will need installation instructions for this design, if you already have experience in the construction of fences. Everything is much simpler here.

But nevertheless, a brief description of the process does not hurt.

1. Mark the perimeter of the future fence and with the help of wooden stakes and the rope stretched between them mark its upper level.
2. Install the extreme rack in any of the ways described above. In the case of installation in the ground, first secure it in the hole with wooden bars.
3. Attach one section of metal fence to the rack to outline the installation location of the next support. Continue in the same order.

Do not forget to check the vertical support

1. When all the racks are installed, fix the nets on them with the help of the supplied hardware, focusing on the tensioned rope.

Attention! If the installation is carried out with the concreting of supports, it is necessary to wait for the concrete solution to gain the necessary strength.

Barrier panels can be fixed to the ground to prevent digging under the fence. At the same time, remember that its height will decrease in accordance with the depth value.

Conclusion

The relatively low price, ease of installation and transparency of the fencing that is being created allows us to use Machaon fences in various spheres of human activity, from household to production. They can be seen both on city streets, in parks, airports and stadiums, and in industrial factory workshops and in warehouses.
