started manufacturing bamboo fence in the first place, it is necessary to define the border area,on which you plan to install this fence.Also, the need to resolve the issue with the planned construction height.The distance between the posts of the fence should be 2 m. By choosing the length of the fence boards, be sure to focus on the terrain changes.Based on these parameters, it is necessary to calculate the required amount of materials.

Materials and tools

For making bamboo fence with their hands will need the following materials:

• wooden poles, cross-section of at least 100 x 100 mm;
• bamboo trunks of approximately the same cross-section;
• edged boards 30 x 100 mm;
• metal fasteners for installation of the fence panels to the posts;
• nails, screws (. Should pay attention that the screws will need different lengths, including large enough, according to the thickness of the bamboo shafts Screws should be of stainless steel);
• antiseptic and fire retardant for wood;
• bitumen mastic;
• waterproof varnish for outdoor use.

From the Tools needed:

• screwdriver;
• hand circular power saw;
• hacksaw, hammer;
• shovel to install the pillars;
• roulette, building level, a plumb;
• set of brushes.

Step by step instructions for installation of the fence of bamboo

1. Initially the need to install wooden pillars.The depth to which the pillars digged into the ground, must be greater than 10% of the depth of freezing.Before digging in the ground, the pillar part, which is in the ground, it is desirable to process the bitumen mastic (to protect from decay).The best option - to concrete pillars.When installing the poles need to make sure that they are in the upright position, which can be verified by using a spirit level or plumb.

2. Sticking poles and are confident in their sustainability, they should be attached with nails, metal fasteners (inserts) for the installation of the foundations of the fence boards.

3. By installing one of the pillars of the metal fixing element by means of the board and the level necessary to determine the location for the installation of the next item on a nearby pole.Similarly exhibited all subsequent pumping elements.

4. Board, which will serve as the basis for the shield in length, cut in place using a hacksaw.

5. The grooves fixing metal elements to insert racks horizontal boards - the future basis of the intake shield frame.Then, they must be attached with screws vertical planks.At the same time, it should be a step to calculate vertical boards to provide the best shield strength.The assembly board with wooden frame, it is desirable to perform, according to the photos shown on the website.

6. Having made the wooden frame for the future intake shield, it should be removed and put on the box for the subsequent fixing of bamboo trunks.In both horizontal frame boards need to tighten two screws, departing from their edges on each side of 4-5 cm. Screwed screws will serve as delimiters, excluding rolling bamboo trunks with the frame plane.

7. Bamboo trunks should be put firmly on the frame without gaps and attach with screws to the panel boards at the top and bottom.

8. Using improvised means, such as a wide board line, you must apply the cutoff line on the bamboo stems, focusing on the upper edge of the horizontalshield board.Then, using an electric circular saw, should be cut off the excess part of the bamboo stems.

9. Having measured using a tape measure the desired height of the fence, similar to the need to cut off the excess and bamboo shield bottom.

10. Ready fence panel should be attached to the place of the metal mortgage details with screws.After that, the junction with fasteners need to close the appropriate thickness bamboo trunks.

11. To protect against ingress of bamboo trunks precipitation, top fence must be closed edging board, Attached to the posts by means of screws.

12. All the wooden parts of the fence, as well as bamboo trunks, for their safety, must be treated with antiseptic and fire retardant primer.

13. In order to guarantee the fence served as a long time without losing the beautiful appearance, it is desirable to cover the moisture-resistant varnish.
