Replacing an old fence (decided to make metal sheets)

The issue of installing a new fence for a long time delayed. Actually, lasted up to the point where it threatened to be filled up. Fifteen years ago, we put a new gate and not to bother, hastily hammered together wooden fence, a temporary, but there is nothing more permanent than something temporary.

So the first thing was demolished crack of wood on which turned the old fence. Pulled out the old posts, deepened the formed hole, and installed new poles of chopped Bulgarian profile. Of course, it is better to withstand the day, and then start cooking the cross, but did not want to spend the night without a fence, and in fact, the back side, no task was to make everything perfect.

Cross members decided to cook right up to the goalposts that save significant time, effort, and in fact, the material - profile. However, it makes sense to do so, that the fence is "lived" separate from the gate, there's need to look nuances. In this case, the gate opened, closed, without any interference. Well, here everything is on the classics, three horizontal "stripes" of a thinner profile, which will subsequently be attached sheets.

Immediately it is worth noting that a lot of work to be done by welding. Seams to get a quality, not to say very much neat, you could do better.

Sheet iron purchased eight sheets of 200 cm to 120 cm, enough for a full fence and a gate. Chose not the cheapest option, but remember that it is necessary to handle the sheets carefully, or if you are working at the site hired a team, it is necessary to monitor the accuracy of workers. For example, we inadvertently burned the welding sheet in one place and in another place a drill slipped and also received an unfortunate dent. change the list - meaning no kind of special, but a bad feeling remained. And bend the sheets on "hurray", alone it is better not to work, spoil the fence.

Mount sheets, perhaps the most monotonous work that easily tiring, but at the same time, can encourage ourselves gain several screws sheet - like as half fence already installed. Here again, the main thing to do without haste and the result does not disappoint.

We decided to make a gate, but again, this is "rear" side of the area, so did without handles and a full lock, put only the latch by screwing it on the same screws. Clumsy, but it is currently.
