We are building a fence

The fence, although simple in design, but still requires certain preliminary calculations.

The construction of the fence begins with the calculation of the number of supporting pillars, regardless of which pillars will be applied. The distance between the pillars should be no more than 3 meters, but it is better a little less. At the same stage, places for installing a gate and gate are determined. After that, the installation sites of the pillars and drilling of pits are planned. Depending on the future design of the fence, its height and weight, the depth of the pit should be from 0.5 -1.5 meters in the depths. Its diameter should be 30-50 cm. Before installing, a metal pipe, regardless of whether they will be laid out with brick or not, should be painted. After which the pillars are placed in the pit, fixed and poured with concrete. You need to wait for 2-3 days so that the concrete gets up completely.

The next stage is the installation of horizontal supporting elements. There should be two or three, depending on the height of the fence. The role of a horizontal bearing can be performed by a board or metal corner, regardless of whether the fence itself will be made of wood or metal. After which vertical elements of the fence or metal canvas are installed. The lower edge of the fence should be raised from the ground a few centimeters so that the fence material is less exposed to moisture. The last stage is painting. If corrugated board from Roanto is used for the fence, then painting is not required.
