"Alpine network." Construction of the fence
Construction of beautiful wooden fence budget steps. How to save on the fence
When one finishes construction and resurfacing season begins preparation for the next. For those who just started to "shag" and is in thought about the future of the fence, Forumhouse offers an interesting idea, the story of one of the users. DmitriyYaD shares his experience in the construction of a wooden fence.
Selection of fence or why not proflist
I hasten to say that the construction of the fence lasted for three seasons. Why so long? It is not laziness. All the reasons are absolutely objective - so everything in order. Have land 40 hectare, fenced was 20. After the construction of the bath, it was necessary to fence another 5 acres Old fence which went from previous owners, all falling apart before our eyes.
Option fence made of profiled sheet was not considered on of several reasons.
- Firstly, a matter of taste - for me, there is no beauty in the trapezoidal sheet. I end portion, on the forest and to spoil this kind of - a crime.
- Secondly, the village is located 120 km from the city - you can calculate the shipping cost! A sawmill in the county, I found four that allowed to bring any amount of material at any time.
- Third - I had to do it alone! With a total length of 215 meters of the fence, I could not even provide much building takes time.
So, why is this kind of fence under the name "Alpine network"? The first time I saw such a fence in a luxury cottage 5 years ago. He seemed very unusual and very appropriate in a forest and homes in the style of "chalet". After studying the "materiel" was found out:
- That such a fence is very strong - every board is a bar and 2 bars instead of a classic fence, we have 12.
- Such a fence is low windage - he seems to be purged, it can not be compared with the same steel sheets.
- The same ease of installation, a worker can easily install it - just my version!
Dismantling of old posts
What I have at the start of the project? From the good - pipe. Old fence has a step between the pillars of 2.5 meters, I need a step of 3 meters - so I missed pole that is very pleasing, and at current prices for the metal in particular! From bad as it turned out later - the same tube. I had to pull out about 70 posts. It was a really bloody work. Some pillars are pulled out just enough, just by brute force. And at some post it took up to 2 hours. Previous host creatively approached the installation of the fence: some poles he slept chippings and top Lepekha made of cement. Others have been at the bottom of the cement and receives headroom, and a column can not be pulled out until it is fully excavated, which, coupled with the clay was still one rabotkoy.
Debugging and installation of a new fence posts
Also, I needed to extend each post. In classical fence post height must not necessarily correspond to the height of the fence, as determined by the height upper crossbar. In my case, the pipes were 2.2 meters, I had at least 2.4 m (0.6 m in the fill, plus the height of 1.8 m). Welding experience I did not have any, but the desire - more than enough. Bought svarochnik SPEC-18 proved to be a very good choice and began to cook each post.
I filled the columns in a very peculiar. This method can be criticized, but he tested two winters. As I said, the entire site - a red clay, but on top of the ground floor on a bayonet spade. With the scrap shovels and such a mother I dug pit width on the shovel depth of 0.6 m and installed pole. Then sleep chippings and poured very liquid solution, the consistency of the water: cement ratio of sand and 3 × 1. Clay does not give much water though a leak and the next day I already sewed boards.
Horizontal installation of the fence
Sampling circuit itself is quite simple. Between the three columns from different sides woven board, in my case, 150 × 25 mm, the distance between the poles - 3 meters. The first and last board is sewn on the outside, without weaving. Screws used roofing 5,5 × 50 mm, I have a thick-walled tube and 4.8 mm screws break off. Spin need screwdriver with high torque. I bought a screwdriver, his moment of 40 Nm - turns to cheer. Also, I bought a battery circular saw - that eliminated the perenosok. Stained with pump action spray for 5 liters, proved itself very good sprayer "Beetle", enough for two years.
Dates, aides estimate
Since working on the weekends during the season managed to master the 70 meters, taking into account the dismantling and burning of old fence I think well. In general, and this could not happen if not for the help of my sole mate - my wife. And the pillars pulled together and sewed the board, and only painting when she was engaged.
Now about the numbers and materials.
- 10 cubes of the board - 80000 ₽.
- Screws - 3500 ₽.
- Painting - 20,000 ₽.
- Tool - 12,000 ₽.
Screws purchased at Leroy Merlin. Derevozschitny part of "Bor" from Castorama, color Rosewood. Now, about the economy. Even if you take the cost in 2000 ₽ per 1 meter of the fence if we paid by booking it on the side, the total amount would be 430000₽!!! I'm not talking about the demolition of the old fence. So, do not be afraid. Simply take and make. All the best.
