Saved and got problems. My fence could not stand the strong wind.

The ability to admit your mistakes is the first step towards solving them. So I "stepped". When my fence defended the second season, I understood exactly where I was wrong and what needs to be fixed.

My plans to do everything perfectly on my site, from the first try and without experience, are beginning to be slightly corrected by reality.

And the reality is that you can't do without mistakes, especially in a new business.

So I put up a fence for the first time.

There are already several articles on my channel dedicated to this work.

You can read about everything here:

• DIY fence. Consider my mistakes.
• Budget fence after the first winter. What happened to him?
• The results of using raw boards. Correcting mistakes.
• Sliding gates. Why is this option suitable for my fence?
• Improvement of sliding gates. You can't even imagine such a thing.

And now, after a year of use, I can safely say that most of my decisions turned out to be not very successful.

And the main problem is weak pillars.

Corner 40 by 40 as pillars

, could only be used by an inexperienced beginner like me (that's to put it mildly ...). At that time, it seemed to me that this minimum would be enough.

• He hammered them deep, 1.5 meters.
• Everything is connected by a metal profile, by welding.
• I thought it would be tough enough ...

And for the most part, it happened, except for one section of the fence. Yet the weight of the wooden slats played a role.

In this place, the pillars were piled up. But the reason is not the impact of the soil, but the strong wind and open area.

It is here that the fence is not closed by anything and is most exposed to the wind, which is raging a lot in our region this year. Sometimes you could see the fence just swinging from him.

On the opposite side, where there is a lot of wood and a house, nothing affected my weak pillars.

You can't argue with nature.

Even attempts to align everything, and to put amplifications, did not lead to anything.

The jibs, which were supposed to strengthen the structure, were simply pulled out of the ground.

So we have to take global action. But this can already be done gradually.

Nevertheless, under all the conditions of economy, it seems to me that everything turned out not entirely critical. Of course I want to get quality for a penny... But apparently, this is not always possible, especially the first time. And that's not all the problems of my fence
