Peaks for the fence - beauty and grace

Forged fence with peaks.

To date, exquisite wrought fences continue to enjoy a certain popularity. Such hedges, without a doubt, can be an excellent choice for a modern cottage, so if you want to emphasize the majestic style of your estate, you know what kind of fence you need.

No matter how elegant your wrought-iron gates are, their construction will look unfinished without beautiful figured peaks. Such a frame has a long history, and today is in steady demand.

Oh, I was on the fence

Naturally, the peaks are only suitable for wrought iron fences. And if you decide to install such a fence on your site, then you cannot do without this accessory. Consider several options for modern peak.

Peak types for wrought iron fences:

1. The form.

• In most cases, the peaks on the fence are made in the form of slightly flattened metal petals (as in the photo below).

Peaks for fences of various sizes.

• Three- or four-sided cones are also a frequent form of modern peaks.
• Very often there are tops in the form of tips of spears and arrows, and they can be both textured and completely flat.
• Such elements of forged fencing can be designed in the form of any object that resembles an elongated equilateral triangle. For example, in the form of Christmas trees.
• Так называемые, эксклюзивные pommel, которые могут быть изготовлены в виде небольших статуэток.

1. Material. Cast peaks for forged barriers can be of two types: cast iron and steel.

• Cast iron. Such forged products can be completely different forms. They are presented in the modern market in a big variety. Their only drawback is poor fixation to steel fences.

Cast products are the most beautiful figured parts of the fence. If you are more interested in attractiveness than functionality, then such peaks will be an excellent choice for you.

Tip! Casting does not allow you to create really sharp products, and therefore such elements are unlikely to be able to somehow prevent the intruders from entering your territory.

• Steel. Perhaps such products are currently the most common. In this case, you will not have problems with fastening to a steel fence.

Forged peaks are made of ordinary metal, most often of steel, grade St3. That is why they are so well welded with metal rods.

Picking the peak for the fence

Sharp peaks - reliable protection of your site from intruders.

Initially, the main function of such pillars on the pillars was protective. That is, the sharp parts were installed around the perimeter of the fence, not to ensure the attractiveness and refinement of the fence, but as an obstacle to the intruders. Nowadays, such elements of fences are used for the most part for decorative purposes.

Thus, the purpose of the current peak is:

• Protecting possessions from uninvited guests. Для этого лучше всего использовать стальные кованые pommel.
• Use for decorative purposes. If you do not want to install traditional spikes on your hedge, you can turn to molded products. However, modern elements of artistic forging are no less attractive.
• Exist combined fencingwhere sharp and decorative peaks are set through one.

Another aspect in the choice of the top relates to the relevance of an element in a particular design of the fence. In particular, this applies to the use of cast peaks for beautifully forged fences, where such elements may look "alien."

Therefore, no matter how you want to achieve the originality of the fence - you should not overdo it.

How to use peaks in the construction of the fence

Such constructions can be installed both at the top of the hedge and framing it from below.

These days peaks can be decorated with such elements of the fence:

• Top, hence another name for these elements - pommel. Проявив фантазию, вы можете придать своей изгороди слегка закругленной формы. Этого очень легко достичь, устанавливая pommel на разную высоту по принципу полкруга или волны.

Reference: Top or top is an ancient term that meant the top of the tower or the top of the sword. Often used in the lexicon of restoration teams.

• In some cases, these elements also adorn the bottom of the fence. As a result, quite unusual fences are obtained. This move is used when the intake section is raised above the ground. Then such products will be very useful. For example, you purchased sections 1.5 meters wide, but realized that such a height would not be enough for you.

And this is not a cause for concern, because in this case, you can “increase” the canvas not only from above, but also from below.

Setting peak on the fence

Fastening the fence to the hedge in any case is carried out by welding.

Tip! Peaks should be selected with one cross-section and forms with fence rods.

1. Forged Products. As mentioned above, they are very easily welded to forged fences. Forged items for the fence are of two types: round and square in cross section. Accordingly, only round elements are suitable for fences with a round section. And for those who have a square cross-section, respectively, are square. And the point here is not only in aesthetics, but also in carrying out installation works with your own hands.

Some sections of fences are made already with established peaks.

1. Cast. The installation instructions for these products are somewhat different from forged ones, since such elements provide for a landing nest. That is, in this case during installation, you will need to put the product on the tip of the rod. And here the selection of sections and shapes is particularly relevant.

Conclusion

In most cases, the price depends on the manufacturer and appearance. Naturally, the more original the product, the greater will be its value. By setting the peaks on the hedge yourself, you can save a lot.
