Before you build a dream house, put a fence. How we built a wooden fence.
Build a wooden fence with his hands
how are you fence Rabitz I have an article published. But lining the front of the fence, it was decided to make a timber. This part of the fence do on their own, without the involvement of hired labor.
It is necessary to take into account that the harder the computer mouse, and before the camera, I did not have anything, but here... New tools, skills which, I did not.
To understand the scope of work.
The total length of the fence, which is necessary to sheathe, including gate and swing gates, is 35 linear meters. The height of the fence 180 cm future.
Poles of metal pipes 80x80 + 4 4.5 meters long us drilled wells scored to a depth of 2.5 meters construction team that built fence netting.
Independently, we would not be able to withdraw the horizon and vertically deliver these pillars. Fence definitely would have dropped the following year.
Metal frames for doors and gates were pre-welded to the company and brought together with the core elements of the fence mesh netting.
In fact, we had a task to fill the board to the finished metal structure of the future of the fence. The task was to finish the wooden fence, that is, fitting planks, trim, priming, painting and printing boards for the whole length of the fence.
On the fence we went - 2 cubic meters pine edged board, screws 40 mm -. 2 kg, primer 10 liters and 15 liters of paint for finish painting.
Boards I booked on the internet and without prepayment me two boards brought cube, about 190 pc. 4 meter boards 100 mm X 20 mm. The cost of an edging board with delivery accounted for 15 000 rubles.
In the photo you can count how many boards brought. The number of boards 12 of 4 meters.
Eaves piled in stacks to make it easier to handle. The first task to paint the board on both sides of the protective base paint "Belinka". The color I picked is not transparent, and the color of larch. A few years later, I am sure that the decision be primed, and then paint the preliminary layer of "Belinka", there was no superfluous, although many argued that it was possible to just paint ordinary primer, and only put on the primer finish layer. The paint on the fence still retained their freshness and no chipping or peeling paint.
Brush in hand and ahead.
To understand that we have received, we decided to try it on a small number of boards. First, colored transparent board primer. The next day began to paint protective paint "Belinka" brush on both sides and in two layers. Back became capricious and demanding mechanise our work.
Realizing that this paint nightmare would last forever, I went to the store and bought a compressor Fubag AIR MASTER KIT with lots of attachments, which is then useful to me with the housework. The unit saved my health and time, and the back was grateful.
The painting boards took me a 10 liter jar. It took me three full days. The back is not unbent.
During the first day, I brush painted the first layer of primer all boards. The second day of fast and smooth paint over "Belinka". The blessing was bought tools: compressor and gun with a can top.
The next step had to be cut to the size of the board, to fill the board on metal structures and paint finish paint.
Between sampling edges, and its length, recall, it was 35 meters, the height difference from the beginning of the fence, from the first peg was 10 cm to the last column. Around the center of the fence installed gates and gate, which had been made slightly higher than the fence. This helped to visually hide the difference in height of 10 cm.
Pre-selected board on curves and not very much. And used on the facade only straight planks. When good steel board end, and we had to use the curves of the board. The curvature of the boards we have hidden, placing boards between them, closing the distance between them in the picket.
We started to mount the board on the fence.
Boards marked out on the required height 1750 mm on one part of a fence and 1800 mm for the second part. The difference of 10 cm was flattened due to the distance from one part of a fence earth is 5 cm. and the length of the boards.
Circular saw exactly sawed planks under the required size. They waited for the weather and the weekend we started the installation of the fence.
Fence, rather design a wooden fence has been set in advance
Boards attached to the transverse joists with screws 60 mm, using cordless screwdriver. Sami boards are screwed with screws 40 mm. Gap was left between the boards 2 cm.
They began collecting the fence from the gate to the completion of construction, if it be schools, they would be in the corner of the fence, and they would not be noticeable.
Then he took the paint aggregator and a couple of hours painted on both sides of the fence, which is 140 sq.m.
Beauty turned out incredible. And realizing that all this made the former a retired photographer and constructor, the sense of pride overwhelmed us.
Good luck in the construction. And remember, all you can do invited builders, you can do better.
