What are fences for cottages

Fence for the cottage - decorative stone, concrete, metal and plastic

Sometimes fences for cottages may be more attractive than the building itself, and this in no way detracts from the overall dignity of the estate. Anyway, it is impossible to do without fencing, even if it is symbolic - there will still be a psychological barrier for outsiders, and the neighboring animals will not walk around on your site.

Variety of fencing

Bottle railing

The variety of fences is so great that it may even be impossible to enumerate from memory, because fences can be made not only from building materials, but also promoted some know-how. But we will not consider exotic combinations, but pay attention to what our building materials stores have - this is quite enough for a good and beautiful fence of a country house.

Frame for fencing

Ways of mounting supports for the fence

1. The pillar is driven into the ground without additional fortifications;
2. The upper part of the pillar is filled with cement mortar, and the bottom - clogged in the ground;
3. Butt pillar is completely filled with cement mortar;
4. Butt pillar hammered or covered with rubble, followed by tamping.

• Pay attention to the scheme of installation of supports for the fence. - this principle of mounting supports you can apply to the fence of any material. Let's look at it in a little more detail and take into account all the advantages and disadvantages of this or that method.
• So, the first way is the easiest - metal profile or concrete column is hammered or buried directly in the ground, without additional fortifications. This is a quick method, but, alas, the most unreliable, since under load, melting snow and rain, the supports will be loosened and the design will skew. In addition, the metal profile in the ground will rust.
• The second method is good for concrete posts., but the butt of the metal profile, installed by yourself, will also kill corrosion, which will lead to a distortion of the structure. The most universal is the third method, where both the concrete column and the metal profile are poured with cement, and as a result a good support is obtained. But the fourth method is good only for concrete, because water will still fall on the buried profile and it will rot.

Brick posts for the framework of the fence

• Also widespread silicate or decorative brick supportsbut their foundation still remains concrete columns. Another common component for all types of fences are gates and wickets, and they can also be from any material. However, the video in this article will help you visually feel the variety of designs.

Mesh fencing

Mesh fence

• If you do not count the picket fence, the simplest fence for the cottage can be made from the fence mesh chain-link. Of course, we pay attention to the usual stretch between the pillars, as well as the sectional fence, which is transparent to the eyes and at the same time impassable for dogs and cats.

Regular stretch mesh netting

• With the usual stretching of the chain-link net, the roll is simply unwound between the posts and, so that it does not sag, a wire rod 6-8 mm in diameter is passed through the top and bottom. At each support it (wire) is tacked by welding to metal mortgages or brackets.

Mesh sections

• A similar grid installation occurs when it is enclosed in a section of a metal corner. Only in this case the corner is fastened to the support brackets, and the posts are arranged taking into account the width of the sections.

Fence of corrugated

• Installing corrugated board on the fence frame, perhaps even easier than a mesh chain-link - he is not confused and is screwed on the screws to the logs, which can be either wood or metal.

Fence of corrugated sections

• Sheeting is also possible to install as sections. (see photo above) - for this it is enough to enclose the sheet in a frame from a metal corner. Moreover, the shape of the section, as you see it, does not have to be rectangular - here you can apply fantasy.

Council As a log (lintel) for a frame for corrugated board, it is best to use a 40 × 20 mm rectangular profile, fixing it with a wide side parallel to the fence plane.

Plastic fence

PVC

• Such fences, above all, durable because PVC, from which they are made, can not be rotting or corrosion. Another advantage is the simplicity of assembling such a fence - you just need to dig in the columns at a certain distance from each other along one line and fix sections on them, as required by the instructions.
• Such fences can be up to 6m tall so you can order any size you need, moreover, by the color scheme, such designs have the ability to acquire all the values ​​of the RAL table, although they often prefer light colors.

Совет. Несмотря на то, что PVC не поддаётся коррозии и гниению, столбики лучше подсыпать щебнем или отходами стройматериалов с последующей трамбовкой. В противном случае, конструкцию через время перекосится.

Stone fencing

Kirpichea fence

• Looks very nice fences from a decorative brick, the principle of laying which is no different from the laying of ordinary walls. But the supports are mounted according to the scheme already known to us.

Decorative stone fence

• The most natural, and perhaps the most beautiful, is decorative stone fence. Moreover, its price among similar structures is by no means the highest. But such material suggests great opportunities for decoration.

Conclusion

Of course, we did not consider all the options for fencing, which are used in the Russian Federation, for example, we did not mention the concrete fence, which can not only in the form of slabs close to curious production facilities, but can also be subject to architecture. The same applies to metal structures made of cast iron and steel, but each of these objects requires separate attention (learn also how to make a fence from a chain-link net by yourself).
