Metal mesh for fencing - & laquo; easy & raquo; private

At different times and for different people the question of how to protect their property was decided differently. What is preferred? How to practically build a fence? Take it for yourself or attract specialists?

Listening to the advice of professionals and specialists it is very difficult to make a choice of one or the other.

Practical option for land fencing

Decisive factor

It all depends on many components:

• Personal tastes and wishes.
• You have the skills in this work.
• Material aspect.

You can tell a lot about choosing a contractor for this work, and this applies to large construction projects, but we will stop at the option - do it yourself.

If you do not have the skills of a carpenter and an excellent welder for the manufacture of the fence, you can not afford to hire equipment for installation and purchase expensive materials. Then you should look at the fence of metal mesh. It is on the shoulder to build a novice.

Along with this, which is important, such a fence is relatively not expensive. The price of building grids will pleasantly please you, after monitoring the price of wood, metal, profiled.

The constructive solution and technology of work should be approached responsibly. It is necessary to perform the necessary measurements, calculate the amount of building materials, prepare the ground for work.

Constructive solution

Welded mesh fencing can be performed:

• In the form of sections, boards, fixed between the racks, which is more suitable for the infield.
• Directly attaching the grid to the racks is a variant of the fencing of the sports field, parking lot, holiday village, construction site, etc.

Mesh type fencing allows you to protect people and protect any area from strangers

Note! Metal mesh is not a panacea, now manufacturers offer plastic nets for fencing sports fields and similar facilities.

Preparatory work

The foundation of the fence can be:

• Tape.
• Separately standing.

Tip! If you are designing a fence for the backyard of your private house or cottage, cast your vote in favor of a shield fence of a welded mesh on a strip foundation.

The individual fragments of the fence panels, as can be seen in the photo below, are a metal frame filled with a grid.

The frame can be made from:

The grid does not hide you from prying eyes, but at the same time it does not prevent sun rays from falling on the ground.

• Corner steel.
• Steel square pipes.
• Rectangular steel pipes.

Sections of a fence fasten to racks.

Racks in turn can be made from:

• Steel pipe round profile.
• Steel square pipes.

Important! The parameters of the steel products used and the calculation of the foundation are taken individually. It all depends on the height of the fence, the method of mounting racks, mounting sections, the price component, your own wishes.

After you decide on basic materials, you should proceed with the installation process.

Installation of fencing

Now step by step instructions of the device of the welded mesh fence:

• Earthworks - digging a trench in length equal to the length of the fence, 400-800 mm wide, 800-1000 mm deep.
• We prepare the base for the foundation of sand or granulated slag 100 mm.
• We arrange the formwork for the device of the foundation to a height of 150 mm or more from the ground level (optional) from boards or plywood.
• We lower the spatial reinforcement cage into the trench (from reinforcing steel 8-12 mm, wired 6 mm).
• We connect with the frame of the stand at a distance of no more than 2 m from each other (we boil over with reinforcement, or we tie them with reinforcement and wire). On the racks we weld on two “ears” of strip steel at the bottom and at the top for fastening the sections.
• We put the concrete mix, condense it with a vibrator, if there is one in the farm, or with a shovel. After, level the open surface, leave the concrete until it is strong and solid.
• The frame of the shield is manufactured and further mounted using electric welding. The fence mesh (for fencing, usually with a large cell 50x50, 50x100 mm from thick wire 2-4 mm) is cut to size and attached to the frame.

When welding, observe all safety measures, at a minimum - use plastic glasses and gloves

• Fasten the section to the "ears" on the rack by welding or bolts.

On the frame, you can weld the corners on which the mesh will stretch

That's it, your fence of welded mesh on the strip foundation is ready.

Different installation options

Note! If you started a construction site and want to protect the construction site, it is not necessary to construct the structure yourself or to make capital investments. You can use the service - rental fencing for construction sites.

Consider the options for the device fence of welded mesh, mounted directly on the rack, installed by the method:

• Drive stand - this is possible provided that the soil in the place of installation is not very rocky. The stand is simply hammered into the ground to a depth of 80 cm. Pay attention that the gates and gate will be fixed to the stand - they are concreted.
• In-depth method, with partial concreting (the upper layer is concreted).
• In-depth installation, with full concreting.
• Rubbing rubble deep rack (the notch under the rack is filled with rubble with bayonet clotting).

Remember that all pillars must be level

For all options, the last stage - the grid is attached to the racks with special fasteners (metal bracket and bolt).

Important! Do not forget to prime and paint the metal structures, this will prolong the life and improve the aesthetic appearance of the fence.

Conclusion

The installation of the grid is not so complicated process that can be performed by almost every man. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
