Budget fence after the first winter. What happened to him?

Greetings to all lovers of country life!

Today I decided to sum up the first results of the passing of winter ...It seems to me, after nearly three months of cold weather, it is possible to judge whether weather affected my work or not.

On checking my fence.

About how I did it, described in detail in this article: "A fence with his hands".

Its main features are:

• Comparatively weak base: as pillars - Small 40x40.
• Heavy sewing material - wood.

Of course, in many ways, such decisions have been associated with the finances, or rather unwillingness to spend a lot of money is on the fence as main goal - is to build a house.

But the savings were not the main reason.

As the pillars I chose Area, also because it is not necessary to dig and It can be nailed into the ground at normal depth. I went 1.5 meters.

And it turns out, even though I have a high groundwater table on the site, posts not how much squeezed and not tilted.

The only thing that I had to make furtherBefore the winter - it is set additional stopsAs under the weight of wet, heavy boards, fence significantly swayed in the wind.

The stops have turned rather "cute", and most importantly, do their job.

Weight and windage.

On this occasion, I experienced the most.

Fence originally we were going to do high. But if, at a height of 2 meters use profiled on poles need to do much more powerful, or the fence will fall from the wind.

Therefore, even a heavy wooden fence, but it made with blowing perfectly aligned with my "weak" pillars. Given that the wind during this period there have been very strong, everything works as it should.

And the most important thing, the gates and doors as they were made, and the work. Nothing is twisted, the castle is closed as well as in summer.

I update it, because he or once saw during the winter, poles, with gates and doors, walking on the ground frost heave.

Although I base gates and the gates poured a solid concrete bridge, nothing moved in the winter, I think, for two reasons:

1.Sand bed, which is ground and put in place when the concrete is poured.

2.The close proximity of the drainage ditches, which removes all water from the gate and accordingly excludes ground heave.

So that, cheap, too, is a reliable.

Of course the more specific the results will be visible after a few years.

And at the moment, I'm happy with the result!
