Fence

At the moment, many firms and small businesses have mastered the manufacture of fences and gates. But it is worth looking at the manufacturers before you decide to order for yourself a decent fence and all its additional elements. What should you think about when ordering, purchasing and installing them?

Fences and fence elements now makes a lot of firms.

Note! Needless to say, the design must be strong and reliable, it is clear to everyone. It must be remembered that the gate is not only the entrance and exit, they also serve as the entrance for the car, and therefore must be large enough. To equip them with a wicket is also very desirable, because you will not open heavy shutters every time to enter the courtyard.

What else needs to be considered

When planning to purchase a ready-made fencing, think about such factors.

Important points

  1. First of all, the reliability of gates, doors, gates and fences is important. Unbidden guests should not enter your site. On this basis, the fence and the entrance and entrance structures built into it should be of sufficient height for your protection (see also the article Fence Height and other issues of garden and housing construction).
  2. Strength must also meet all safety requirements. Large, but wobbly structures can twist or even fall at the slightest impact.

The uniform style of all elements of the fence is important.

  1. All components must match. In other words - the gate should go to the gate, and not to the fence. Distortions, scratches, cracks and other defects are completely unacceptable. Anyone who makes the manufacture of gates and fences may try to convince you that over time, all pritret one to another. This is not at all the case; therefore, when ordering and controlling the installation, you should definitely monitor the quality carefully.

The car must pass freely through the gate opening.

  1. Protective structures must have exactly the size you need. Before ordering, carefully measure the required distance from the ends of the fence, taking into account that the car passes into the entrance opening with a decent margin (see also the article “Distance from the fence to the fence, or the prelude to the neighbor wars). The gate also should not be too narrow, so as not to have to go into it sideways.
  1. When manufacturing and installation of fences of gate and gates are made, it is necessary to make sure that everything is consistent with each other and in design. A low-power entrance will look ridiculous in relation to the massive and sturdy fencing. In the same way, the huge gates will not fit aesthetically into a light fence.
  1. If you plan to make a fence at the same time as the entrance is made, this will be the right decision. In this case, it will be much easier for you to fit all the elements, both in size and ratio, and in style.

Note! Materials in this case are of great importance. For example, a huge gate made of wood or very heavy, welded metal will not fit a light mesh construction. But they will be perfectly in harmony with a brick or stone wall.

  1. After the installation and manufacture of the fence has been completed, and if it has not yet been painted, it is necessary to choose the ratio according to the color scheme of all its elements. It is undesirable to choose completely different colors. It is necessary to pick up either related tones, or make the entrance a little lighter or darker in shade.

Types of gates

Almost every owner will be able to make and mount a light or temporary fence with his own hands. But when planning a durable and strong fence, especially from materials that require serious preparation for installation, installation of the foundation, complex elements and other things, it is better to turn to experts (see also the article How to Make a Foundation for the Fence: The Most Popular Solutions and Important Nuances). Then the manufacture and installation of the fence will pass quickly, and you will be satisfied with the result.

When choosing a locking structure does not hurt to think about its type. There are three main types of doors - swing, sliding and overhead sectional.

Swing construction.

  1. The first variety is traditional and has, as a rule, two leaves. They, in a horizontal plane, open towards the street. This happens in most cases. But, if you have enough space, you can make them open inside the courtyard.

The design of sliding gates.

  1. The second version works on the principle of the compartment doors, that is - rolls away to the side. The video in this article presents this type. This option is good if you want to save space. The canvas of such a locking device is suspended on a special rail and moves with the help of rollers. The rail is fixed on the supporting pillars, standing on the foundation.

Lifting sectional gates.

  1. The lifting and sectional designs are quite high price. But they are convenient, because do not take away free space, because they move vertically when opening / closing. They are durable and aesthetically attractive. They are provided with automation and control panel, so you can unlock the entrance without leaving the car.

How to order fencing

  2. Ask a specialist to inspect your site, to make all the necessary measurements. He must choose the most optimal option, suitable for this particular case. To advise you something suitable is also included in his competence.
  3. Be sure to view the photos already made by experts. You can appreciate not only the quality, but also choose something interesting for yourself.
