Building a reliable fence evroshtaketnika hands - step by step instructions

Knowing all the "truthfulness" of any advertising, we have long had a negative attitude to such a variety of "agitation".But what concerns the merits of metal picket (also called "evroshtaketnikom"), in many respects quite rightly and justly.Before you understand the nuances of the construction of the fence in this product, you need to understand what it is.

Consider the main types of "evroshtaketnika", which is used for the erection of fences:

As technology

• Cutting corrugated sheets (read about the fence of this material).
• Individual manufacturing samples by rolling on the mill.

At the end part of

• Clipped.
• seamed (rounded).

on protective coloration

• -sided.Bilateral
• .

By Material

• «Galvanizing."
• Copper (the cost is very high).

While this information directly to the article do not apply the theme, but now will become more apparent features self erecting a fence of metal picket.

Selection of materials

course, that it primarily will focus on the piers (pillars).Given the aesthetic appeal "evroshtaketnika", it is advisable to stop the choice on metal workpieces.What to use?Most often, the owners of plots acquired pillars shaped tube (square section) or screw piles.

The latter option is more convenient, eliminating the need to perform a significant amount of earthworks, which, incidentally, is not always possible.For example, in the already landscaped area, in addition to the grounds, covered with asphalt or tiles (the situation may be different).And the total cost of the fence will be cheaper because they do not need building materials (cement, gravel, CBC) for concreting of underground parts of the supports.

Operation

marking territory

As a rule, the distance between the poles is chosen depending on their height and the overall presentation of the site.The recommended interval between them -. About 1.8 m An increase there is a risk that the fence will "play".

Installation

supports rather simple work - pile screwed into the ground.If a pipe is used, the holes are dug and then filled up the support supplied by the solid fraction (crushed stone, brick or concrete fighting), the whole mass of compacted and filled with cement mortar.For doors and gates is expedient to establish "their own" personal posts.When using

tube lower end is desirable to weld the metal plate.It will help to more firmly lock the support in the ground.

addition, it is necessary to think about how to seal the upper ends of the pillars, otherwise they will start to collect water.Options - weld metal mugs, set of plastic "cap".

Fixing guides

Main - two;one on top of the other at the bottom (horizontal).If the fence is high enough, then the center is to build, and a third metal strip.It will act as stiffening ribs, since the metal fence itself has a relatively small thickness and is deformed by mechanical effects.

rails are welded to the supports, so they are pre-aligned on the level or leveled.Another question - how high to place them?Typically, the lower is fixed about half a meter from the ground, and the top - 25 cm below the top of the fence section.Although this is only an example, and the wizard makes installation, in accordance with the specifics of the work.

Before the start of this stage should be to partition the guide and drill the holes for fixing the fence slats.

frame painting

Given that the fence is located in the open air, it is better to use a paint formulations acrylic base.Previously all "iron," degreased and treated with primer.This ensures that the paint will fall flat and will stay for a long time.

Installation shtaketin

They are fixed with screws.Given their number, it is advisable to work screwdriver.How to spread the strips around the perimeter, the master decides for himself.But here it is necessary to take into account the height of the fence, and that is located behind it.If the beds, the gap between the shtaketinami desirable to do more (cost about 1150 rubles / mp.).This further increases the illumination surrounding area.Installation "dull" the fence will require more metal straps, fastening elements and lead to an increase in the cost of construction (up to 1 900 rubles / mp.).Therefore, we must choose the best option based on site specific.

Canopy doors and gates

How to do this depends on the design.Fixing loops or bolted or welded.

If done carefully, such a fence does not require even the decoration of 25 years, at least.

Useful tips

• If you allow the financial capabilities, it makes sense to buy ready-made frames (logs + support).Fixing all the elements produced by bolts.
• To avoid damage to the protective layer in the bars with screws fixing shtaketin under head of fastener elements need to lay a plastic ring (gasket).And metiz taken only galvanized.
