Types of fences for country houses - their features and

Wooden fence is a cheap, beautiful and reliable fence for your summer cottage.

It's no secret that even the highest fence is not such a serious barrier to thieves. Therefore, the main functions performed by the fence at the dacha are the protection from the wind and the designation of the boundaries of the territory. Thus, you also protect your yard from the prying eyes of neighbors.

Each owner of a country house wants the fence to be durable, reliable, have an excellent appearance, and its price does not greatly shake the family budget. Nowadays there are many options for fences made of different materials, which differ in purpose, cost, size and appearance. Consider them in more detail.

Modern fence to give

Modern types of fences to give provide you with a truly impressive choice. Having a different shape, color, texture and size, such fences can be designed for garden plots or residential buildings, as well as for various protected objects.

The most popular types of fences

• Shelf. This "classic" type of fence does not go out of fashion today. The location of the slats can be both vertical and inclined. Modern shtaketniki can be both with gaps, and without them and be made of wood or plastic.

This type of fencing can be made by you with your own hands from boards or you can purchase a ready-made kit for assembly.

• Deaf fence. This simple, solid hedge construction can be decorated with drawings and ornaments. This barrier perfectly protects your site from the wind and curious people. Fences of this type can be made of various materials: wood, brick, stone, corrugated, plastic, etc.
• Wattle (wicker fence). Traditionally made of wood, but can also be plastic. Its simple but original design will decorate any yard.
• Sectional. The peculiarity of such a fence is the presence of ready-made sections, which in the process of installation you should only attach to the posts. Mounting options may be different, depending on the material. Such fences are made of plastic, mesh, wood, concrete panels.
• Forged. Such structures are often combined, for example, combining metal with brick or stone. In part, this type of fences can be attributed to sectional, but still, they have unique distinctive features.

• Reticulate.

Such a fence can be of two types:

1. Tension. For such a fence, the grid is used in rolls of 10–20 m each. During the erection process, the canvas is literally stretched onto the frame, fixing itself with screws, nails, wire, etc.
2. Section fence from a chain-link grid. It can be either from a chain-link mesh, or welded, the distinguishing feature of which is that in all places of contact the wire is welded by spot welding. Such design is stronger than the chain-link.

Material for modern fences

We considered the main types of fences for private houses. Now let's define the materials from which they are made. Depending on the material, each type of fence differs in appearance, cost, and installation instructions for brick and plastic structures are different.

• Tree. The most practical, eco-friendly and inexpensive material that is very flexible in work. All existing types of fences are made of wood, and wooden wattle can be a good analogue of the chain-link.

The disadvantages of such fences are poor tolerance to excessive moisture, susceptibility to corrosion and rotting.

Tip! If you decide to install a wooden fence, then be sure to treat it in addition to paint a special protective composition. It will protect the wood from moisture and pests.

• Brick. Exquisite and massive brick fences are the lot of those who want to emphasize the style of their estate. Such fences are often combined with wrought iron segments, wood, corrugated, etc. They require the installation of a very strong and reliable foundation, because otherwise the brick will quickly crack, and if it does not collapse, then the external appearance of the hedge will probably be damaged.

Tip! Remember that any brick pillar must have a metal core concreted into the foundation. Such a basis for the design can be a metal pipe or corner.

• Plastic fence. Despite the fact that such a fence is not very strong, it is very popular these days. Plastic has an excellent appearance, does not corrode, is not afraid of excessive moisture and does not require laying the foundation.

In addition, such fences perfectly imitate wood, stone and a number of other natural materials.

• Decking. Easy installation, high availability and long shelf life are the main advantages of this material. The disadvantage of profiled flooring is considered by many to be its unattractive facade. But with the right approach, this is not the case.

Such fences look simple, but stylish, besides, you can install them on a stone or brick base, which will give the design of the fence a certain sophistication and grandeur (as in the photo below).

In this case, you can plant braiding plants near the net, which will create a hedge effect (read also about the advantages of a slate fence).
