A fence of corrugated Board with your hands

Construction fences are the demands for its strength, reliability and sustainability. Not the last role in choosing a fence for a suburban area is its aesthetics. The fence must be not only durable and sturdy but also fit harmoniously into the overall design.

Universal material for the construction of the fence is considered to be profiled, which is based on galvanized sheet metal. Previously profiled sheets were used only for roofing non-residential buildings, garages and fences for construction projects. But it is in the past.

Profiled sheet ↑

Modern manufacturers of corrugated sheets brought it to a higher level of quality. And today corrugated sheet is the same galvanized sheet metal, covered with high-quality protective layers, corrugated on a special machine and attractive in appearance. It is made by applying the method of cold-rolled, hot-dip galvanizing and coating on the surface of various protective compounds:

1. applying a protective layer of galvanized steel is considered the most simple and cheap method that provides acceptable durability and protection from corrosion. This material is suitable for covering garage, outbuildings and a small fence;
2. coating a polymer composition, which provides better security and allows you to paint the corrugated sheets in any color;
3. the application of plastisol, which will provide profiled sheet maximum strength and durability.

Due to the fact that the corrugated sheet has a corrugated shape, it is durable, rigid and resistant to damage and wind.

The advantages of a fence of corrugated Board ↑

The construction of the fence of area of the profiled sheets with his own hands has several advantages:

• typically, the fences of profiled sheeting is quicker than the fences of brick and natural stone, for their installation does not require expensive equipment and special knowledge and skills. You only need to calculate the perimeter of the site, quantity of consumable material and install the support poles. To make the fence attractive to use brick, natural stone, forged items.
• the ability to combine with other building materials, including mesh-netting;
• regardless of the height of the fence, its durability and reliability remain the same;
• property of the sound allows you to protect the area from extraneous noise;
• environmental safety;
• a rich color palette. The sheets of corrugated sheets do not lose their color, do not fade and do not fade throughout their service life.

In addition, a fence of corrugated Board is cheap. But, more importantly, it is necessary to strictly follow all the rules, how to make a fence of corrugated Board with your hands.

Necessary tools and materials ↑

Before you build a fence of corrugated Board, it is necessary to prepare all building materials and tools. To calculate the amount of the profiled sheets is sufficient to know the length of fencing around the perimeter and fold it with the height of the fence. And also will need:

1. shaped tube for supporting pillars 60×60 mm. of Course, as supports for the profiled sheet can be selected and the pillars, brickwork, and stone pillars and logs, and asbestos pipes. But in the construction of a fence of corrugated Board with your hands, as a rule, used pipe, the amount of which is calculated as follows: distance between posts should not exceed 2.5 meters, and the height of the pipe must be equal to the height of the future fence plus the depth of the burial:
   
   The obtained data are summarized and the result is the desired number of pipes;
2. profile pipes of 20 x 20 or 20 x 40 mm required for the installation of crossbars for fixing of sheets:
   
   The number of such pipes depends on the height of the fence of the future;
3. screws for metal with rubber gaskets:
   
4. riveting machine for joint:
   

5. drill and building level;
6. welding machine and electrodes to generate a frame;
7. the container for mortar, cement, gravel and sand;
8. rope and wooden pegs;
9. paint for painting of poles and cross lag the color of the fence.

After installation, the fence will look like this:

The layout of the perimeter ↑

Before you begin the construction of a fence of corrugated Board, you need to properly measure the perimeter of protected areas and calculate the number of support poles. The marking of territory is carried out by hammering pegs in the ground corners of the future fence, between which is stretched tight strong thread, and make the necessary measurements. Only after this is a project of the future fence of corrugated Board.

Installation of supporting pillars ↑

Before you start installing the pipes for the supports of the fence required around the perimeter of digging holes for pouring of the Foundation. Digging, of course, you can shovel, but is a time consuming process. Therefore it is better to use a garden drill. After each excavated pit measured distance and digging the next hole. And so on.

From, how well will be installed the support poles around the perimeter of the site will depend on the reliability, durability and appearance of your future fence.

The height of the supports for a fence of corrugated Board depends on the height of the fence. Post supports are to be strictly in a straight line, and the distance between them must be three meters. And in order to install the pipe, you must dig a pit 1-1.5 m depth.

After was dug all the holes for the supporting pillars, you are ready to install the poles, during which it is important to constantly make sure that they were strictly vertical. To do this, use the building level. If the support poles were installed straight and vertically, then you can start pouring the concrete. Those tubes that are lowered into the excavated pit to a depth of 1.5 meters, filled with solution only on the meter, and the remaining 50 cm of the tube should be tightly wrapped with roofing material, and then backfill and compacted sand. In this condition it is necessary to leave the Foundation for three days.

Mounting reference lag ↑

After you have installed the support poles and the Foundation is firmly entrenched, you can start installation cross log, which are parallel to each other.

In order to firmly secure the joists to the metal pillars, it is best to use welding machine.

There is a second method of fixing the lag with bolts and nuts, but he’s not as reliable as welding.

The attachment of the corrugated sheet to the metal frame ↑

Completes the construction of a fence of corrugated Board installation of the profiled sheets, which by the rails of the frame are attached with screws, rivets or galvanized bolts. As a rule, to align the sheets should overlap on the same wavelength.

After he was profiled sheets fixed to the frame of the fence, should all metal parts covered with primer and then two coats of enamel.

If necessary to carry out the installation of a fence of corrugated Board on a bumpy landscape, it is necessary to take into account at the stage of marking the perimeter and installation of supporting pillars. So, if the perimeter of the site meet and exaltation and depression, the pouring of the Foundation should be carried out with the depth of the depressions, which will guarantee the durability of future designs. And the distance between supports should not exceed three metres.

Care fence of corrugated Board ↑

To a fence made of profiled sheets have served long and reliably, in addition to a sturdy frame, you need to exert quite a bit of effort and time to clean it from dirt.
