Terrace fencing - your summer house of comfort and

Nice and neat fence terraced area

Farmland is not only hard work, but also sweet moments of rest! Here in the cozy terrace you can hide from the hot sun or torrential rain, enjoy the riot of colors and fresh air, do something nice. And so you need with all the inspiration to approach the design of this extension. And one of the most important moments is the fence of the terrace of wood. This barrier construction serves two important purposes:

1. Functional. Provides safety while on the terrace.
2. Aesthetic. Terrace fences serve as a kind of final chord on the exterior of a country house.

Based on this, you need to select the appropriate option that could cope with these two appointments.

Wooden fence for terraces - the beauty in its purest form

There is no better place for joyful meetings and warm conversations!

Before dealing with the features of wooden products, let's clarify what the structure of the terrace fence itself consists of:

• poles that are mounted on the finished flooring using anchors or so-called "grouse";
• internal filling (usually balusters);
• handrail.

The combination of these elements and creates the final appearance.

Wood selection

More original design of a protective design

Wooden fence for the terrace is made of those wood species that are most suitable for use in outdoor conditions. As a rule, it is oak, pine, merbau or larch (see also the article Wooden fences for balconies and terraces are an excellent design solution).

However, of all the above, the most durable wood that is resistant to temperature changes and precipitation is Siberian larch.

It should be noted that this is not all its advantages:

• Terraced larch fencing does not require additional protective coating and dyeing, because the wood already contains natural antiseptic resin. They also protect the fence from pests, fungus or rotting.

Attention! Of course, if desired, such a fence can be given the desired shade. To this end, it is recommended to cover it with stain or special tinting compounds. This way you can not only add unusual shades to larch, but also visually emphasize the interesting texture of wood.

Enclosing the porch with glued larch

• Fencing for the terrace of larch wood will be a very reliable and durable solution, since the density of this breed reaches 780 kg / m? (that is, the strength of larch is second only to oak and beech).

• The price for larch fencing is quite affordable, albeit twice as high as, for example, than pine products. But this difference decreases, if the larch fence is not covered with anything and remains of a natural color.

The nuances of manufacturing and finishing

The size of the terrace and the combination of wood with glass is quite impressive!

Usually wooden products intended for use in open areas are made on woodworking machines and assembled according to the principle of "street" gluing with the help of D4 + glue. This also applies to terraced fences.

Here it is very important that the wood is pre-processed and polished with high quality. In this case, you can safely take up the fence without fear of picking up a splinter.

An equally important stage is the finishing of the surface with special protective compounds, varnishes and paints. The purpose of such funds, as a rule, is to protect the surface of the tree from external factors.

As for special compositions, they can be very different, but almost all form a protective film on the surface of the product, which protects them from moisture, decay, the effects of temperature drops and mechanical effects.

Interesting forms of filling elements and color design of the whole structure.

Applying a varnish or paint in most cases is carried out by the spray gun on the territory of the manufacturer of the product. Then the wooden fence for the terrace is delivered to the customer, cosmetic tint occurs.

Today, there are two standard types of varnish:

• water based acrylic;
• alkyd-urethane on the solvent.

It must be said, both are ideal for covering terraced fences. Of course, they have their pros and cons, but in this article we will not go into such details.

Pay attention to the bend - an extraordinary, but concise approach.

Tip! If you want to look in advance at the product you ordered, you can ask the manufacturer to create a design project. So you can see and explain what does not suit you in the fence. After coordination with you, its production will begin.

Decorative fence for the WPC terraces

Brand new and unique material for fencing off the backyard areas - wood-polymer composite (WPC)! What is he like? In short, fencing for WPC terraces is a profile integrated system made from wood-polymer composite by extrusion.

Profiles or, as they are called, modules

The process of extrusion itself is not very complicated: individual components are loaded into a special apparatus (chips, sawdust, bioplastics, organic dyes, chemical additives, etc.). Then it all mixes up, heats up to a certain temperature and goes to the formulating extruder.

The result is a plastic mass, from which they make profiles for future fencing. It should be noted, the profiles are perfectly smooth, even, without knots and other defects.

Note! In order to supplement the profiles of the WPC with special strength and aesthetics, they are applied a thin layer of PVC.

Brighter and more interesting variant of the terrace design

Composite terraced fencing is something new for Russian citizens, but all that is needed is to familiarize themselves with a number of their advantages and doubts about the choice no longer arise:

• The modular design of terraced composite fencing opens up a wide scope for fantasy! You can combine different profiles with your own hands, creating a unique product. In addition, there is an instruction for this, which will greatly facilitate the process.

• The wood-polymer composite is a chemically inert material, that is, it does not release into the environment any harmful substances, and therefore is environmentally friendly and safe.

In the photo you can observe the harmonious combination of the two materials: WPC and metal rods.

• Alas, the terraced fencing of wood, as if they were not processed, can not boast of durability. Over time, the tree begins to deform and rot.

But WPC due to a balanced mixture of wood and plastic is not afraid of time. Thus, all the noble aesthetic properties of the tree are preserved, and durability is enhanced. On such a fence you will never see mold or rot.

• With the WPC, you can forget about the annual cost of maintaining a terrace fence (cleaning, repair, polishing, painting). No cracks, no chips, no splinters, no burnout in the sun, no destructive effects of moisture! In other words, no headache.

Modestly but cozy

• Many color solutions allow you to come up with truly colorful and extraordinary combinations. In addition, wood-polymer composite can imitate wood and stone. This makes it possible to build impressive-looking but lightweight fences that do not require a solid foundation.

• But the most unique thing is that due to the special manufacturing technology, fencing can be either straight, curved or curved.

Words here will be superfluous!

• Affordable price makes this type of decorative fences accessible to all.

As you can see, composite fences are a reasonable alternative to natural materials when decorating the backyard territory.

Conclusion

A well-equipped house zone is perhaps the most important condition on the way to creating a truly comfortable plot (See also the article Beautiful fences are a worthy setting for your home). If you are by nature a connoisseur of natural paints and textures, then wooden terraced fences are preferable for you. Composite fences are more suitable for mobile people.
