The cheapest fence - what materials to focus on in choosing

A fence from a chain-link mesh is a good option for both the garden and the suburban area.

Cottage is a cherished dream for many people. This is fresh air, and the opportunity to relax on hot summer days, trying yourself as a gardener or gardener. But today, the acquisition of a country house is not cheap, but because of this, newly-born summer residents seek reasonable savings.

And one of the most obvious examples of savings is the ability to purchase the cheapest option of the fence. At the same time, any owner wants such a fence to be strong, durable and attractive. Is it possible, find out in this article.

Cheapest options for modern fences

Whatever material you are guided by when choosing, you should understand two basic rules:

1. The size of the fence. The higher your walled, the more, respectively, will be its price. In addition, a solid fence is usually more expensive picket fence, because in the first case there is a greater consumption of material.
2. Installation option. Structures fastened to dug support columns will cost less than those for which a solid strip foundation is required. In general, the lighter the design, the lower its price.

Material selection

Wooden fence on metal supports.

Now let's see what the cheapest fence, based on the material of manufacture. In this case, several options are offered to your attention:

Tree

This natural material is an inexpensive, flexible and quite reliable option. In addition, it is eco-friendly and great for a country house, emphasizing its style.

Many different hedges can be made of wood, the most popular of which are:

• Shelf. The classic type of fence and one of the most economical types of wooden fence. Despite the simplicity of the design, such a fence can be very original, using curly and carved elements.
• Ranch. It is carried out from not cut board and wooden bars, horizontally fixed on columns.
• Scourge (pictured below). This is perhaps the cheapest fences, since they are made of intertwined rods. Despite the apparent simplicity, such hedges can use a variety of weaving, which allows you to create truly original products.

Wattle is a symbol of folk style.

• The grate fence. It can be made from wooden slats, as well as from uncooked poles, which makes it possible to cheapen the fence a little.

Tip! Any type of wooden fence must necessarily provide for the processing of wood with special compounds that protect it from moisture and pests.

Grid

This is the cheapest material that is widely used as garden fencing.

The most common types of mesh fences are:

• Rabitz. The fence from a grid of the chain-link happens both galvanized, and with a polymeric covering.

The chain-link happens two options:

1. Stretchwhen the network is sold in rolls of 20 meters and secured to the supports by stretching manually or using a special machine.
2. Sequential, that is, welded to a metal frame, the size of 1.5 by 2.5 meters. Sectional fence from the netting of the chain-link is more expensive, but also more durable, and also a beautiful option (and how to make a fence from the netting of the chain-link, read other articles on our site).

• Corrugated network. It is made from pre-curved wire that is perpendicularly interlaced. Such a fence is stronger and cheaper than a chain-link because it allows you to install poles at a distance of 4-5 meters instead of the standard 2.5 meters.

• Welded mesh. Practical and quite attractive option which is unpretentious in operation, reliable and durable. Welded construction is more expensive than a chain-link, but much cheaper than capital fencing.

Profulist

Cheap professional sheet for the fence is also a good option for fencing. Many designers consider its only serious drawback to be an unattractive appearance, but with the right approach this problem can be solved (for example, when combined with a brick or stone).

Since decking is less common than wood and mesh structures, you should know a few important facts about this material:

• The step between supports should not exceed 2.5 meters, ideally, it is necessary to observe the half meter distance between the pillars. The fact is that if you install the supports at a distance of 3 meters, then the canvas may eventually lose its original appearance under the influence of the force of the wind.

Tip! For a fence use a professional flooring 0,5 mm thick. It is slightly more expensive than a standard sheet, which is 0.4 mm thick, but unlike it will not be covered with dents and will not lose shape over time.

• Dig pipe-supports not less than 1.5 meters into the ground. They must be concreted, as the profiled sheet is a rather heavy material.

Cheap decking for the fence looks great in combination with brick.

• The ideal post choice would be trumpet diameter 60-80 mm and a wall thickness of about 2 mm.

Tip! Choose a material with a double-sided polymer coating. Galvanized flooring in a couple of years will be covered with spots, having lost its original luster, and will begin to undergo corrosion.

A few tips for installing fences

Above, we told you how to build a cheap fence. Now let's talk about how to build a quality fence with your own hands, avoiding common mistakes.

A simple instruction will help you during the installation process:

1. The supporting structure must be strong enough to support the weight of the web. In this case we are talking about fairly light hedges, for which a strip foundation is not required. And yet, each pillar must be concreted:

• Dig a hole of the desired depth (at least 70 cm for even the lightest construction).
• Install the pipe.
• Empty the free space with rubble or fragments of bricks, ensuring that the pipe is firmly in the pit.
• Fill the rubble with a solution of cement.

1. The step of support should not be done more than 2.5 meters, regardless of how strong is the canvas that you have chosen.
2. Before you begin the installation, read the articles on our website and watch the video materials on the construction of your chosen structure. So you can avoid the most annoying and most common mistakes.

Conclusion

As you can see, at the moment there are several types of cheap fences. The most budgetary option are mesh fences, but because of their transparency, they are far from acceptable in all variants.

Fences of corrugated and wood have about the same cost, so here you have to choose, guided by personal preferences.
