To order professional installation of fence sections in Moscow and the Moscow region, use the YouDo service. Specialized teams and private craftsmen registered in Yuda install durable beautiful fences in the territories summer cottages, commercial establishments and other objects. The cost of services offered by YouDo performers is acceptable for everyone.
How do professionals do their work?
If it is not possible to do the fence yourself, entrust this task to the contractor Yud. The master will arrive at a convenient time to inspect the area. A specialist registered on YouDo will advise on all issues and offer best option fencing, taking into account your wishes and financial capabilities.
Yudu performers are installing sectional fences various types and sizes made from:
- metal profile, concrete
- openwork designs
- chain-link mesh
- wooden fencing
If your site needs to be reliably protected, the YouDo contractor will construct the structure from metal profiles. This material is characterized long term operation and does not require special care. To ensure free access to light, the master will install a grid.
Fences consisting of sections do not require preliminary pouring of the foundation, and craftsmen registered on YouDo will cope with the task in a short time. The specialist will calculate the amount of material for construction sectional fence, organizes the purchase and delivery of everything needed to the site.
Installation of the fence by Yudu performers is carried out in several stages, which include preparation, excavation, direct installation. Professionals registered on YouDo carry out installation of fences according to the following plan:
- install support pillars after measuring the territory and determining the boundaries of their placement
- carry out soil preparation
- equip the foundation for the pillars: create wells, fill them with crushed stone and compact them
- install and concrete supports
Yudu contractors begin installing sectional fences from the first two posts with further assembly of structures. If the area has different heights, the master will take this factor into account. Fences near summer cottages are made from chain-link mesh by specialists registered on YouDo by welding or fastening with hooks.
To ensure that such a fence is resistant to mechanical stress and rust, the Yudu contractor will treat it with anti-corrosion compounds. For installation sectional structures from concrete panels With complex patterns, craftsmen use lifting equipment.
Advantages of ordering a service from a YouDo performer
Specialists from Moscow and the immediate Moscow region are registered on Yuda with a large practical experience. Qualified craftsmen know all the features of installing sectional fences of any type. When contacting a YouDo performer, do not doubt high quality works

In order to install fences efficiently and reliably, craftsmen registered on Yuda use professional tools and equipment. In the profiles of YouDo performers you will find portfolios that contain photos of a variety of sectional fences. Reviews will help you navigate when choosing a specialist.
Craftsmen registered with Yuda work in all districts of Moscow and the region. YouDo contractors accept orders for the installation of turnkey fences, regardless of the time of year. Experienced professionals are well aware of the nuances of constructing sectional fencing in winter and autumn and implement projects of any complexity.
Yuda-registered specialists have practical skills. They erect fences from metal profiles, concrete and other materials near the territories administrative buildings, private houses and cottages.
Calculation of the cost of services of masters from Moscow
Yudu performers set variable prices. To find out approximately how much it costs to install sectional fences, study the price lists in the profiles of specialists registered on the YouDo website. Prices are calculated after inspecting the areas, determining the types of fences and the amount of materials.
The cost of erecting fences depends on various factors:
- terrain feature
- complexity of work
- time of year (installation of fence sections in winter and autumn costs slightly more than installation in summer and spring)
- type of fence (chain-link mesh, metal profile)
- purpose of the object
The final cost includes the cost of purchasing fence structures, posts and other materials. To place an order for high-quality installation fence sections, send a request to Yuda.
Among other types of fencing, a metal sectional fence stands out not only for its durability and ease of installation, but also for the ability to increase visibility of the site.
This quality is especially convenient for gardeners and farmers who get the opportunity to monitor their garden, ripening crops or poultry.
Manufacturing of metal fences
Fences of this type are made using the method welded joints. In this case, the sections must have additional supports - vertical pillars, which are dug into the ground or mounted in concrete.
The material from which sectionals are most often made metal fences– welded steel rod, less often wire or mesh, which are hot-dip galvanized in accordance with GOST 9.307-89.
IN Lately New methods of strengthening and anti-corrosion treatment are becoming increasingly common:
- The polymer coating is colorless;
- Polymer coating on a phosphated base, colored;
- The combination of hot galvanizing, phosphating and polymer coating is the most reliable and expensive processing method.
Advantages of sectional fences
Metal sectional fences are found on summer cottages in 3 cases out of 5. Some people prefer concrete, others adhere to the ecological stylization of the landscape and choose wooden fences.
But in general, we can highlight a number of positive properties that allow you to make a choice in favor of sections:
- Quite reasonable price, which will save the budget 3-4 times along with the same construction;
- Practicality and durability of the material: treated metal fence sections are not afraid of corrosion, precipitation, mildew and mold, do not crumble over time, etc.;
- Durability and resistance to mechanical damage, deformation, friction;
- Long service life with minimal renovation work. The only thing that may be needed is restoration of the polymer or paint layer after ten years;
- Easy to maintain and install;
- Fire safety and security of the territory in terms of unauthorized entry. Indeed, if the metal fence sections are made of sharp and frequently placed rods, it will not be easy to overcome them;
- Big choice shapes, sizes, types of sections(see picture).
Installing the fence yourself
Tools and consumables
So, you have calculated the required number of sections around the perimeter of the territory and purchased fencing.
In order to do the installation yourself, you will need the appropriate tool:
- To level the installation level, use a thin nylon thread and a level, as well as a flat level to correct the installation of pillars. If you don’t have a level, you can use a hydraulic level or build it yourself;
Tip: to correct the plane of the pillars in large areas (25m and above), use a theodolite.
- For a stable distance between the mounted posts, spacers are used;
- To compact the base for buried supports, use a construction tamper;
- Also required hand tool– trowel, screwdrivers, pliers and keys, shovels and crowbar.
All that's left to buy is quality cement grades M200 and higher, fine sand and crushed stone to mix the solution. It is recommended to mix using a concrete mixer. Take a strong man to help you; you will need double strength to mount the posts in the holes and install metal sections for the fence.
Advice: if the volume of the solution being poured exceeds 2 cubic meters, do not save money and order industrial concrete and a mixer machine.
Preparing the foundation
First you need to mark out the steps. Here a level comes into play, which will help determine zero level landscape, which is marked with a peg.
It is also recommended to note the first and last step wooden stakes, with which to tighten and secure the nylon thread (see photo below). Or install a theodolite between them. Using a tape measure, mark the subsequent places for the posts and also secure the pegs.
To correctly carry out concreting, you need to have information about the properties of the soil:
- freezing depth;
- course groundwater etc.
It may be necessary to carry out drainage works: pour crushed stone into a layer of 100-150 mm at the bottom of the ditch, cover it with approximately the same layer of sand and compact it tightly with the addition of water.
We dig in pillars
It is recommended to choose a hole depth of 50-70 cm depending on the composition of the soil. To avoid loosening of the support, reinforcement is used in the form of stakes and rods. First, sections and pillars are assembled: the connection is made without final fixation.
Tip: when installing pillars on finished formwork, use patches with anchor fastenings– a type of ready-made reinforcement for poles.
Assembling the remaining sections
So, the first part of the work has been completed and the “pilot” installation has been completed.
Now instructions for assembling the remaining fence:
- The next panel is attached to an already fixed support using the hanging method using bolts and clips;
- The level is checked, then the next pillar is dug in;
- The panel (section) is also attached to the new post using hardware and clips;
- The section is secured with spacer bolts or other types of fasteners supplied.
- The foundation column is being concreted or fixed.
Conclusion
As can be seen from the article, installing a sectional metal fence on own plot- not so difficult. It is important to observe the technology, level and curing time of concrete. The result is a durable and practical fence that will serve faithfully for many years.
Simple and inexpensive way mark the boundaries of the territory - install a chain-link fence. Of course, today there are many alternative materials, having a more presentable appearance, for example, . But they are more expensive and labor-intensive to install, and are more suitable for permanent external fencing of a country house.
And if you need to fence off a building site, summer cottage, separate the economic zone from the residential one, or make an enclosure for animals?
Is it wise to spend a lot of money and a lot of time, attracting specialists, if you can make a fence from a chain-link mesh with your own hands in one day, and the result will be achieved? The manufacturing technology, calculation and installation are described below in the form of step-by-step instructions.
Advantages of a chain-link fence
- saving financial resources. The price of a chain-link fence is almost the lowest of all possible options fence Only a fence made of branches can compete in price, but otherwise it will lose;
- light weight. There is no need for a massive frame or pouring a foundation;
- strength and resistance to environmental factors: moisture, temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, fire, mechanical damage;
- light transmittance. A chain-link fence does not create obstacles to the penetration of sunlight, which means that there will be no shaded areas on the site and the plants will feel comfortable in any part of it;
- low maintenance and no need for repairs;
- ability to withstand significant load. For example, wooden fence it’s easier to break through than to tear a metal network;
- availability. You can buy chain-link mesh at any hardware store or market;
- a large assortment allows you to choose the one that suits you would be better suited for specific needs;
- high installation speed. Two people can install a chain-link fence in one day.
Of course, a mesh fence is not without its drawbacks, including: unattractive appearance, “transparency” of the fence and the need for painting. Some of the shortcomings can be easily eliminated if you know how to choose a chain-link mesh correctly.
Types of chain-link mesh for fences - which is better
When choosing which chain-link mesh to use for fencing, you need to take into account its main parameters:
1. Material of manufacture:
- low carbon steel (the mesh is more ductile);
- stainless steel (hard mesh).
2. External coating:
- non-galvanized chain-link. Wire thickness - 1.2-5 mm, cell size 50-100 mm. This mesh is prone to rust and needs painting;
- galvanized chain-link. Wire thickness - 1.6-5 mm, cell size 50-100 mm. Does not require protection, has a long service life;
- plasticized (metal with polymer coating). Wire thickness - 2.5-2.8 mm, mesh size 25-50 mm. More presentable, with high-quality coating has a long service life.
Advice. Ask the seller for a certificate confirming the quality of the coating. Simple PVC coating without additives that guarantee its resistance to ultraviolet radiation and frost, it will soon become unusable.
3. Chain-link mesh dimensions
The smaller the cells, the smaller the living creatures will fit through the mesh. This is relevant when building a fence, for example, for chickens or ducklings. But such a mesh will be heavier and it will take more metal, which means it will be more expensive. For a fence, the best option is a mesh with a 50x50 cell.
After the grid has been selected, it’s time to move on to the main work, namely, creating a sketch of the fence, calculating materials and installing the fence (tension and sectional).
How to make a chain-link fence with your own hands
Stage 1. Drawing of a chain-link fence
A drawing or sketch is a working graphic document that contains the following data:
- location of installation of the fence, taking into account access roads, trees, houses, other buildings on the site, etc.;
- relief features. If the site has a slope or elevation changes, the diagram will help you decide what is more appropriate: leveling the soil or making a cascading fence;
- fence length. Since the width is determined by the width of the mesh, there is no need to take the length into account;
- Place of installation of support pillars and supports.
Types of chain-link fences by frame type
When designing a fence, a decision is also made regarding what chain link fence frame will be used. Due to the fact that there are three ways to attach the mesh, there are three types of frame.
- tension fence- easy to install. Price tension fence from the mesh, the chain-link is minimal. In order to build it, you need to install supports and stretch the mesh. The design flaw is that the mesh will begin to sag over time;
- tension fence with broach. A broach in the form of a strong wire serves as a support that supports the mesh, preventing it from sagging;
- sectional fence. Requires more expenses for the purchase of a corner for the frame and longer time for the manufacture of sections. Although you can buy ready-made sections on the market. Naturally, the price of a sectional fence made from chain-link mesh is the highest, but the design is more reliable and practical.
Note. If the terrain on the site is uneven, it is better to give preference to a fence made of sections; this will allow you to install a chain-link fence, taking into account height differences, without leveling the ground plane.
The correct drawing of a chain-link fence contains a description of the fence with key dimensions and main components, incl. arrangement of corners.
Stage 2. Material for building a fence: selection and calculation
Installing a chain-link fence will only take one or two days if you prepare all the materials and tools necessary for the work in advance.
Construction Materials:
- Rabitz. The requirements for it are described above.
- Tension wire (when installing a tension fence). The function is to support the mesh, provide additional attachment points and eliminate the possibility of sagging. Galvanized wire with a thickness of 2 mm or more is suitable for the fence. (from 130 rub/m.p.).
As a more durable alternative to wire, reinforcement is used, which is welded between the posts or a thin pipe. These materials prevent theft of the mesh.
- Support posts for a chain-link fence.
- Profile corners (for making a sectional fence). Using corners, a frame of individual sections is formed, which are installed on support pillars. The average price of a corner 40x40x3 is 97 rubles/m.p.
- Thin wire or other fasteners for attaching the mesh.
- Cement and sand (for concreting support pillars).
- Protective compounds for wood or metal processing.
The tools you will need are: tape measure, rope for marking the area, shovel or drill.
What kind of posts can be used for a chain-link fence?
Metal poles
Used hollow profile round or square section. The versatility of the metal pole is beyond doubt. The iron support does not require any treatment during installation (only priming and painting); any type of fasteners can be welded to the metal.
Chain-link fences are suitable for a fence made of mesh round post with a diameter of 60 mm. (average price for a metal thickness of 2 mm - 159 rubles/m.p.) or rectangular, with a section of 40x60 (price for a wall thickness of 2 mm - 163 rubles/m.p.).
Wooden pillars
Despite the fact that this is the simplest solution, wooden supports have the disadvantage of being susceptible to weather influences and the activity of microorganisms. In addition, dense wood (oak, elm) is not cheap. You can use more popular species - pine, birch. With proper treatment and constant care, they will last 20-25 years. However, in practice, wooden chain link fence posts are used for temporary structures. A post with a size of 100x100 mm (70 rubles/m.p.) is suitable for a fence.
Brick pillars
Strong and massive supports are too expensive a solution for a mesh fence, and therefore are not used in practice. In addition, a foundation must be poured under them.
Material prepared for the website www.site
Concrete pillars
Relatively inexpensive material. You can make it yourself or buy ready-made ones ( approximate price for one support 80x80x2000 - 350 rub./piece). This is relevant if the store is in close proximity to the installation site, otherwise transport costs will significantly increase the cost of a chain-link fence. At the same time, fastening the mesh to concrete pillar has its own specifics.
Asbestos cement pipes
They are characterized by relative cheapness (pipe price 100x3000 - 300 rubles), strength and resistance to rotting. But stretching the mesh is inconvenient and requires the use of clamps or clamps. In addition, the pipes are hollow; they simply need to be closed with plugs, otherwise frozen water will simply rupture the pipe from the inside.
Stage 3. Calculation of a chain-link fence
- Number of m.p. (linear meters) mesh depends on the size of the area. Usually, chain-link is sold in rolls of 10 m. The price of galvanized chain-link mesh 50x50x2 mm is from 54 rubles/sq.m. The price of non-zinc-coated mesh netting 50x50x2 mm - from 48 rubles/sq.m. Price polymer mesh 50x50x2.2 mm - from 221 rub./sq.m.
- The length of the tensioning wire is equal to two fence lengths (or three if the wire is installed in the middle). With a fence height of 1500 mm, 2-3 pieces are sufficient.
- The number of pillars depends on the perimeter of the site (total length of the fence) and is calculated based on the fact that the maximum distance between adjacent pillars is 2,500 mm. This rule remains the same for a fence with tension and for a sectional fence.
- Length profile corner equal to the perimeter of the frame multiplied by the number of sections.
- Wire for fastening or other fasteners depending on the method of fastening.
Stage 4. Installing a chain-link fence with your own hands
Sequence of work.
1. Preparing the soil surface
The fence installation site does not require serious cleaning. It is enough to remove debris and eliminate interfering plants and shrubs. In this case, plants that will grow near the mesh (and not near the support post) can be left if their development does not lead to deformation of the mesh.
2. Pouring the foundation for a chain-link fence
Do you need a foundation for a chain-link fence? There are fences installed on the foundation. Filling concrete base can only be explained by the installation of a mesh using heavy metal sections. Which in most cases is unjustified.
3. Installation of posts for a chain-link fence
Preparatory treatment of fence posts
- Treatment wooden poles - the timber should be treated with an antiseptic (a solution that prevents wood from rotting) at the level of its depth in the soil. The SENEZH product line has proven itself well (price from 90 rubles/l).
- Processing of metal poles- iron supports must be cleaned of rust and coated with a corrosion inhibitor (preventing the development of rust). The products of the company Conferum, which supplies several types of primers, are in demand.
How deep should I bury chain-link fence posts?
Despite the minimal windage of the mesh, the chain-link is heavy; with a length of 2.5 meters (between supports) and a height of 1.5 m, the fence can tilt or fall. Therefore, support pillars are installed to a depth of up to 1 meter, with certain conditions(height of the fence, type of soil on the site) minimum depth pits 50-80 cm.
Methods for installing fence posts
Installation on hard ground (clay)
Installation is possible in two ways:
- Firstly, by hammering or screwing in the supports to the required depth. This method has a significant drawback, which is that it is difficult to maintain the installation level when driving and it is easy to deform the top of the driven pipe. Therefore, it must be covered with plywood to avoid deformation.
- Secondly, by drilling/digging a hole for it and then pouring concrete. In this case, the installation depth of the support is selected taking into account the level of soil freezing. However, some masters argue that this is not necessary.
Installation on loose and heaving soils
The technology is more labor-intensive; here the craftsmen also distinguish two installation options:
- First, install the support 20 cm below the soil freezing level. Then the heaving of the soil will not push out the pipe.
- Secondly, replace the soil around the support. To do this, you need to make a hole of a larger diameter (twice the diameter of the pipe) and replace the soil in this place with crushed stone, at a height of 40 cm to the surface of the soil, the column is concreted. This method creates drainage, which takes over the heaving of the soil and levels it out. In this case, the pole will definitely not lead.
Advice. Manual drilling, especially when large quantities holes for posts is a very labor-intensive task. It is better to find/rent/buy a motor drill, with which guide holes of 50-60 cm are made, the remaining 40-50 cm of the pipe (column) are hammered with a sledgehammer.
How to install chain-link fence posts
Installing posts for a chain-link fence is no different from installing other types of fencing. Installation procedure:
- The corner posts are installed first. When tensioned, they are subject to the greatest load, so it is advisable to strengthen them with spacers (oblique supports). The purpose of the spacers is to prevent the tilt of the support. As an option, you can put more powerful pillars (thick-walled) in the corners;
- pillars are installed where the fence breaks (at the corners of the fence, at corners);
- between already installed pillars a rope is pulled, along which, first of all, the supports for the gates and wickets are mounted;
- settling in entry group( , ). Please note that the entrance group of a chain-link fence is always made in the form of a section, reinforced with additional jumpers;
- after this, row pillars are installed. It is advisable to make the distance between them the same. This rule is mandatory when installing a sectional fence.
Note. Hollow metal pipes are closed with plugs to prevent water from getting inside and causing rust.
4. Guide wire for tensioning the chain-link mesh
The purpose of the wire (cable) is to ensure a strong tension of the mesh between the posts. The necessary tension is provided by the following methods of fastening the chain-link:
- tensioner;
- lanyard;
- hook with long thread;
- staples, clamps, spans and clamps only keep the wire from sagging on intermediate posts. They are not used as tensioners.
The order of tensioning the chain-link: one end of the mesh is tied to a corner support post, and the other is stretched. If the length of the fence is too long, intermediate fasteners are installed. Their function is to support the wire.
Note. Some users advise running a guide wire through the mesh cells. But this option is only suitable for installing a small fence, because stretching the wire along the entire length and then installing the mesh on the supports is a difficult and pointless task.
5. Attaching the chain-link mesh to the posts
- install on the stretched tension wire;
- secure to the fittings;
- install into a section and secure in separate sections.
How to stretch the mesh between support posts when building a tension fence
A roll of chain-link mesh is installed vertically near the corner post (attached to metal poles). In this case, the curved edges of the mesh should be oriented upward. This reduces the risk of injury from the sharp ends of the wire.
Advice. If a non-galvanized chain-link mesh is installed, then the craftsmen recommend raising it above the ground level by 100-150 mm.
The mesh is fixed in several places on the support. Then, gradually unwinding, the mesh is tensioned and at the same time attached to the upper horizontal jumper (wire or reinforcement).
When the first roll is finished, the mesh is pulled over the lower jumper. It is important to untangle all the tangled spirals of the mesh.
After this, the second roll is screwed to the first roll (to each other), and the second roll is unwound with tension.
Note. If the work is carried out with an assistant, then the connection (bundle of rolls) can be done in a canopy. If you do it yourself, then you need to connect the pieces when the mesh is not fully stretched, and its edge can be stretched along the length on the ground. Sometimes binding is done by using a wooden bridge to which the edges of both rolls are attached.
After installing the chain-link mesh along the entire length of the fence, the mesh is fixed to the middle lintel.
When stretching the wire, special attention should be paid to the corners. Here you need to be extremely careful to avoid distortion of the mesh fabric.
How to stretch the mesh between support posts when building a sectional fence
First, let's look at how to make sections for a chain-link fence
- from metal corner need to make a frame. Frame parameters: length equal to the length of the support pipe minus 100-150 mm; the width is equal to the distance between adjacent supports;
- the corner is opened into blanks using a grinder;
- the blanks are welded into a frame;
- Next we work with the grid. The required size is unwound from a roll of chain-link and separated by twisting the wire;
- A reinforcing rod is inserted into all four sides of the mesh. The rod allows you to pull the mesh to the edge of the corner;
- the rod is welded to the edges of the frame inside the corner. Thus, the chain-link is attached to the corner.
There is another option that involves welding inside corners of metal pins (hooks) 3 mm thick. Then the pins are bent inward with pliers, and the mesh is pulled over them. After the entire mesh is stretched, you need to weld the edges of the hooks to form a loop. This eliminates the possibility of the mesh slipping.
After the frame is ready, we proceed to its installation. To attach a separate section to a profile pipe, you need to weld a metal plate onto the support and weld the section to it.
It should be noted that it is very difficult for a beginner without experience to make sections for a fence from a chain-link mesh. Difficulties arise from the fact that:
- it is problematic to make sections of the same size;
- it is difficult to install a piece of mesh stretched, without sagging;
- the need to perform welding work;
- difficulty in installing fence sections.
Decorative decoration of a chain-link fence
A chain link fence is no different. bright design and attractiveness, but if desired, it will result in a nice and durable fence for the site.
Ideas for decorating a mesh fence
- openwork weaving. It is made with thin wire on a mesh with large cells. A simple pattern can be made with your own hands;
- decorative landscaping. Landing weaving or climbing plants along the mesh fence, will allow you to create hedge around the site. Alternatively, you can attach hanging pots with flowers, as in the photo on the right;
- in order not to wait for the greenery to grow and braid the fence, the mesh can be decorated with decorative wire flowers;
- creative design. With a little imagination, you can create original and funny decorations for a chain-link fence.

Cost of a chain link fence
The total costs of constructing a chain-link fence are determined taking into account the materials used and their quantity. For example, the cost of materials was indicated as they were discussed. The cost per meter is easy to calculate, knowing the consumption of each material and the length of the fence.
The price of a chain-link fence for work and installation is per 1 m.p. is given in the table
Thus, a chain-link fence is a cost-effective and quickly erected type of fencing that you can make with your own hands.
A sectional fence is the best fencing option in terms of cost and reliability. This is a prefabricated structure made of ready-made sections, which is quickly installed on the site, requires a minimum of space and is not inferior traditional options safety fences. Therefore, it is often used as a temporary or permanent solution when fencing large areas.
Types of sectional fences
Used for the manufacture of sectional fences various materials. The most popular is ordinary metal, from which welded sections are created. But for these tasks they also use:
- Concrete
- Tree
- Mesh products
And other options suitable for creating ready-made components. To install products in place they use Additional materials like concrete, brick, metal structures and others like them. This allows you to create a reliable fence, the characteristics of which are not inferior to a full-fledged fence.
For the construction of such fences, ready-made components are used - sections. They are used for cottages, country houses, private areas, construction and other fencing as a temporary and permanent solution. Now there are several common types of sectional fencing:
- Sectional wooden fence
It has nice view and low cost. Wooden fences are easy to construct and allow you to quickly fence off an area. But its reliability is low, and long-term use requires special care for the wood.
- Rabitz
Low price, reliability and simplicity are the advantages of a chain-link fence. It is practically no different from usual options from this grid, so I took all the advantages similar designs. Basic maintenance, low cost of materials and high installation speed make this type very popular.
- Corrugated fencing
Corrugated sheeting is a good material for sectional fencing. It is initially produced in sheets, so you can immediately order the appropriate sizes. It is easy to install, has a low cost, and also hides everything that happens behind it. It is often used as a permanent solution, but for this it is worth choosing high-quality corrugated sheeting.
- Welded sectional fences
This type metal fencing most popular. He uses finished goods made of metal such as reinforcement, forging, profile pipes and the like. Such structures are durable, often have a pleasant appearance, and are also easy to install (if you have experience in welding). But their cost is higher than that of conventional sectionals.
- Concrete sectional structures
Today this is a popular and optimal type of fencing. The advantages of concrete are that it is a reliable, long-lasting and inexpensive material. In addition, decorative segments are often created from it, which initially have a special texture and additional elements. This makes such a fence very beautiful, which makes it possible to make it permanent. But decorative concrete products expensive, and working with them is quite difficult due to the weight of the sections.
These are all the most used sectional fences that can be found on the market today. Each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages, so you should choose them depending on your requirements and tasks.
Another type of similar fences is noted - brick. But this is a misconception, because the sections are not made of brick, but are built on site using ordinary masonry. Sometimes you can see special brick posts for installing segments, but there is no full-fledged brick segment on the market.
Advice ! Some sectional fences do not require concrete pouring pillars This mainly applies to wooden options. It is worth taking this into account when choosing, because such a fence is quickly erected, but has low reliability.
Advantages of sectional fences
These types of fences are popular for many reasons. They are more practical compared to permanent options from brickwork. Therefore, today they are used almost everywhere.
The main advantage of such structures is the speed of their construction. For many of these options it is not necessary strong foundation, so they can be erected in a few days. This is especially true for large construction projects where fencing is needed in a short time.
Low cost also makes such designs popular. Ready-made sections cost very little, which is especially true for options made from chain-link mesh or corrugated sheets. Costs are only for material, and installation work is minimal.
Reliability is a quality that applies only to some types of sectional fencing. These are concrete and welded options. They are reliable and durable, so this fence can stand for many years. Often it is made permanent, because the appearance of such a fence is not bad. A non-decorative concrete fence can be covered with a weaving fence, which will hide its shortcomings.
Installation of a sectional fence
The installation of such a fence consists of several stages, including preparation, excavation, placement of the fence and finishing stages. Although sectional fencing is simple, the process may seem daunting to a beginner. Therefore, it is worth doing it according to plan.
The work consists of the following stages:
- Setting marks for pillars.
It is necessary to first measure the entire working area and determine the exact location of the pillars. The marks will make further work easier.
- Excavation.
This stage includes working with the soil and its preparation. It is necessary to determine the deficiencies of the territory (depth of soil freezing, its stability and groundwater level) and carry out the appropriate work. They include drainage, creation of drainage channels and the like. - Preparing the foundation.
Preparing the foundation for the pillars - important stage, which determine the stability of the entire structure. It is necessary to create a well, followed by backfilling with crushed stone and compaction. Construction sand will improve the stability of the pillar. - Installation and concreting of pillars.
The first two pillars are installed and concreted. It is important to place them evenly, because otherwise the partition will not work. - Placement of the first section.
The first partition is installed on the first two pillars. - Further assembly.
Further work continues on the first section.
