This construction is necessary not only tohighlight the boundaries of your territoryand to prevent undesirable penetration of strangers, but alsofor site protectionfrom winds, dust and debris. The fence can also performdecorative role, if it is done taking into account the general stylistics of the site. Before choosing a specific type of fencing for a country plot, it is necessary to determine the functions assigned to it and analyze the operating conditions.

№1. Criteria for choosing the type of fencing

The fences area number of tasks, among whichkey:

• definition of borders;
• ensuring the security of the territory;
• decoration of the site.

Each fence fulfills these functions in one way or another, but since the dacha section borders on different objects, some fences will fulfill these tasks to a greater or lesser extent. For example,fence that separates the site from the street, roads or forests, should be, above all, reliable and provide protection, and the fence separating your site from neighborly, serves mainly to determine the border and decoration of the territory - it is not capital and unapproachable must. In any case, the fence should be aesthetic and not spoil (and better decorate) the country site.

The most important value in choosing the material of the fence is the style of landscape design. For the sites made in the classical style, the best decoration will be stone, brick or forged fences, the country style will decorate the wooden fence, and in the folk style it will be appropriate to woven hedge. It's great if the fence, house and other buildings on the territory will have some common features.

№2. Regulatory requirements for site fencing

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble even before the construction of the fence, it is necessary to obtainresolutionon its construction.

Therefore, it must be performed from mesh or lattice materials. Height of the fence,facing the street, canto reach 2 m. Such fences can be made of any materials, there are no transparency requirements.

The rules also regulatedistance fence from objects on the site: 3 m - for houses and 4 m - for enclosures of domestic animals. Before you put a fence between your site and the neighbor, you need to make a markup, and then agree on the border with the neighbors. This will not only preserve normal relations, but will also avoid disputes over illegally seized land.

No. 3. Type of foundation for a summer cottage

Since protective functions are assigned to the enclosure, it must be reliable, durable and durable, which is impossible without an adequate foundation. For fence useone of the following:

It requires digging a trench with a depth of at least 30 cm, which is covered with a layer of gravel or rubble, then reinforcement frame and formwork is established, its height should be 20-30 cm above ground level. Then formwork is poured with concrete mortar;
• pillar foundationSuitable for fences consisting of individual spans (mesh-netting, corrugated board, etc.). The distance between the poles depends on the length of the spans. For each pillar, a hole is made about 1 m deep, after installation of the pit column, a pit is poured with a cement-sand mortar.

№4. Main types of materials for the construction of fences

There can be lots of options for garden fencing. Fencing trim is made of these types of materials:

• high price;
• large weight sections, which complicates the transportation and installation process;
• metal with time can rust, so sometimes you have to treat the surface with special substances, but it's not so troublesome;
• transparency of the forged fence.

Forged fences are usually installed on the border of the site and the street, and since they do not hide everything that happens on the territories, they are recommended to use when the area is large enough or located in a very quiet and non-stop location. Often forged sectionscombined with stone, brick or concrete.

№7. Fence from profile pipe and welded fence

These types of fencing -alternative to forged fence. They are much cheaper, not inferior to the basic performance, but a little easier to look. For the manufacture offence from the profile pipepipes of round or square cross-section are used. Sections of this fence are 2-3 times cheaper than the forged analog, durable, strong, do not require special care, have good aesthetic qualities.

For the manufacture ofwelded fencesuse not only pipes, but also bars and strips. The production process is fairly simple, and there are many design options. While retaining all the advantages of a forged fence, such fences cost 5 times cheaper. Can be combined with brick, stone and concrete pillars.

№8. Fence from corrugated board

Dacha fences are increasingly made from corrugated board. itsheets of steel with protective zinc or polymer coating, and they can imitate wood or stone.

Externally, the euro barrel is verylooks like a tree, but at the same timeretains all the main advantages of corrugated board.

The material present on the market can differ significantly in the way the edges are treated, the type of profile and the painting method. Sold in the form of strips up to 10 cm wide and up to 3 m in length, provides ventilation of the site and allows the sun to pass. Nevertheless, the piece fence does not provide adequate strength to the fence.

№10. Wooden fence

The wooden fence of the site is an ageless classic. Such a fence can be easily manufactured and installed with your own hands, and due to the simplicity of processing wood, you can realize almost any idea into reality. The easiest option is to buyfinished sections of wooden fencing, the choice of which without exaggeration is huge. "Shop" products, as a rule, are sections from a wooden fence of any height and width, fastened with horizontal slats. Design can be any.

Self-made wooden fence can be made fromground or unedged boards, beams or even lining. The boards can be fixed at a certain distance from each other or without gaps.A tree can be given any shapeand dye it inrequired colororvarnish, creating a fence that best matches the site in style.

• low level of protection;
• fear of fire.

A wooden fence of a small height can serve to separate adjacent areas, as well as for fencing of individual zones of the territory, flower beds, etc. The external wooden fence should have a decent height, andcombining it with concrete or stonewill provide the territory with better protection.

№11. Concrete fence, or euro fence

A concrete fence can turn a plot into an impregnable fortress. Gray boring solid reinforced concrete slabs, although they continue to be used, but are inferior in popularityprefabricated concrete euros. The latter are concrete poles and panels, which are manufactured according to standard technology, but decorative molds are used when casting. Thanks to the coloring, the euro is getting a good look and it's easycan go for a stone or brick. It can be either deaf, open or partially open.

Despite the existing shortcomings, the concrete fence isone of the best options for enclosure protection, since for a long time it will provide him with reliable protection, not requiring constant care.

№12. Fence made of brick or stone

Similar properties of brick and stone allow to combine them into one section. At the same time, it should be noted that with naturalness and higher durability of the stone, it is used quite rarely due to the high cost. To build even a small fence made of natural stone is a pleasure that not everyone can afford. A brick fence will cost less, but it will not look worse.

• strength, reliability and high level of protection;
• resistance to weather whims;
• ecological compatibility;
• excellent soundproofing qualities;
• refractoriness;
• simplicity of care;
• wide possibilities of design. You can choose any color material, choose the necessary pattern of masonry, combine a brick or stone with metal or wood.

disadvantages:

• simple care, which consists in the periodic washing of the material using a conventional garden hose;
• aesthetic appearance.

disadvantages:

• not the lowest price;
• the need to build a solid metal frame, so that from the wind and mechanical loads the sheets do not "lead
• low strength. Over time, polycarbonate will scratch, and beating or throwing stones at it is not recommended. When the material is combined with brick and wrought iron bars, this shortcoming can be substantially minimized.

№14. Fence from PVC

For a long time the plastic fences popular in Western countries have recently begun to conquer the domestic market. They are highly decorative and cansimulate the mass of natural materials, but their choice is not so great yet.
