The fence in the country is perhaps the first item that should be considered when getting to know it after buying. The functions of the fence include, first of all, marking, as well as protecting the territory from viewing and unwanted guests. Also, all kinds of fences play an aesthetic role for the owner of the territory in conjunction with the rest of the arrangement.
There are many types of fences made of a wide variety of materials, examples of which are: a wooden fence in the country, corrugated board, a chain-link netting, a wattle fence, a slab. You should disassemble each type in order and decide which one is suitable for your preferences:
A fence in the country using a material such as corrugated board is one of the varieties of metal fencing, but has its own individuality - the cost is almost the same as a wooden one, but higher reliability and strength. The height of such a fence can reach about 4 meters, from the side the fence looks quite organic and modern, it is a solution for many summer residents, as the optimal ratio of price and quality of the fence.
A wooden fence has long become the most common option, almost traditional for sites of various sizes and layouts. The structure of the tree is also characterized by a sufficient level of reliability, heat retention and at the same time, easy to use in a wide variety of structures. The wooden fence fits perfectly into the concept of wildlife, harmonizing with the green colors of vegetation and pleasing the eyes of the owners. Such a fence can be easily painted, given a wide variety of shapes and sizes, remains familiar to many who do not particularly trust modern alternatives.
The chain-link mesh is an original construction from a moderate price category, it also has a high level of strength, is versatile and durable. The structure assumes the presence of both small and large cells, the material for production is steel, galvanized mesh, treated with a special vinyl coating. Most often, this type of fence is not stained, it retains its original appearance for a long time. It is exposed to simple decoration with vegetation, flowering plants, which allows you to turn it into a kind of hedge.
The wattle is an extremely inexpensive and economical construction option in comparison with previous options, but unfortunately it has a short service life in the region of 4 years. The wicker is made using a foundation consisting of metal and wooden supports with their subsequent sheathing with rods, which must necessarily have sufficient flexibility. Timber species that can be distinguished for the construction of this type of fencing - pine for the manufacture of wooden racks; walnut and willow for the manufacture of appropriate sheathing.
Below is a way to build a classic wooden fence for general repetition:
- Marking of the place for the future structure is made, as well as the place for the location of the main gate with the help of pegs, rope. The required distance between the posts must be at least 2 meters in order to avoid instability of the structure
- It is necessary to prepare in advance a place for the support posts by digging depressions in the ground with a bayonet shovel.
- The stage of immersion of the pillars in the prepared pits. You should not dig in the pillars too deep, a quarter of the entire length of the pillar is enough.
- Installation of spacers used for the final anchoring of the support pillars.The pit is poured with a mixture of cement and sand for complete solidification and strengthening.
- The process of driving in transverse boards.
- Vertical fastening of the picket fence on the transverse boards.
Also recently, the so-called gabion fence has become popular. Gabions are special folding structures made by means of a metal mesh. The average height of such structures is half a meter, the length is from 1 to 4 meters, and the width reaches a meter. Depending on the individual characteristics, layout and size of the site, the desired size of gabions is also selected. The assembly of the fence, which is a kind of mesh, is carried out using a wire with passing and tightening through these very cells. The process ends with the filling of gabions with stones, which makes it possible to give this type of fence an extremely original appearance, meeting the style parameters. This option is economical and easy to assemble, long service life and environmental friendliness due to the use of natural materials. Having shown your imagination, you can combine such a fence with the cultivation of rocky plants, because its structure has excellent moisture conductivity. Also, gabions have a good level of noise reduction and dust retention, so this interesting option may well suit your needs and preferences.
