Fences made of corrugated board with their own hands

There are many ways to build a fence around his home, cut off in this way from the outside world. Each of them involves the use of different materials and, as a result of distinct technologies.They all have their advantages and disadvantages, but the bottom line is reduced to one - to create their own individual little world inside a huge civilization.The most popular material for fences today is shaped sheet.That it allows to make a fence of corrugated board with your own hands quickly and without any problems.On it will be discussed in our article.

Benefits fence of corrugated

Selecting the majority of people in favor of the profiled sheets is caused by a lot of advantages of this material.Initially designed for the roofs of the roof, it has found its application in the construction of fences.And all thanks to such factors:

• Fortitude virtually all weather conditions.Thin sheet steel, bent in a special way, covered with several layers of paint and protective polymers equally well able to withstand snow, rain, wind and even hail.
• Lightness material.very easily be controlled by one person with overall corrugated sheets - that's why decking for the fences is an ideal material.
• ease of handling.Cut it with the same success as simple as using hand shears for metal, and through the grinder or electric scissors.Preference is better to give an electric or manual shears - they are less likely injure sheeting sheeting.
• easy installation.Installing a fence of corrugated board, unlike other materials, is very fast.But the most important thing - in this case, you can do without outside help.

Disadvantages fence of corrugated

fence profiled sheets is not without flaws, and - unfortunately, the ideal in this world there is nothing.

Firstly, the construction of a fence of corrugated board requires the creation of a metal frame.Even black metal at the present time is expensive.And he will need for the device is not only supporting pillars, but also frames, framing profiled, and even bridges between the pillars, which runs directly mount panels of corrugated sheet.

Second, no matter how strong and resistant to mechanical damage may seem fence of corrugated, its protective coating is very easily scratched.But this nuance adds unnecessary trouble in the operation of the fence - to deep scratches not to cause corrosion of the metal sheet, they must be periodically handle protective agents, the role of which can act as a paint and special pasta.Second preferable since the paste just scratch eliminate - the area around it, in contrast to paint, they do not spoil.

Third, it is its cost - a palisade of wooden slats costs much less.The cost of a fence of corrugated board is composed not only of the cost of the trapezoidal sheet - also need to be considered and expensive metal mass, without which it simply can not do.But work on the installation of fences are relatively small - it is this factor is conditioned by its low cost compared with many other similar structures.

And, fourthly, it is the lack of variety of colors sheeting.As a rule, it is only available in several colors: red, brown, white, green and blue.To satisfy the demand of many people, they can not.Therefore, to create a truly beautiful fence of corrugated board to testify or private homes, many people resort to combining it with other materials - for example, with red brick or natural stone.

How to make a fence of corrugated board with his hands

Construction of the fence begins with the foundation - that it could withstand strong gusts of wind, its base stand must have a reliable support.The foundation for a fence of corrugated board is a simple structure.First, dig the hole for the supporting pillars - even if these pillars are made of bricks, holes for them is still needed.Then the pit trench connected - no need to dig deep ditches, will be enough to go deep into the ground just centimeters 30-40.

The resulting trenches and pits laid reinforcing cage and, if necessary, set the pillars of metal pipes.After this exhibition formwork so that it rose above the earth in the twenty centimeters, and poured concrete.Particular attention in this regard should be paid to the level of vertical columns and horizontal installation position of the formwork.Poles for the fence of corrugated board should be exactly on the same line - without that fence just does not turn out beautiful.

The next step is the construction of the fence will need welding - metal corner of the size 10h10mm need to collect the frame and fix them within the profiled sheets.For this reason, even before the start of construction is necessary to perform the correct calculation of the fence of corrugated board - the distance between the support pillars is very important and must conform to the dimensions of manufactured frames.

Speaking of the framework - during the manufacturing process is necessary to strictly maintain the diagonal.In addition to the corner, located on the perimeter of the frame, is not superfluous to lay and stiffeners - they strengthen the structure of boards and make them stronger, but at the same time will save you from a rattling sound, typical for most constructions of sheet materials.Around the perimeter of the frame, as well as all the ribs, the profiled sheet must be secured with screws or rivets, setting them in increments of 15-20cm.

When the panels are ready, we can only fix them securely between the support pillars.For this purpose all the same welding is used.By the way, at this stage you can also do without assistants.To sustain the same gap between the concrete base and shields of corrugated board, on the foundation can be laid the same thickness, wooden slats.And that during the welding do not hold hands shields to the posts they can attach clamps.It's a bit longer, but you will be able to install the shield with Bent perfectly straight.Once the panels are installed, they can be permanently fixed to the posts by means of welding.

When it comes to the combination of materials for the fence, then to brick or concrete pillars panels of corrugated mounted substantially similar, only that in the end of the brick pillars will need to score three pins - top, bottom andmiddle.

That's it, now you know how to make the fence of corrugated hands.Armed with this knowledge and the necessary tools, you can safely get to work.
