We turn a fence from a chain-link mesh into a fence from a metal picket fence

If you have a chain-link fence on your site and it does not suit you, then the view can be changed for the better without dismantling the mesh. It is enough to insert the strips into the net. Wooden or metal.

It looks good. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of this option to change the fence. This idea came from the West and is not yet widespread in our country even among the products offered by manufacturers of metal picket fence.

Wooden planks can be cut from thin planks (if you have a circular saw). It is necessary to cover with wood impregnation on all sides. Better alkyd impregnation - not so quickly have to be updated. The immersion method will allow you to quickly coat the planks with impregnation.

But this coverage is still short-lived. It will have to be updated every 3-5 years. But, you see, the netting in such a frame looks different... And this option has one plus in comparison with metal inserts. More on this below.

Another option is to use a picket fence cut from flat and painted sheet. From which the metal picket fence and the profiled sheet for fences are made.

Many manufacturers who make a picket fence have guillotines and bending machines. They will make such a narrow picket fence according to your size. There are also companies that paint the picket fence with powder paint to match your color. Such a surface is even more interesting

You need to know the height of the fence and the width of the cells. It is unlikely that you have a chain-link fence higher than 1.5 m (the most common size). Therefore, the picket fence can be transferred to your car and the fence can be transformed in a few hours.

In China, even the tops for such a fence have been mastered - the fence looks more complete. What is not an idea for local producers of metal picket fence in every city is to expand the range. The tops are mounted as inserts.

Comparison before and after. But such an updated fence with a picket fence has one drawback: when the wind gusts, the picket fence can rattle. A fence made of wooden planks will be less susceptible to this. Alternatively, you will need to fix the picket fence in three places.

This can be done as follows: horizontally apply the same picket fence to the back of the mesh and screw the vertical picket fence with metal screws. 2-3 three horizontal bars will be enough.

Another option to transform the country fence, to make it colorful is to weave a pattern on the net from a strip of banner fabric or other material. The weaving pattern can be different, it all depends on your imagination. But this is a dacha economy option. Picket inserts look more impressive.
