Cheap fence: the process of self-production

Although wood, and metal fences are popular, the process of their construction is associated with high material costs. Even considered the low fence of mesh netting with detailed consideration of the estimates and the calculation can make a hole in the family budget. And if we add to the resulting amount of time spent and the physical effort, it is not surprising that FORUMHOUSE users looking for ways to simplify the process and reduce the cost of erection of fencing.

In this regard, a great interest was aroused by a fence built by a member of our portal with WAAD nickname. The following figures are quite sound, to realize that the method proposed by Nicholas, is unmatched.

As it turned out, the fence length of 50 meters and a height of 2 can make 1 person for 1-2 days, at a total cost of about 10 - 11 thousand. rub. At first glance this figure seems unrealistic, but when you learn the details of the construction, everything becomes clear.

All deliberation, Nicholas came to the following solution, which has already passed the test of time (the fence was built in 2012) and proved to be effective. WAAD decided to build a fence, using an intake fabric facade grid applied for shelter scaffolding and protection from debris falling.

On the one hand, the idea was not new. Many throw protective grid on the fence netting, turning it from clear to opaque, but Nicholas Inters approach to solving the problem.

The success of the concept is as follows:

- The fence can be done by one person for 1-2 days.

- Under it is not necessary to dig wells or drill pits, pour concrete.

- No need to buy profile pipes.

- No need for welding, professional tools.

- All items can be purchased at the nearest building market and bring in a car trunk.

So, on the fence needed:

- 1 roll facade dark green grid 50h4 m, a density of 90 g / sq. m cost about 5000 rubles.

- 26 bars length of 3 m made of sawn smooth reinforcement rods with a diameter of 16 mm, the value of 72 rubles / m.

- 150m steel cable "four" in the PVC sheath (10 rubles / m), as well as nylon twine "six" and thin twine on a reel.

Note: The prices are for the year 2012.

Then Nicholas acted. I painted the lower part of the columns to protect them from rust.

Then, holding the line, scored their sledgehammer to 1 meter in the ground, at a distance from each other by not more than 2 meters.

After that painted the aboveground part and connect the twine bars in 4 lines.

Pulling strings, Nicholas "prokinul" rope, with rope around the bars are not twined, and let the tangent (this should compensate for lengthening / shortening the cable length in frost) by screwing it in a collar-twist wire. And the cable goes no interference and with no large slack is 1 cm at each the span, and then stretched, by twisting it with twine.

But the easiest way to make pot holders out of plastic cable ties, do not tighten them until the end, providing free play in the 1-1.5 cm.

The result is easy enough extra-opaque fence that has a small sail area, because mesh breathable. The test showed the strong winds that the fence does not fall (just sags by 2-3 cm, and the elastic force of the bars, then returns to its original position). Grid almost does not fade in the sun, no breaks, no pops, just a little unsteady.

Snow load in fact. At the same time performs a fence and security functions. It is impossible to climb through it - bollards spring. The net did not break his arms, only to be cut with a knife. Crawl under the fence, too, is impossible. Lower cable can only be lifted by 20-30 cm. Ignite, throwing a cigarette butt, too, will not work.

If repairs are needed (for example, in the web of the fence there was a hole, or the passage of time it is a little faded) no need to change the entire grid. Buy the cheapest roll "fasadki" density of 35 g / sq. m, we move it to the old, to tie up, and fence, as good as new. Self-reinforcing bar fence sticks out of the ground forces of frost heave, and if necessary, it can be corrected "light movement of the hand."

In addition, the web site of the fence follows the terrain, flowing all the irregularities, and allows air to pass through the cell without the formation of dead zones, which is important for plant growth.

Despite the ease of installation, before making such a fence is necessary to pay attention to a number of nuances and recommendations made during its operation. To the extreme abutment bar provided under tension and not bent (because it accounts maximum load), Nikolai scored additional strut bar at an angle of about 45 degrees.

In addition, the double foil smarter during installation (tossed and forgotten, without breaking your head as to strengthen its upper edge) and better protection from prying eyes as compared to a single layer, but a double density. Layering two mesh webs overlapping each other, which increases the opacity of the fence.

In this case, the upper portion of the web will lie perfectly straight and will not be visible tip columns. Alternatively, instead of a rope can be used to "lag" the wire or armature 6 mm diameter, taking its dot welding.
