Fence from metal

Mounting the fence of profiled sheeting is very simple, since there is not a lot of roughing work here, as in the case of a brick or untreated fence. The work is carried out in several stages in the following sequence:

  1. Marking under the foundation . Initially, you need to make a markup, according to which you will build a fence. After that it is necessary to excavate pits for foundation pouring.
  2. Decking . It is made of boards with an outlet above the ground of 20 cm. It is fixed inside the ditch, using crushed stone or gravel, but not the ground! The design must be installed correctly, as the errors can only be corrected before concrete work.
  3. Fittings and poles . For the fence, poles with a diameter of 6-8 cm will suit them. Their height, taking into account the underground part, should be at least 2-2.5 meters. The profile pipe is installed vertically and fixed with a mixture of crushed stone and chipped brick. After that, the foundation is poured with a mixture of sand, cement and concrete and it is left to solidify for 4-7 days.
  4. Fill with concrete . Pouring can be columnar type (at a distance of 2-5 meters digging pits, which are then inserted poles) and tape (the foundation encircles the yard along the perimeter). The latter species is the most common.
  5. Installation of metal profile . Before mounting the sheets on poles, it is necessary to install profile rails. This is done by welding or screwing. After installing the rails, all metal elements must be painted to avoid corrosion of the metal.
  6. Mounting of corrugated board . For fixing use iron screws, which are mounted to the frame with an electric drill or a screwdriver. They are attached to the inner part of the corrugation in steps of 10-15 cm.

If during the work you need to cut off some of the metal profile, then you can use a grinder with a cutting wheel.

How to make a beautiful fence from the fence yourself?

Here, as in the case with a fence made from corrugated board, the main load is laid on poles and veins from a profile pipe, so special attention must be given precisely to the fence. You can assemble it according to the scheme given above, only you will be more reasonable to make a pillar-type foundation with a distance between the lags of 3-4 meters. Thus, for 10 meters of a fence 10 poles and 20 poles with length of 2 meters each are required. The amount of shtaketin will depend on how tight your fence should go. If you take the distance of the fence width, then for one running meter of the fence you need 5 slats, and for 20 meters - about 100 slats. Attach the pins with a galvanized self-tapping screw, using a screwdriver. If the screws do not drill metal lugs, try to make a hole in it with a drill in the hole first, then screw in the screws.

After installation, do not forget to paint the fence carefully to prevent wood rotting in the future.
