    scheme of brick fence

Bricks will be put on the grout.With its preparation can be handled by yourself: mix the cement portion of the three portions of sand and add water to produce a viscous plastic mass.Optionally add in a mixture of plasticizer - it will prolong the life of masonry.If the budget allows, instead of a self-made solution, you can use a special ready-mixed masonry - it's faster and more convenient.

Selection and sizing brick

Fence can be spread from different kinds of bricks.

Each option has its own characteristics, namely:

• red bricks need to be plastered after the laying.Often, however, the red brick fences are plastered on the designer's plan holders;
• facing bricks to simulate a variety of materials and does not need finishing;
• frost brick fence will provide the highest quality with an increased service life.

Choose type of brick, focusing on their preferences and budget.

Calculate the right amount of construction material is very simple, but it needs to know the total area of ​​the future of the fence.Dependence of the following: the masonry walls in one brick for the construction of 1 m2 of wall out of 100 building elements, with double clutch - about 200 pieces.

Design Guidelines

Before the construction is necessary to determine the desired height and thickness of the fence.If the fence is being built exclusively for decorative purposes, it can be constructed in a half-brick, placing elements along the long edge of the fence.When building in a brick, the product can be spread across the long side of the fence.

If the fence will serve a protective role, it is better to build 1.5-2 brick.The height of the structure, choose yourself.It can vary within a fairly wide range - from 50 cm to 3.5 m or more.

Name	Average density, kg / m3	Porosity,%	Brand frost	Brand strength	Color
Brick full	1600-1900	9	15-50	75-300	red
Brick pusotely	1000-1450	6-8	15-50	75-300	from light brown to dark red
hollow brick "ultra-efficient"	1100-1150	6-10	15-50	50-150	reds
bricks	1300-1450	6-14	27-75	75-250	from white to brown
bricks glazed or engobed	1300-1450	6-14	27-75	75-250	any

tofence was finished more stable and rigid, it is not being built solid masonry, but in the form of pillars with a wall between them.Typically poles laid out with 2.5-6 meter increments, in accordance with the selected wall thickness and height.Additional brick pillars necessarily laid in the ground arrangement of doors and gates.

Decide with all the above moments and prepare a drawing of the fence indicating the exact dimensions of each structural element.Plans will allow you to most accurately calculate the necessary amount of material and better focus in the performance of the masonry.

Layout area

Getting marking the foundation.To do this, use a tape measure, rods and rope.

Trying to drive the pegs in the corners and along the walls of the trench next to step up to 1 m. In the rods stretch the rope.At this stage we mark the spot arrangement of pillars, gates and gates.

carefully calibrate all angles - they should be strictly straight.To check this option, use the square.It is important to correct all the deficiencies found in the layout stage, sinceto do so in the future will be much more difficult.

Making foundation

Getting to the arrangement of the foundation.

first step. Roy trench.We stand a width of 60-70 mm wider future masonry.In depth make at least 80-100 cm - masonry will weigh quite a lot, so it's better to be safe.The walls and bottom of the pit is leveled.

second step .Fall asleep trench bottom 10-cm layer of sand.Thoroughly rammed a pillow.Sand will perform drainage function and a shock absorber during seasonal shifting of the soil.

third step. Install formwork.Arrange the boards so that the upper face of the base after the concrete pouring was perfectly flat.

fourth step. Armiruem foundation.For this steel bars connect with a wire mesh in size foundation.We put a grid on the finished compacted sand cushion.

fifth step. Fill the trench with concrete.The solution is to buy or prepare a portion of cement, gravel 4-5 servings 2-3 servings of sand and water.Fill surface carefully align and pierce in several places fittings to remove excess air.Pouring give 3-4 weeks for curing.Formwork can be disassembled after at least 10 days after casting.In the heat of the concrete shed water to prevent it from cracking.

masonry fence

Before laying the bricks dip in the water for about a minute.With this water-filled pores of the material, and it will not pick up moisture from the solution.

Pre sheltering solidified the foundation waterproofing material.Suitable roofing material or folded several times a dense polyethylene.

to the fence was the most durable and reliable, we will build a single-piece construction, directly across the planned length.The technology exists, according to which first laid the pillars on all height, and then the piers, but they will not be considered.

sequence masonry fence

first step. Forming columns.For this spread perimeter future pillars of bricks 4, leaving a space between them.Empty space in the future fill valve and fill with concrete.First, lay out the columns to a height of 3 bricks.

second step. spread the piers between the posts at the same height.

third step. Bind columns to span.To do this, at the same time on the flight, and laid on the column segments fittings.As a result, both sides of the pillar on the piers should go for 2 steel rod.

fourth step. Raise the clutch to a height of three more bricks in the same way.Again armiruem.Next masonry pillars and piers will be lead together.

We work in the same manner to the desired height: put three rows armiruem again three rows back reinforcement, etc.

recommendations on registration

joints to brickwork was not just quality, but also beautiful, the joints between the bricksshould be the same.This is done very simply:

• additionally buy a round metal rod;
• laid it on top of lined rows of masonry - rod on each long side of the brick.

diameter of the rod is selected according to the desired seam thickness.It is not recommended to do the seams thicker than 6 mm.

rods can be fixed over the entire length by means of a cement slurry to facilitate the task.After laying the bricks of the fourth series of the lowest bar is removed and used in the next row.

At the end will only protect the masonry from rain and meltwater.We do this with the help of ebbs and caps made of sheet metal.We put caps on the poles and low tides attached to the wall section.To fix the said products use dowels.

Plasterer fence

first step. Moisturizing wall.

second step. Apply a layer of plaster thickness of 1.5 cm.

third step. Give applying the solution to dry for an hour.

fourth step. screed plaster lath with sharp edges.We reserve the finish to dry for two days.Periodically damp plaster with water, so that it is not cracked.

fifth step. Two days later again damp plaster with water and float a special treat it.

you are familiar with the proven and most effective way of erecting a brick fence.Follow the recommendations received, and all the necessary work.

Successful work!
