What are the differences between the picket fence and checkerboard

Fence - a fence, a time-tested and even entire epochs.You agree that each of us lives elderly relatives in the village.And what does his guard station?Right, fence!This modern home cottages obstructed unassailable three-meter fence, and the common people living openly and wooden fence viewed not exchange for anything.

advantages of this sampling are obvious - with proper care it firmly holds the inaccessibility of the site for many years and decades, in contrast to metal fencing, for example, made of corrugated board.

Watching the neighboring areas, I can say that the vandal-proof properties of corrugated fences are completely absent: one neighbor after a five-year term began to paint a fence of corrugated, and the appearance of it, as you guessed, much spoil;the second neighbor, having a site on the corner of the street, has twice changed its separate sections of the fence because of the appearance of dents on them by foreign cars and scratches left by strolling past the lads.

How do checkerboard fence with their hands

For example, take a horizontal checkerboard.But keep in mind that as the outer fence the horizontal option is not very suitable because it is easy to overcome, ieclimb the "ladder", created by the horizontally arranged boards.But for zoning or boundary between two areas it will fit perfectly.Let's get started.

begin with marking territory, having leveled the ground under the fence and outlining the future placement of the vertical columns.As the columns can be used as a metal tube or a profile, and wooden beams.On the marked locations dig a pit depth of about 0.5m, install pipes clear in the level and concreting.It should be noted that the standard section (span) has a length of 2 m, but for the stability of the fence in the middle set up another column, around which will "weave" of the board.

Then each board fastened to the post with nails or screws.Keep in mind that the board should be located in a checkerboard pattern: if the first board is fixed on the inner side of the fence, then attach the second from the outside, etc.

That's all, our fence chess ready, it remains to handle special impregnation and paint.
