A fence made of polycarbonate with their hands

The fenced plot?Brick, stone, wood, mesh and many other materials - there are plenty to choose from.At the same time regularly on the market there are new, exciting and technologically advanced solutions.For example, today, developers are increasingly opting for the fences made of polycarbonate.

This material has excellent characteristics and performance properties.An additional advantage of polycarbonate is the lack of need for its finishing.Material sold in a variety of colors, allowing you to pick up the original lists, fits perfectly into the surrounding picture.

To erect such a barrier may be on their own, even without having the skills for such activities.We just need to be able to handle the type of shovel, level elementary tools, drills, etc.

General technology of erection of fence

procedure for erecting fences, polycarbonate is extremely simple.It looks as follows:

• performed markup;
• prepared recess for installation of supports;
• racks are installed in the holes and concreted;
• attached to supports cross-frame members;
• polycarbonate is cut if necessary and fastened to the frame.
  

  Polycarbonate

Before starting work, paying due attention to the choice of directly polycarbonate, as well as materials for arrangement of struts and the frame.

Choosing material

With its many distinct advantages of polycarbonate has a very big disadvantage - the high cost.Therefore, before you go to a specialty store for the purchase of material for the fence, we perform the most accurate calculation.For this we are measuring the perimeter of our site and determine the required length of the fence.

Then choose the optimal leaf thickness.Fence is best to build from thick sheets.Thus, the cell polymer is perfect for suburban fences.It is characterized by a maximum thickness, it has high strength and sound insulation, endures a variety of load and serves as long as possible.Fence for private homes do better in solid polycarbonate - it is more reliable.

Install support

vertical support we will be concreted.To fill professionals recommend using a mixture of grade not lower than the M200.Buy it or do yourself.

first step. perform marking territory.This will help us any firm pegs and strong cord.First, we find the starting point - the first corner of our fence.Arrange the remaining corners.In each of them trying to drive on a peg.Also exhibiting pegs around the perimeter fence of the future.We adhere to step 1-1.5 m. Separately, the installation location of intermediate supports.To drive benchmarks relate rope.

second step. Getting alignment and intermediate supports.Recommended spacing between the uprights - 3 m. The planned locations or dig wells drilled from a depth of 70-80 cm, covered them with the bottom layer of gravel (enough for 10-15 cm), process deepened portion of each support bituminous waterproofing materials, roofing material enveloping and set in a well.

third step. aligns each leg.We fix the rack stanchions (can be made of boards, bricks or other suitable material) and fill it with concrete wells.Props to leave the concrete is completely dry (up to 4 weeks).

Making frame

start making framework.To do this, we use a profiled metal tube or corner.Also quite suitable profile for fixing plasterboard.

frame has a very simple structure.For its production we do the following:

• mark up to the uprights point for mounting horizontal beams.We maintain the same pitch in the range of 60-100 cm;
• welds to the posts or else fasten them with screws;
• carefully we clean the welds, and after gruntuem and paint the metal parts exposed to corrosion.

frame ready.

Fasten polycarbonate

first step. Cut the sheet to the desired size canvases.Cutting good fit jigsaw.Set the canvas with medium teeth, designed to work with wood.

Important!The factory film leave on polycarbonate sheets to the completion of the work.It will protect the material from scratches and other damage.

second step. fits over the ends of the sheets of special caps with the letter P.

third step. Fasten sheathing to the frame with screws.

Important!To the material is not cracked during installation, pre-drilled mounting holes therein.The diameter of the holes should be 2-3 mm higher than the value of similar screw.The gap will be closed sealing nut.

fixation was performed with 30-40-centimeter increments.Screws are screwed not to the end.Otherwise, the polycarbonate may crack under thermal strains.Also, a small gap (3-5 mm) leave between sheets and other structural elements.The gaps can be further disguise using H-shaped brackets.

This procedure is sheathed polycarbonate full frame, do not forget to leave openings for doors, gates, etc..

fourth step. Remove the protective film and, if desired, supplement the material with any decorative elements to your liking.

Fence ready!Do not forget to take care of your fence.All care is reduced to wash polycarbonate as its pollution.

Successful work!
