Fence, happy neighbors!

We live in the city. And when our child was two years old. We are thinking about buying a cottage. To the summer not in the yard on a sandbox to sit and spend time outdoors with use. We found a suitable option quickly, though the budget was only 60 thousand. As a result, in November we bought the cottage for 58 thousand rubles to the idea that the early spring we will go to "relax." Our villa - a 6 acres, along the perimeter of the old fence picket and then not everywhere, probably unpainted ten years, unfinished house of 36 square meters, or rather just 4 walls in a half-brick, without a roof, a floor and windows. Only one room of 6 squares had a ceiling and a floor semblance of the old wooden doors and old broken window. And in the main room of 20 sq.m. generally grew maple outdoors. And all around the bush. The general picture is terrible. In the winter, we made plans to start the construction of our house and counted the budget. We know that over the summer to build a house and to refine site, we can not, due to the fact that simply is not enough time and resources to it all.

Spring came. As soon as the snow melted, in mid-April, we went to the country to inspect their possessions. We had to create a place where we could come for the day and just relax from the city bustle lying on the grass and splashing in an inflatable pool with the child, and for this purpose, and the house itself is not needed. And so the first thing we wanted to start a landscaping garden - is to install a new fence around the perimeter. I wanted to hide from the eyes of neighborhood, as attention to us was a lot, considering that the previous owners went there to drink and go to the neighbors to visit the garden and through the broken fence.
To install a new fence, we took the following materials:
- metal poles in the amount of 45 pieces;
- a horizontal profile for compounds of the pillars about 150 units;
- cement and gravel to fill the posts;
- 20 sheets steel sheet;
- polycarbonate rolls 10 * 6 size of 2 m;
- hardware: screws.
And also with pleasure bought a welding machine for welding of metal structures and hand drill to make holes for poles. The benefit of the punch and Bulgarian we already had.
Cottage we have a corner, the first in the alley, so the two outer side of the fence that go to the mall, we decided to do without a doubt from trapezoidal sheet 2 meters in height.

Completely cleared of undergrowth and old picket fence along the entire front side alleys. First poles dug and filled them with cement mortar. When the pillars strengthened, the husband began to weld metal fence future. Made gates for entry and auto gate. And then with the help of special screws for trapezoidal sheet, sheathed the entire fence. Has become much more comfortable, have disappeared, at least from past and ongoing necessarily something commenting cottagers))
At the same time we think and decide how to proceed with the adjacent sides of our house. It was decided not to load the neighbors, and not to share the cost in half, because they are all the same would not agree, given that there are two grandmothers, that they take, they are so used to living without a fence. Do we not want to corrugated steel sheeting, so it will be very close in the box, and the neighbors probably would not like it. Fence also seemed to us not an option, because like something that none of the neighbors did not climb with his conversation and advice in our garden. We have been looking for options on the Internet. And we came across a material called polycarbonate. Though he seemed fragile to us, but after reading reviews about the strong greenhouse made of this material, we are at your own risk and decide to stop your choice on it. Just dug and poured cement, metal poles. Crossbeam between the columns wanted to make wooden beams, but eventually came to the conclusion that there is nothing better than a metal profile, to which he was attached polycarbonate. Polycarbonate costs are not cheap, so taking the thinnest 4 mm.vysotoy 2 meters and a width of 6 meters. After the fence was sheathed, it was decided to still strengthen its thin wooden shtapikami every meter.

Because when the wind blew, it seemed that the entire structure just come off the fence. In some places, and the upper part strengthened by connecting vertical glazing beads together. I cost us this fence of 30 thousand rubles, given that they have done everything on their own and with their own hands. But overall we were pleased with the fence: transparent polycarbonate does not create a sense of isolation, through visible outline nature, nobody climbed with empty talk, and most importantly, we and our neighbors were happy)) Polycarbonate has carried out all of our Dreams! This fence now 5 years old, but he stands as before.

Half of the garden planted strawberries, and the other half planted lawn and made a playground for children. Sandbox needed: the old wheels and five-liter bottle of water that we have filled the earth for strength and painted the whole sandbox bright colors.

Plan of the first summer season was completed. The following year, we started rebuilding the house, but that's another story!
