And although the fence on such stilts is not the cheapest option for the fence, but for at least a decade or so the owner will not have to deal with various repair work on the fence. Screw pile - it is a metal product, which is a steel pipe, equipped with a special cutting blade, which makes it easy to penetrate the soil.

The design of screw piles designed for different soils.

Due to the unique shape of the blade, such a pillar can be screwed into the soil at any depth, it also provides the structure with stability and reliability, because such fences do not need a foundation.

Metallic screw poles for the fence are treated with specially designed protective compounds that prevent the formation of corrosion.

The advantages of screw piles over traditional types of supports

• It is possible to establish such support on the most difficult soil. Water-saturated clay, peatlands, loams, sandy loams, areas characterized by high levels of groundwater, etc.

Tip! Screw piles can not be installed on rocks, because there may be gatherings and chips, which put into question the durability of the entire structure.

• For the installation does not require any special training area. Piles can be installed between trees, near stumps and on uneven ground. The fences on the screw piles of Juvent can be installed with equal success both on a flat stretch and on a slope.
• Installation is very quick and simple, and does not require any special skills. You can install such supports manually, without the use of special equipment (as in the photo).

Install screw piles by hand.

• Screw piles can be used by you several times, which is very convenient when installing temporary fences.
• When installing such pillars you do not spoil the structure of the soil, mixing it with harmful substances.
• Durability. This technology has more than one hundred years, and therefore the fact that such a fence can stand for up to 100 years is a proven fact many times.

Installation of fences on screw piles

Consider one of the options how to build a fence on screw piles with their own hands. As a canvas for such a fence can be used such materials:

• Tree.
• Profulist.
• Grid.
• Brick.
• Concrete.
• Forged segments.

Most often these days you can find a wooden fence on screw piles, as well as structures made of corrugated flooring. In this case, a single frame construction is used, because our instructions will rely on these materials.

Fences from a professional leaf on screw piles are reliable and durable barriers.

1. Preparatory stage. At this stage, the quality of the soil is assessed, namely, trial screwing of the pile is carried out in order to establish the depth limit. To install a reliable support, one and a half meters is enough, that is, overcoming the depth of soil freezing.

This is a necessary measure to prevent bulging caused by frost heaving, which can lead to serious problems when the fence is already installed.

1. Actually installation. Piles need to be screwed into the ground at a depth of 2.5-3 meters. Such an installation can be made both manually and in the presence of professional equipment that can greatly facilitate the process.

Installing the fence on the screw piles with your own hands, you should carefully control the angle of the pile, since it will no longer be possible to level it.

1. Next, you should prune the pile to the required size and fill the prepared hole with a solution of cement. Cementing is necessary in order to increase the bearing capacity of the frame and fix the support in a certain position.

Tip! To increase the wear resistance, the upper part of the pile screwed into the ground should be primed and treated with protective compounds.

1. Installation lag. Fences made of corrugated board on screw piles necessarily include the installation of a log (at least two - the top and bottom).

Installation lag by welding.

Lags can be set in two ways:

• Welded directly to the supports.
• Screwed to the posts with bolts. To do this, in the places of the passage of the lag to the supports are welded metal corners with drilled holes for fasteners.

1. Installation of professional sheets. The method of installation of fence panels depends on the style of fence that you have chosen. The most common option is to install panels parallel to the supporting pillars. This stage requires careful measurements to help you avoid problems with distortions that arise in future work.

Tip! When mounting the launch pad, make sure that it is at least five centimeters from the ground. In the event that the sheet touches the ground, it will quickly become unusable under the influence of moisture.

The stages of this work are as follows:

• You should determine the baseline for the screw foundation, that is, the minimum height from the ground over which the profiled sheets will be attached.
• Having defined this line, stretch the construction thread between the supporting pillars exactly along its height.
• Attach the first panel to the lag, for the correct location, focusing on the construction line.
• Make sure that the plumb line and height are set correctly by you, then fix the panel.

• The next sheet should be aligned to the previous one, attached to the horizontal lags and fixed.
• Do the previous steps with all the professional sheets.
