Brick fence posts (not only for the rich): imitation or analogue for 4 rubles. per brick

The fence serves us as a protection against the penetration of unauthorized persons, fencing our territory. A brick fence is the most solid and durable. But this is very expensive. To save money, you can make only pillars of brick. It will be several times cheaper and will also look stylish, beautiful, fashionable.

Such a fence is considered a luxury class and is chosen by wealthy owners of country houses and cottages.

We will tell you how to make brick pillars cheaper and not lose in quality, aesthetic appearance.

A brick pillar consists of a base - a steel pipe, which is lined with bricks. The height of a brick pillar is usually from 2-3 m. Between the pillars from 2 m.

The company can order the installation of pillars made of facing hollow bricks (height 2000, width 380 mm) for 10,000 rubles. If you use solid brick, they will ask for more - 12,200 rubles. behind the post. This is for a construction of 1.5 bricks, along with reinforcement, foundation for a pole, etc. elements.

For brick pillars, as a rule, a strip foundation is required. When the brick is laid around the pipe, the void is filled with concrete, reinforced with mesh or wire.

To save money, you can add chipped slate when pouring the foundation. Fill in the bottom of the trench, which is filled with concrete. Just make sure that the slate does not stick out.

How to save on poles?

There is a relatively new material on sale - PIKS (decorative poles). This is a good alternative to a real brick post. Plastic panels are for decoration only. From a distance, they cannot be distinguished from real brick pillars. Ideal for fencing made of corrugated board, euro shtaketnik. They do not make the fence heavy, the foundation can be made not solid.

They look perfectly smooth and beautiful. Installation is simple and quicker than laying brick poles. You can do it yourself. For one post you need to buy 6-7 panels.

At the cost for one post (2 meters height) from PEAKS panels need about 5000 rub. This is taking into account the work, frame, fasteners, etc. elements. But the imitation is flimsy (made of plastic). Not such a solid fence will turn out.

There is a better solution

Used brick fence posts. You can even buy a royal brick for prices from 14 rubles apiece. You can find it cheaper.

It's even easier to buy a regular used brick from 4 rubles apiece. You can even cut it in half, since there is no load on the posts.

For one pillar (2 m.) You will have to pay the same as for PIX - about 5000 r. But it will look more interesting and lively. The texture of the brick (albeit used) is better.

In addition, such a fence will be stronger and more solid. The original is always better than any imitation.
