Fence

The advantages of a metal mesh fence are obvious. It is cheap, built quickly, reliably protects the site from unauthorized entry and does not interfere with air circulation. Therefore, the fence of the chain-link - the most common option fencing suburban areas.

Plants near this fence do not suffer from a lack of sunlight.

You can build such a fence by yourself. This will reduce the cost of it even more, and you will save money for the family budget.

Preparation of materials for the fence

Rabbit selection

The grid the chain-link is on sale in rolls in usual hardware stores. It can be of different lengths and widths, differ in wire thickness and cell size.

For the fence of the chain-link mesh is considered the most suitable mesh width 1.5 meters long and 10 or 20 meters long. The size of the cells is not critical - choose to your taste.

Council For the fence, it is better to purchase a rabbit made of galvanized wire, or a grid coated with a colored polymer coating. It costs more than black, but you do not have to paint it. Yes, and it will last longer.

Workpiece supports

Wooden poles or metal pipes can serve as supports for such a fence.

  • Their number is calculated based on the perimeter of the fenced area and the distance between the supports.

For reference. The optimal distance between the intermediate supports is 2.5-3 meters.

Single span

  • To determine the height of the supports, it is necessary to add the size of their penetration into the ground (1-1.3 meters) to the width of the chain-link and add another 5-10 cm to the gap between the ground level and the lower grid border.
  • Corner supports should be 20–30 cm longer, as they are under heavy load and should be driven deeper.

The construction of the fence of metal mesh

How to make a fence from the netting chain-link? As for most similar structures, for such a fence, a frame is first made, after which the grid is stretched onto it.

Installation of supports

  1. Using a drill, make grooves in the ground at the corners of the plot, install corner supports in them and fill with concrete.

Strengthen edges of a roofing formwork

  1. Stretch the cord between the corner supports and mark the installation sites of the intermediate supports on it.
  2. Install intermediate supports and wait for the concrete mixture to set completely.

Mesh mount

To fix the metal fence mesh can be in different ways. The simplest of them is to simply stretch it between the supports and fasten or weld to them in several places. But such a fence and does not look aesthetically pleasing, and is not a reliable barrier, as you can get to the site, simply lifting the lower edge of the chain-link.

Therefore, it is better to choose one of the following options:

  • Screw the wooden bars with a section of 30-40 mm to the top and bottom of the supports. Rabits nail them to the nails, strongly pulling between the supports.
  • Weld rectangular frames from a steel corner. Their length should be equal to the distance between the supports, and the width - the width of the grid. The chain-link is cut to length and attached to the frames by welding. Then the frames themselves are welded to the supports.

Sectional fence mesh

Council You can simply weld the corners to the supports along the top and bottom, put a net between them and weld it to the corners.

If you chose the first option, then you will have to dock with the rolls of the chain-link. This can be done in two ways:

  1. Unscrew the outermost wire from one web of the grid, lay both canvases next to a small overlap. Screw the wire back, connecting both pieces.
  2. You can take the usual straight wire with a diameter of 5-6 mm, and connect two pieces of the chain-link with it.

Conclusion

It is better to be engaged in the manufacture of such a fence with an assistant, since it is difficult to stretch, hold and fix the mesh alone.

If you bought a black wire mesh, you need to paint it with metal paint using a narrow brush.
