A fence made of bricks with their hands

most thorough and capital are brick fences.In combination with metal bars and gates, they create an impression of the social status of the owner.In some samples captured the entire flight imagination of designers.You can not pass by such fences do not admire them.Other constructions are more simple, but no less reliable and quality.

Species bricks and fences from it

Brick is one of the oldest building materials in the world.The technology of its production has been known since time immemorial.In Egypt, found the brick buildings dating back more than 5,000 years.Modern brick is very different from the old.He has a smooth face and ribs.Dyes are added to the solution, allow to create products in various colors, has a positive effect on the demand for this material.It is known 4 main types of bricks:

• adobe bricks are made of special clay with filler.
• Ceramic made from baked clay at a high temperature.
• silicate bricks contain the usual sand and lime.
• Hyperpressed obtained by pressing with the addition of limestone cement and water.

on the quality and scope of brick is divided into masonry and facing.The first is used for the construction of walls and partitions.He subsequently be subject to the finish, so it does not have a flat and smooth surface.Facing brick itself is a finishing material and is used for decoration of facades of buildings, erection of columns and fences.The human imagination is capable to realize any ideas into finished creations, so the diversity of today, constructed of brick fences are no limits.However, they can be divided by only a few major types:

• combined fences made of bricks, metal and bent sheet metal.
• Lattice fence with brick columns.
• Fences made of corrugated board with the columns of bricks.
• Fully brick fences.

most popular in the presence of sufficient material means are combined fences made of bricks, metal and bent sheet metal.Luxury brick columns topped with small architectural forms, interconnected forged bars with patterns.Behind it can be closed steel sheet coated with a hammer paint, creating the effect of antiquity and reliability.

Lattice fence with brick columns do not look less attractive than the previous ones.This type of fence is not intended to hide the space for it, but rather puts on display the interior courtyard.Vintage design forged gratings in conjunction with the original masonry, it allows you to create unique patterns of fences, behind which extend the space with a landscape design.

simplest fence with brick is a fence of corrugated.It's quite a budget option as it does not require the use of expensive forged products.Brick columns are connected by metal prozhiliny of shaped tube, which are fixed corrugated sheets.It looks a fence quite attractive, though, and does not require significant capital investments.In addition, it is a permanent structure, as well as all buildings of brick.

Finally, completely brick fences.It really is monumental structures that enclose the mansions of wealthy citizens.They are called to play not only a decorative function, with which they manage perfectly well, but also protective.Most of these have the greater height fences up to 3 - 4 m. They can be a solid wall of masonry, but can also be barred.In this case, the bricklaying is done in such a way that gaps remain through.

Separately need to say about the poster.They also come in different types.The simplest option - it is a column with a clutch 4 bricks without relief niches.Laying can be done in 6 or more bricks.The surface of the column can have different niches and porticos.Sometimes you can even find the round brick columns.On top of the columns is most wiring, which is mounted on the visor of metal, concrete or ceramic.There are differences and the type of the outer surface of the brick.Most often, it is smooth, but may have an embossed texture.The most expensive models resemble ruptured natural stone.

To create a fence that resembles a work of art requires the work of any one master: the mason, blacksmith, welder.It is much easier and cheaper to do an ordinary fence, consisting of brick columns and spans of corrugated board between them.This type of fence made of brick is quite possible to make your own hands.

Step by step guide fence constructions of brick and corrugated

consider the option of building a fence budget and calculate the estimated demand for the materials to him.To carry out the whole complex of construction works, we need the following materials:

• bricks, ceramic or silicate to choose from.To create original designs take two color options: brown and pink.For reference, in accordance with Russian standards size bricks are divided into single (250h120h65 mm), one and a half (250h120h88 mm) and double (250h120h140 mm).Working, the largest surface is called a bed, high side - the stretcher, and the smallest end - prod.
• cement, gravel, fine sand, water and reinforcement diameter of 10 mm.This kit is required for the construction of the foundation.
• round or square steel bars.Can second-hand.It is best suited for this purpose the casing, which are used in wells.They have slightly thicker walls and corrode.fit tube with a diameter of 75 mm for simple columns and for the pillars, which are hinged gates, better to take the tube at 100 - 120 mm.The length of the pipe depends on the height of the columns.Most often it is not more than 3 m in view of penetration into the ground.
• Profile steel tube of square or rectangular cross-section.Its size can not exceed 40h25 mm.Need for the construction prozhiliny.The standard length of a tube of 6 m. Therefore, when choosing the distance between the posts should take this into account, in order to avoid overspending of the material.At the height of the fence up to 1.6 m, will be sufficient for two prozhiliny overflight.If the fence above the take three.
• sheeting must be ordered in the same color, so that it was in harmony with the coloring of the purchased bricks.For brick columns warm colors fit most.For normal use of fences profiled fence that has a reduced thickness and profile height than roofing.The standard width of 1200 mm sheets, so for the construction of 3-meter spans the sheets have to be cut along the waves.
• Visors for bars of metal, painted in the same color as the decking.Their size must match the size of the columns.Finishing strip for corrugated board.They will cover the top sheet.
• drips on the base needed to prevent the gradual destruction of the masonry at the base and the foundation under the action of freezing and thawing cycles of water.Electrodes for the welding machine.Roofing Screws required color with rubber washers.

From the tool we need: Shovel and bayonet for digging trenches, a special hammer, used by masons, rubber mallet, a metal rod section 8 - 10 mm for filling of joints between the bricks, trowel, concrete mixer if possible, long rope, liquid andnormal levels of construction, screwdriver or drill, a Bulgarian with a disk for cutting stone.

Construction of the foundation for a brick fence

The easiest solution is to build a pier foundation under each pillar.However, these fences look very simple and cheap and are suitable, perhaps, for the protection of the site from the back side.Since it is recommended to use a belt solid foundation side of the front facade of the house.He will perform masonry plinth of the fence in several rows, which will increase its attractiveness.Sheets of corrugated board on it will play now only a decorative function, and the fence can rightfully be called a brick.

Suppose that we need a brick fence 25 m. To material consumption was the best, we need to arrange the columns by 3 m on axes.At the same time, in one of the bays is required to arrange for the arrival gate to the courtyard of transport.They will order the latest ready-made of sheet steel.We should get a fence, similar to that shown in the figure below.

Mark up the perimeter of the foundation with the help of ropes.It may be recessed at 30 - 40 cm, depending on the depth of occurrence of the solid soil.Above ground it is sufficient to raise by 10 cm. Its width will be 15 cm between the pillars.In places where there will be bars, make pad 60x60 cm. Such areas will be 8 on the number of columns.Accordingly flown to 7. One sminusuem, since it is not needed at the site of the gate.

Thus the volume of the foundation will be the sum of the volume of sites and spans.Venues obtained 8 * 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.5 = 1.44 m3, and spans 7 * 3 * 0.15 * 0.5 = 0.5 m3.Summing these numbers, we find that we need about 2 m3 of concrete.Armature we need not less than 100 m. The process of pouring the foundation will not describe, because it is no different from the standard.The only thing to do is to install the steel pipe in places where there are bars.To do this, they drive a hammer into the ground and put vertically.Later, during the solidification of concrete is necessary to make sure that they are not tilted.We should get a monolithic tape with 8 pads under the posts, with protruding from their pipes.

Brickwork and installation of corrugated

most difficult process is the masonry.First, lay out part of the first column.This can be done in various ways.We will choose the simplest version 1.5 of bricks.This means that we will need for every row of 4 bricks.

first row should be laid, as shown in the figure, leaving seams less than 1 cm. They are aligned with the tool made of a square rod.The second row of the first lap we do, shifting pattern 90 degrees.After a few rows, begin to spread to the base of the column of the first row of the next level should be identical to the first row of columns.The thickness of the cap is equal to the width of the bricks.Usually base do 2 - 3 bricks, but you can pick it up at any number.We will do calculations on the need for brick 3 rows cap.

Having laying all the columns to the level cap, you can further continue to lay the pillars one by one to the top.In the process of masonry cavity inside the column is filled with a solution.In two places to each pipe is welded prozhiliny fence.They should all be at the same level.To skip them through the laying grinders used for cutting bricks.grouting joints produced very carefully, observing the size and depth of the grooves.At the base is attached on top of the tide.In the end should turn out the skeleton of the future of the fence.In each column is attached visor.On prozhiliny screws to fasten each wave corrugated sheets.

If the height of our fence will be 2 m, and the base will be done in a number of 3, then count the number of bricks in two ways: through the ranks and by volume.The first method is more accurate, but also more unwieldy, so we use the second.The volume of the column is equal to 2 * 0.37 * 0.37 = 0.27 m3.Multiplying the number of columns, we get 2.2 m3.On the base will take 18 * 0.12 * 0.065 * 3 = 0.4 m3.Total we have 2.6 m3 of bricks.Since this calculation is not very accurate and does not account for the thickness of the seams, it is necessary to acquire more than 10%.Excess can always return to the store, but it is to purchase a brick can not be obtained.Calculate the amount of corrugated board is easy.It suffices to divide 18 m by 1.2 m. We obtain 18 sheets.Buy will need 19, as they are placed overlapping, but still have to be cut.

As you can see, the construction of a brick fence, even with spans of corrugated board, requires significant time, labor and cost.However, it's worth it.This fence will stand for decades.
