Metal mesh for the fence: the types and features of

Metal mesh fence.

A fence made of metal mesh is used for fencing gardens, gardens, country houses. The main purpose of such a fence is the delimitation of the territory. Gardeners and gardeners also very often use this material as a support for weaving plants, in particular, grapes.

Speaking about the features of such a fence, it should be noted that the network absolutely does not prevent the penetration of sunlight to the site, which explains its frequent use for garden plots. You can also safely place a flower garden near such a fence, without fear that your flowers will suffer from a lack of lighting.

Types of modern mesh fences

If a metal fence net is mentioned during a conversation, in most cases we are talking about a fence netting the chain-link - the most popular type of fence.

Among its advantages:

• Convenient and easy do-it-yourself installation, without using expensive specialist services.
• Democratic price.
• Undemanding care and durability. The only thing that is required of you is to update the layer of anti-corrosion coating and tint the surrounding areas. But even if this is not done - such a fence will be almost like new and twenty years later.
• Huge scope for design ideas. You can install such a fence on a brick or wooden base, which will give the design attractiveness.

Rabbit metal mesh fences can be of two types:

1. Stretch mesh. Such a network is sold in rolls and mounted on posts-supports through tension. To tension the chain-link, you can use a special mechanism or pull it manually using the lever principle. A roll of such a network can be found 10 or 20 meters long and an average of 1.5 meters wide.
2. Sectional fences from a grid of the chain-link (pictured above). In this case, the fence is assembled from ready-made modules. Mounts are made by welding or bolted. Most manufacturers produce sections of standard sizes. 1.5 x 2.5 meters.

The metal welded fence from a welded grid is not less popular. This sectional fence, made of steel wire, welded to a rigid frame. The main difference from the chain-link is the spot welding of all the places of contact between the twisted wires. As a result, it turns out a very strong network, which is most often used to protect protected areas and private houses.

The welded grid happens several types:

• Neotsinkovannaya. The cheapest and most unclaimed type of fencing of this type. Such a network is highly susceptible to corrosion damage.

Tip! If you decide to build a fence of non-galvanized mesh, then you should cover it with special anti-corrosion compounds.

• Galvanized. This type of welded mesh does not require the application of any composition, since the protective zinc coating significantly increases the durability of this material.
• Polymer coated. Polyvinyl chloride protects such structures from severe temperature extremes, corrosion and rapid fading.

Installation

Since rolled metal grids for fences are a more common type of fencing than their sectional counterparts, we first consider the features of their installation.

Installation of fences from a rolled grid

The instruction is simple and includes the following steps:

1. Dig holes about a meter deep at a distance of 2.5 meters from each other, designed to install support pillars.
2. Vertically install a pole in the pit. Pour free space with rubble and concreted.
3. Prepare the canvas. Since the maximum length of the grid in a roll is 20 meters, you will have to dock several webs using the following instructions:

• Unscrew the outermost wire from one of the webs.
• Align the ends of the two webs and screw in the wire so as to “sew” them, forming a solid mesh.

1. Fix the canvas on the support posts by stretching using one of the mounting options:

• Using screws or nails. The easiest option, which in most cases is used to install a support under the weaving plants. Such fastening is undesirable to use for fences, as any stranger will be able to lift the lower edge and freely penetrate your territory.
• Fastening on a wire with a diameter of 5-6 mm, which is drawn between the pillars. The basis of this design is a well-stretched wire, put on the upper and lower edge of the fence.

• Excellent appearance and durability has a fence, in which the canvas is attached to the wooden veins. To do this, use a board with a thickness of about 40 mm. Mounts are made with screws.

Tip! Treat the boards with a special protective compound, even if you are going to paint them. This will provide the tree with durability and protection from pests.

Installation of sectional fences

In this case, you need to complete the first two points from the previous instruction.

Metal sectional fence of welded mesh or chain-link provides one of two options for fastening the canvas to the supports:

1. With the help of bolts. To do this, it is necessary to make mounting holes in the corners of the section. The corners are welded to the posts, to which the sections are attached.
2. Welding method, which, of course, is more reliable.
