Tips for installation of the fence from the metal sheets. Personal experience

click fraud protection

Many readers of this blog will remember that in 2017 I mounted the fence. 33 m of mesh of metal poles and 66 m - of metal sheets. Description of the process laid out here in the articles. But the most important thing I have not written - does not have how to avoid many pitfalls in the process of construction, a situation which it is difficult to provide for those who are without experience as I take up this process. And also write brief tips.

1. Marking posts.

Markup and repeated verification. I was lucky in my case. Sheets I located between the metal pillars, and do not constitute a solid wall. I wrote earlier that made a mistake and accidentally guessing the width of the span between the columns in such a way that in the span of exactly 2.5 trapezoidal sheet. Even had trimmed 0.5-1.5 cm in width halves. And all because of the fact that he was wrong to 6 cm in the smaller side. The width between the pillars - 2.94 m

If you use a drill for drilling holes for poles with a diameter of less than 15cm, you should drill a well on one line. To do this, the ground from extreme pegs need to pull the rope and drive in the right place marked labels pegs.

It's hard to do if there is a bias in the area - the rope touches the ground. Markup in windy weather, it is better not to do.

When concreting pillars on a slope for fixing pillars at the desired height (ladder) I enjoyed gidrourovnya. Someone saw off the excess from the post after concreting.

After filling the post be sure to check its vertical position level on all sides. And if its height is important - install the markup on it and make sure that the post would not fell into the concrete. Concrete ideally vibrate vibrator. As the concrete in the film.

I believe that any of the fence must be concrete strip. This ensures that the poles do not squeeze frost heave. Pour tape better immediately after the installation of pillars - to installation of girders and trapezoidal sheet.

2. materials

The tube for use with steel pillars 3mm. They will be more stable and will not vibrate in the wind. The rungs - 1.5-2mm steel. The passage is better to do three rungs - less likely snowdrift squeeze steel sheet.

Carefully remove the rust from the pipes and degrease the surface before painting. The smaller will rust, the better the more will the coating. Because a rust inhibitor, which contains primer enamel in 1 to 3 rust (use only a) - can not cope with large thick iron oxides. And at this point, the paint will not hold.

Profiled better to buy on-column. Provided in advance as a fence color will blend in with the color of the roof structures.

3. Installation

Do not weld beams to the posts as in my case. This should not be done due to the thermal expansion of the metal. The rungs are bent. Not much, but on the back side it is noticeable:

Shot in the evening. On the front side bending it is not visible due to wave profiled sheet.

Attach the crossbar to the temperature needed clearance to a post here on these brackets:

Some advise fill the interior of the pipe the concrete column. Excessive reassurance that will not work. And in any case, do not do anything on the pipe welding after a fill - pipe may lead from the overheated water vapor from the concrete.

Screwed steel sheet by one wave. At least. Strongly not tighten screws - strain may remain in the steel sheet. And one can mount, but in windy weather, it is difficult.

Plastic poles drown special covers - no water gets inside and they will not rust from inside.

On finishing lath fence looks more complete

If there were scratches on the steel sheet in the process of installation and use - Purchase a marker to the desired color from the supplier.

I hope these tips will help someone ...
