Wood is one of the most sought-after materials in the construction of anything. Including the fence. It is not difficult to build a wooden fence with your own hands. And if you turn on the imagination, then the fence can turn out to be very attractive. Let's see how to do it?

Pros and cons of a wooden fence

Wood is an inexpensive and easy-to-install material. Just decorate it. It is for these reasons that a fence made of this material can be found everywhere.

Of course, there are more durable and practical ones on the market. Construction Materials such as metal, corrugated board, brick, stone and others. But the tree does not lose its positions. The advantages include the following factors:

1. This is an environmentally friendly material.
2. It has unique decorative qualities.
3. The various textures and shades that wood species possess can also be attributed to pluses.
4. Wood is easy to handle and install.
5. If needed partial renovation, then it will not present any difficulties.
6. The price that a wooden fence will cost you is small.
7. An excellent combination with any other building materials is another advantage.

Everything would be fine, but the tree also has disadvantages.

1. Wood is a combustible material.
2. It does not tolerate climatic factors without special treatments.
3. Pests such as termites are very fond of settling in it.
4. The tree is rotting.
5. The fragility of the material in comparison with others is another significant drawback.

To make the tree more resistant to various natural phenomena, fire and insects, it can be treated with antipyrine, antiseptic compounds and agents that repel pests.

To extend the life of the tree, some more actions are taken.

• To prevent wooden support poles and picket fences from rotting and soaking, the upper ends are closed with plastic or other plugs.
• A gap of 15 centimeters is left between the bottom edge of the fence and the soil for the same reason.
• Mow all vegetation near the fence regularly.
• The crossbars and the places where they are attached to the supports must always be under control.

Varieties of wooden fences

Constructive solutions for the formation of a wooden fence are very diverse. To choose a fence for certain place, you need to understand what role he will play in the allotted area.

• They can mark territory.
• With it, you can hide your privacy from prying eyes.
• To prevent unauthorized entry, the fence can also play a role.
• Some soundproofing.
• Protects from the wind.
• You can fence off possible dangerous areas, such as roads, cliffs along the banks of rivers and lakes, steep slopes, etc.
• And, of course, the fence is a kind of decoration suburban area.

There are deaf, lattice and combined fences.

Don't forget that appearance the fence itself should harmoniously fit into that landscape and design decoration that is already on your site.

Table: types of fences

Name	Description
classic fence	This is a simple solid or ventilated structure, the supports of which are made of wood or metal. The supports are concreted into the ground. It has wooden cross-sections, and it is sheathed with standard boards.
Fence	Can be vertical and horizontal. It is sheathed with a picket fence - thin strips, the upper ends of which can go at right angles or have a bevel. When sheathing between the planks, you can leave gaps, or you can not leave them.
Lattice	The lattice fence is sheathed with planks (slats) of the same width, which are installed crosswise to each other in a vertical or horizontal position. They are also sometimes set at an angle of 45 degrees. Between the slats, you can leave a gap or do without it. Planks are mounted with the same pitch or formed into small groups. Thus, an attractive fence is obtained.
Chess	Chess order of installation of slats - distinguishing feature this fence. Reiki can be deafly adjacent to each other or a gap can be left between them. A slight displacement of the fence fabric in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction is done when it is installed.
Ladder	It bears another name "Christmas tree". Gaps are left between the cladding elements of this fence or they are fixed with an overlap. During their installation, a certain angle along the longitudinal axis is observed. Calibrated spacers ensure the rotation of the fence slats.
Network	Such a fence is made using thin planks or vine branches. They braid in the vertical or horizontal direction the standing ribs in the supporting frame. Such a fence is quite complicated in construction. But it has such advantages as resistance to mechanical stress and bright decorative qualities.
Palisade	This is a solid fence made of logs. Its upper ends are pointed. These are strong and formidable fences. They will well cover the area from passing people and have excellent wind and sound insulation qualities.
Log paving	In such a fence, logs are mounted tightly to each other in a horizontal direction. Logs can be used whole or they can be sawn along the longitudinal axis. This fence is a serious barrier for an intruder. In addition, she hides what is happening behind the walls from the eyes of strangers.
"Ranch"	Fence with an open type. Several crossbars in it are fastened with lags, which are located in a diagonal direction. Such a fence can limit a private area or protect it from the fact that large animals get there.
"Cross"	The supporting structures of this version of the fence are most often installed on a separate tape basis. Side grooves are made in the supports, where the longitudinal parts of the skin are inserted. These can be fence boards or timber with the appropriate thickness.

Preparatory work

You need to start with design. Having a cadastral plan for the fenced area will play into your hands. It has all the necessary measurements. If you do not have a plan, then you will have to carry out all the measuring work yourself.

Calculate the perimeter of the area you are going to fence. This must be done with maximum precision, as this is the basis of the project. Make a diagram of the site, for example, on a scale of 1:200 and transfer all measurements to it. This must be done so that later it will be easier for you to calculate how many sections you need for the fence.

If you have all the materials and tools prepared in advance, this will simplify and speed up the construction work. To choose the right raw materials, even at the planning stage, thoroughly think through all the points.

• Decide what kind of raw materials you need support posts.
• Decide how they will be mounted.
• Calculate how many support posts you will need, what sizes the sections will be, the number of transverse logs needed for the fence.
• Consider the material of the fence sheathing and how much you will need.
• Decide how the transverse logs and sheathing will be installed.
• Select and purchase fasteners.

Choosing materials

Most often, a metal profile pipe is used as support posts, the cross section of which is 6x6 centimeters for the corners of the structure and 5x5 centimeters for intermediate supports.

If they are properly prepared and correctly mounted, then such supports can serve you for more than thirty years.

If the soil of your site is inactive, and the groundwater lies below 150 centimeters, then the supports can be installed using the backfilling method or partially concreted.

If the length of the fence section is 250 centimeters, and its height is 180 centimeters, then the transverse logs are best made from wooden beams. Their cross section should be at least 4x4 centimeters.

Calculations

Creating a reliable, strong and durable fence depends on several design requirements.

How to sheathe a fence?

Most often, outdoor fences are sheathed with spruce, pine, cedar and other coniferous wood. They have a higher protective function. If decor is more important to you, then sheathe hardwoods trees: oak, beech, ash or birch.

One of the best cladding options is cedar wood, which not only has a good protective function, but also has a bright and beautiful texture, high wear resistance. But it is an expensive and rare material.

Oak is also an expensive material, so you can rarely meet a fence from it.

The remaining materials, although they have high flexibility and strength, do not tolerate moisture very well and require additional processing.

The most affordable and cheapest wood option is spruce and pine.

They contain a lot of resin, which protects the material from moisture, mold, and decay. Spruce is easier to saw because it is softer than pine. True, spruce has much more knots.

Woods such as spruce and pine crack a lot due to the nature of the fibers and the high number of knots compared to other woods. Experts advise purchasing this raw material with a margin, since some of it will inevitably be spoiled.

We calculate the amount of sheathing material

This is the last stage, which can be attributed to the design and preparatory work.

Do not forget to purchase a small supply in case of damage to the main material.

List of tools

All tools are also better prepared in advance. Construction works for the construction of a wooden fence include the presence of:

• Electric jigsaw.
• Circular saw with discs for cutting metal products.
• Welding machine.
• Hacksaws for wood products.
• Electric drills with drills for wood and metal.
• Shovels and scrap.
• Garden earth drill.
• Hammer and pliers.
• Screwdriver set.
• A set of wrenches.
• Electric planer.
• Wood emery.
• Brushes that will need to be processed wooden surfaces protective compounds and paint them.
• Building level and plumb.
• measuring cord.
• Construction tape measure.

Do not forget about the purchase of fasteners. A simple fence can be fixed with ordinary galvanized nails, but the use of self-tapping screws and bolted joints will make the structure stronger and more durable. For bolt holes, it is necessary to prepare through holes in the picket fence strips and lags in advance.

We mark the territory

Marking is carried out using wooden and metal pegs, the length of which is 600 millimeters. They are driven into the corners of the perimeter. Between these pegs you need to pull the rope.

Then determine the place where the gate will be located and entrance gate(if provided). The gate usually has a width of 100-150 centimeters, and the gate 200-250 centimeters. This is average data. In any case, these dimensions are individual.

When marking out the area, take into account the thickness of future support pillars or the width of the foundation if a fence is planned to be built on it. The marks must be placed in two rows, indicating the outer and inner edges of the supports or base.

Stages of building a wooden fence in the country with their own hands

This process is conditionally divided into 3 stages:

1. Supports are being installed.
2. Cross bars are installed.
3. The frame is sheathed.

Installation of supports by backfilling

Experts advise moistening each layer of the pillow with water so that it lies more densely. And waterproof the support posts in those places where they will be dug into the ground.

When it comes to the fence of the estate, the board is most often relegated to the last plan. This material is considered by many to be temporary and not a creative option.

However, in last years the design of wooden fences has changed significantly. From primitive "ladders" they turned into masterpieces of wooden architecture. Excellent appearance, ease of installation and minimal cost attract the attention of many owners of suburban housing.

In this article, we bring to your attention an overview of modern board fences and practical advice for their manufacture. We hope that after getting acquainted with the options presented, you will change your mind and build a beautiful and practical wooden fence in the country with your own hands.

Plank fence options

In order to install wooden fence no need to strain your imagination and test your design talents. Dozens of interesting types of fences have already been built and photographed.

The easiest option is a horizontal slab fence. Its cost is minimal, and the aesthetic qualities are high. Before installation, the slab must be ennobled by grinding, tinted by firing and varnished. Otherwise, its external will be associated with pasture for livestock.

One more piece of advice. A wooden fence made of unedged boards looks perfect with wooden buildings. In the photo below White color the walls of the mansion and the columns of the entrance group do not fit well with the wooden fence.

Slab fence - simple, inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing

In the design under consideration, the runs from the boards are fixed between two wooden posts. The ends of the racks are protected from rain by an inclined bar. The most vulnerable point - the contact of wood and concrete requires high-quality insulation. Here you need to use modern antiseptic impregnations or coating with hot bitumen.

The slab, peeled from the bark and overlapped, looks very nice in the fence. He is nailed to wooden poles. The edged board covers the front joint. An easy-to-make plank canopy crowns the structure.

Another interesting option- "artificial" croaker. In this case, the edges of the boards are cut so that they form a symmetrical pattern.

To create a color contrast, the wooden linings on the poles are treated with a dark stain.

The "decorative turn" method is equally acceptable for both slab and edged boards. In the latter case, we get an aesthetic fence-blinds. When viewed directly, he looks deaf. However, due to the gaps between the slats, this design is not only well ventilated, but also partially transmits the sun's rays.

Weaving plants love these fences and quickly turn them into flowering trellises.

Fragment of the design of the fence-blinds from the edged board

In passing, we note that best base for fixing fence boards - metal posts. A compromise option is to embed steel clips in concrete from scraps of a profile pipe. Wooden racks are inserted into them and fixed with self-tapping screws.

A bit of imagination and a nondescript obapol croaker turns into a designer picket fence guarding the “kingdom of Berendey”.

Poles for such a fence can be cut from a cheap round timber thinner. The natural form of this material will fit perfectly into the "country design" chosen for this fence.

The classic picket fence (planed board with a rounded edge) remains a relevant element of the fence structure. The only condition is not to paint it with dull green or brown paint. It is better to treat the planks with an antiseptic and open them with a good varnish a couple of times. Wood after such refinement will sparkle with golden hues and will last 10 years longer.

If you prefer tinted wood, then use dark brown paint for this purpose. It will reliably protect the fence from moisture and give it a noble look.

A blank edged fence looks better when the vertical slats are overlapped on both sides rather than on one side. This editing scheme creates a rhythmic stepped structure. The ends of the boards are covered from above with a planed plank. A decorative framing belt is also mounted at the bottom of the fence.

A blind fence will not look boring if arched lattices from a thin plank are introduced into its design scheme.

Arched lattice inserts eliminate the monotony of a blind fence

When choosing material for the fence, pay attention to the terrace board. It is strong, expressive and durable. Attach it to metal posts installed in a concrete foundation.

The photo below shows a double-sided version. horizontal mounting terrace board (fence-American). To increase rigidity in the middle part of the spans there are vertical bars.

Decking fence - 50 year guarantee

Such a fence cannot be called cheap, but it is very durable and beautiful. Terrace board It is made from a colored wood-polymer composite and does not need to be painted.

In the fence structure, the board can be combined with a bar. Below we see a variant of the fence, in which the beam is installed on the outside, and the board is nailed on the inside. Its joints are not visible, because they are covered by a beam. Brown tinted wood in contrast with the white plinth gives the structure a solid and solid look.

From the facade, this fence is made solid. There is no railing on the side of the board at the bottom. This decision was made to improve the ventilation of the site.

Russia is far from America, but the romance of cowboy ranches has reached us. On a spacious plot, remote from other buildings, a low country-style fence looks great. Its base is thick wooden poles, to which three belts of boards are horizontally nailed on one side. In the upper part, a wooden plank is launched crosswise, closing the open "windows" of the sections.

Wicker board fences

If someone tells you that you can weave fences from a board, don't hesitate. Today it is the most fashionable topic. A wicker fence made of boards looks great, and there are many options for its installation.

The board for the wicker fence should not be very thick. Therefore, having bought a trimmed "thirty" in the warehouse, you can safely plan it on both sides to a thickness of 25 mm. The optimal width of the bar is from 8 to 10 cm.

The simplest version of such a fence resembles the wall of a summer gazebo. Having made openwork panels from wooden lamellas, they are attached to the pillars. For contrast, you can nail a frame from a dark board along the contour.

Plank fence with a diamond pattern is elegant and light

The wooden fence post is antiseptic and concreted in the ground

And here is another, no less interesting plank wickerwork.

Here, a thin planed board 25 mm thick and 2.5 meters long is staggered to the posts. The bend gives it original way installation: the ends of the boards are alternately fastened on one side and on the other side of the wooden rack. In the middle part of the span there is a vertical rail that fixes the bend. Places of fastening of boards to racks are covered by laths.

Vertical weaving from boards looks no worse. In this case, the answer to the question of which board is better to use for the fence is obvious: at a length of 2 meters, the bar is most easily bent, no more than 16 mm thick and 8 cm wide.

A wicker fence is good for everyone, but it can also be improved by combining it with a picket fence.

Such a design is quite difficult to install, but its picturesque appearance justifies all the effort expended.

The original version of the fence, combining weaving from boards with double-sided installation picket fence

Those who wish to build an exclusive fence from boards should contact experienced master. Only he will be able to assemble the construction depicted in this photo.

Each board for such a fence is cut separately, based on the section template. At its ends and side faces, connecting spikes are cut, with which the boards are connected to each other according to the principle of puzzles, attached to the pillars and to the lower belt.

The advice that we gave in the course of the article should be supplemented with the parameters of the main elements of the board fence:

• The size of the cross section of wooden poles is 10x10 cm.
• In case of use for racks steel profile its cross section must be at least 40x40 mm (wall 2 mm).
• Horizontal crossbars (runs) must have a cross section of at least 30x50 mm with a rack spacing of 2 meters.
• For ease of installation of wooden girders, mounting plates “ears” with holes drilled in them for self-tapping screws must be welded to steel racks.

At the stage of purchasing materials, the question arises of how to calculate how many boards are needed for the fence. It is solved simply. If the fence is solid, then its total length must be multiplied by the height and thickness of the purchased board.

For a lattice fence from a picket fence, the calculation is done differently. Taking into account the selected step of the slats, their number is determined by 1 running meter fences. The resulting pieces are multiplied by the total length of the fence, and if necessary, converted to cubic meters, multiplying the total area by the thickness of one plank.

Another important point- how to paint a fence from boards? If you save on the quality of the paint, then the fence will have to be updated more often. Therefore, we recommend buying expensive paint for outdoor use. Before applying it, treat the board with hot drying oil or antiseptic impregnation. The consumption of paint and impregnation will be minimal when applied to a planed board. Consider this nuance when choosing a material.

Considering the large area of ​​the wooden fence, you need to paint it with a roller or spray gun. Omissions and flaws made during work are corrected with a paint brush.

Types of fences

There are many fences that can have one or more functions to choose from, whether you want more privacy on your property, block out cold winds or hide the street. Consider your main goal: organizing your own space in the backyard, isolating from neighbors, or organizing a dog's life.

Advice

The difficult stage of installation is a choice right design so that it performs its assigned functions and matches the landscape. Take the time to look at the types of fencing in your area to get ideas. Photos in design magazines will also broaden your horizons for choosing the right fence.

Fence

Many people think of a fence as defining the boundary of a property and protecting the homeowner's privacy. While a fence can serve these functions, the more common reason people choose a picket fence is to improve the beauty of the yard. The fencing expert is landscape designer, not a home security contractor.

Picket fence is often used in combination with flowers, shrubs or vines.. Made in white, it will look beautiful with different flower combinations. The nature of this type of fence is to give your home an unassuming rustic feel that will be welcoming to neighbors. Many homeowners also find picket fence to work well with stone walls.

fence on poles

Perhaps the simplest fence is on poles and slats. The pillars are connected by one, two or three horizontal rails. Like the picket fence, poles with slats perform mainly a decorative task, but unlike the former, they have a much more open space.

Thus, the search for a fence to decorate a garden or a certain landscape area can be stopped at this type of fence. But if needed decorative fence, which still provides some degree of privacy and privacy, then a picket fence is suitable for these needs.

How to choose?

There are many reasons for building a fence, all of which are important to property owners. Those who have dogs often do not have enough time to properly look after them. So, what other reasons for erecting a fence do we usually have:

• Safety of children, pets outdoors.
• Privacy while outdoors.
• Improvement general view your house.
• Blocking noise from a busy street.
• Need a clear separation from neighbors.

With the right choice of fence, you will receive your small world, which will shape the atmosphere inside, as well as order and certain boundaries.

Simply put, with the right fencing, you will build a wall around your property that will make it a fortress - in one sense or another of the concept.

But not all railings work for wood architectural style. The utilitarian look of the chain-link mesh will downgrade the status of a charming little cottage. Likewise, a modest picket fence would look out of place around an industrial-style townhouse.

There are too many fence styles, so it's hard to list them all in one place. But some trends and classic designs definitely deserve our attention.

Here are some examples to spark your imagination.

When privacy is needed

Protective - this is the main type of fencing in the suburbs, which is suitable for almost any architectural style. They provide full or partial privacy and are available in heights up to 3 meters in some areas.

This type is suitable for the backyard, but will not necessarily be best idea for the front of your property. If you need to block all the view from the street, which, however, depends on where you live.

There is an interesting artistic twist in fencing design that is taking off. Other than installing a traditional wood or vinyl panel fence, there are other things to consider. For example, horizontal slats, carved panels, marbled glass inserts that refract sunlight, make it sparkle.

When you need aesthetics

Chain link fences can keep even a determined guard dog at bay, and children can play safely within the sturdy structure.

It is not surprising, but the chain-link looks most aesthetically pleasing when it is complemented cultivated plants. For a pleasing yard to look at, we recommend putting flowering vines on the chain link.. Suitable for example:

• clematis;
• alpine roses;
• wisteria;
• moon flowers.

All of them can turn a simple fence into something amazing.

Since the material that makes up the mesh fence is strong enough, the homeowner does not have to worry about vines weakening it. The big draw here is the privacy and shadow that a simple grid design lacks.

When you need charm

The character of traditionally short open picket fences has a casual and even rustic feel to it, so the house's wooden architectural style will complement it. A vernacular tiled house looks especially pretty with a picket fence spanning the edge of the front yard.

If you have a garden, a picket fence will create a charming border around any plants and keep them safe.

When elegance is needed

Most spectacular style These are wrought iron fences. Some of them are high, others are short, and others decorate only the tops of the wooden fence, edging its perimeter. This style serves two main purposes: it protects property and it looks amazing.

Almost any wrought-iron fence is suitable for traditional-style houses. However, it should be borne in mind that for property made in modern design, you will need a more modern wrought iron fence without intricate lines and swirls.

Advice

If you have an unattractive but functional fence, you can make it better by adding decorative touches or covering it with wrought iron vines.

8 types of fences for the house

Another thing to consider when designing fences is wealth. available materials. The most popular types of fences for wooden houses are as follows:

From a tree, cedar is best suited. It has a beautiful, natural look, the oils in the wood repel insect infestation, and it is resistant to rot. For a maintenance-free and attractive solution, consider aluminum or vinyl fencing. It can be made to look like any material, even natural wood although colors will be limited.

White is pretty much all you need. Make sure you get high quality materials, as rust and other damage can come at a cost if you try to cut corners by buying cuttable materials.

Advice

Consider your budget when deciding which fence to install. Installation cost depends on the material. To choose the best option, here are the most popular materials, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Aluminum is one of the simplest, most convenient types of fencing.

Minuses:

• difficult to install, you will have to involve a professional;
• prone to damage though depending on the quality.

Maintenance for it will only be required during installation, or when you decide to paint it. However, it is not as strong as you might think, it is not recommended for areas with a harsh climate.

Tree

It gives homeowners the height they need, has the most beautiful models on the market, best fits under wooden facade. The tree also gives a warm, welcoming look without requiring a high investment.

However, you must remember that the height and size of your fence will significantly affect the price. The more lumber needed, the more expensive the project will be. Also, like all fences, it will take time to install. Therefore, a low fence will be clearly cheaper than a larger one.

Pros:

• stable material, has the lowest purchase price, installation;
• easy to install, repair;
• comes in all shapes and sizes;
• you can create your own configuration as wood is a versatile material;
• the tree can be painted to create an updated overall look.

Minuses

• require regular maintenance;
• despite the fact that it is processed, the wood eventually crumbles;
• Fasteners can loosen over time as wood contracts and expands with changing weather.

However, you can extend the life of your wooden fence by applying additional procedures, including the application of a sealant.

The positive side of wood installations is that they can last the lifetime of your home. Like parquet floors , quality wooden installation will depend on the type of tree you are using.

PVC

Most cheap way make a fence - use PVC. It is used instead wooden planks and the picket fence, although less durable, it can serve its purpose. The PVC poles go on top of the wood poles to add stability, but also to cut down on material costs by using less wood.

Sometimes the PVC is attached with glue to the cross rods, sometimes they are attached with screws. This type of fence has different heights and colors. Due to the completely plastic canvas, such a fence will be very resistant to natural phenomena and can last for years.

wrought iron

When you see a hedge with intricate patterns at the top, it's most likely a wrought iron installation. Although wrought iron looks quite stylish and beautiful, it requires constant maintenance. If you want to keep this beauty, then wrought iron fences need to be sanded and repainted every two to three years.

Wrought iron is unpopular with conservative homeowners. In addition, wrought iron fences are made to order and therefore will not be cheap.

Vinyl

Manufacturers claim that vinyl fencing is up to five times stronger and four times more flexible than wood.

Vinyl fencing is not required Maintenance and resistant to paint, making it easy to clean graffiti or any other unwanted stains. All you need is a hose and soap to make your fence look like new again.

Pros:

• rarely warps, no cracks from exposure to climatic conditions;
• non-staining, does not require maintenance;
• Besides mimicking almost any other material, vinyl fencing is available in an endless array of designs and colors;
• lightweight and extremely durable.

Minuses:

• like any plastic, vinyl becomes brittle over time;
• may crack or break under too much pressure due to its hollow structure.

Electric fencing

The invisible fence is mainly used to contain dogs, it maintains control over them through an invisible field of electricity. Typically, installation involves placing wire in a trench dug along the boundary that the owner wants to fence off. To activate the wire, a wireless transmitter is also set up nearby.

How to build a wooden fence with your own hands?

Wooden fencing is the most popular type used for wooden houses.. It is quite easy to erect, although, like all outdoor wooden structures, it will need constant maintenance over the years.

Here we'll take a look at how to install a wood panel fence, however these tips and instructions can be adapted for metal fences or more decorative hedges in your garden.

There are several different ways to install a panel fence, and this requires a variety of tools and materials. Our example is a panel fence that has:

• wooden poles;
• stakes fixed in the ground using concrete;
• wooden panels that are attached to posts using nails;
• without the use of gravel.

The first step is to determine how to build a fence so that it is sufficient, but not excessive in length. Think about how high a fence needs to be to provide privacy. Have an assistant walk around the perimeter with a cardboard sample showing the height of the proposed fence. Sitting and standing, keep an eye on the view above the cardboard as it moves to determine the amount of privacy your fence will actually provide.

This way you can quickly decide where it needs to be higher, or immediately make it equally high to hide the entire yard. Then consider alternatives such as fast growing trees or shrubs that are not subject to height restrictions.

Necessary tools and materials

It is believed that best time The year for erecting a fence is early spring or late autumn, to allow plants disturbed by interference to recover in the summer.

Before starting work, it is important to carry out some necessary actions:

• discuss plans with neighbors if construction will take place next to their property;
• check the exact line of the boundary, as the fence may not have been built along the exact lines that match the property;
• make sure the fence is yours before dismantling it. If it belongs to a neighbor, then you may have to build next to your side of the border.

There is an unwritten rule that good neighbor puts up a fence with a post and partitions facing their own property, but this is not a legal obligation. (The location of the posts will help you find out who owns the fence if the builder is unknown).

Is planning permission required?

As a general rule, planning permission is not required for a fence less than 2 meters high. However, it will be required if the boundary line is on a highway or highway footpath and you want to install a 2m fence or add a fence over 1m high.

The territory of a private house or cottage is always transformed when decorative vegetation spreads on it with green waves. abundance of flowers, fruit trees, or neat beds with all your favorite vegetables, greens and berries, always pleases the eye. Using bio-primer, https://bio-grunt.ru/torf-kupit.html, it will not be difficult to grow and maintain all this in a more diverse, in the best condition. But it is also important to protect and preserve the site from uninvited guests and unwanted weeds. In this article, we will look at how to make a fence with your own hands that will protect the fragrant, green variety of your backyard.

It is not surprising that for people who have the opportunity to buy a land plot and build a residential building on it, it will not be difficult to protect it. The only question is what material to do it?

Unlike cottages for several families, where the care of this lies on the shoulders of the construction organization, in the particular case, everything depends on the personal desire of the homeowner.

A rather high percentage of owners of country cottages today choose corrugated board as the most economical option. This is done quickly and does not require large financial costs. However, in the end, the appearance of such a structure creates some kind of fence from the outside world. Trying to avoid the factor of a kind of isolation and monotony, they prefer to install wood fences.

Main functions and design solutions

Wood is a special material. In working with him gives rise to many design ideas. Sometimes it is very difficult to decide which design is most suitable. To facilitate the task, you need to decide what functions should be performed.

Most often, the main ones are: determining the boundaries of the site; protection against the penetration of strangers into the territory, as well as persons located within the personal territory; noise and wind protection; restriction of access to travel roads; creating a decorative background.

Structural solutions are presented in three definitions of external forms: blind closed, lattice type with gaps and combined (for example, paired with a brick).

Choosing the type of fencing

An additional component is the choice of execution option. If you do not get carried away by listing all types and focus on one particular one, then, perhaps, most often they prefer the “classics”. Solid or with gaps, sheathed with edged boards.

Initial construction stage

If at the same time there are fears that you can accidentally capture part of someone else's territory, then for insurance it is better to get a cadastral plan. Be sure to set the height, size and place where the gate will stand on the diagram.

Can be applied conventions all overall structures, houses, extensions, and landing sites located on the site (garden, kitchen garden). This will help visualize the future picture and possibly make some adjustments.

Material selection

Most often suitable for corner support posts profile pipe square section 60x60 mm. For the rest of the racks, which are located between the corner ones at an equal distance from each other, a profile pipe with a section of 50x50 mm is suitable.

For the "classics" coniferous spruce, cedar or pine are more suitable. Fine strong wood, without a doubt, is better for performing protective functions. Usually they are in the lead due to their protection from dampness and decay. An additional advantage is their low price.

The main stages of work on the construction of the fence

The direct construction itself includes three stages, which have already been mentioned above: the installation of support pillars, the fastening of the transverse logs and the sheathing of the frame.

Each of them contains a certain range of works. In general, the workflow includes the following steps:

• Wooden or metal pegs are driven into the markings. A twine is stretched between them;
• Holes are pre-dug to a depth of 0.8 meters. At the bottom of each of them, a sandy bed 10-15 centimeters thick is arranged. Next, the profile pipe is installed and fixed. The pit is covered with rubble to a height of twenty-five centimeters. Produce a thorough tamping. Fix the supports and pour them with concrete;
• Cross beams are being installed. Fastening is carried out using metal corners (35x35). Each support has two corners;
• They make either a solid sheathing of the frame, or with alternating boards. The top can be either a straight line, or with protrusions of supports above the skin by 10-15 centimeters;
• Since the material is wood, it is necessary to treat it with fire-fighting agents;

For painting, it is best to purchase special paint compositions recommended for such surfaces and designed for any atmospheric influence(sun, rain, wind).

Painting is considered an economical option. Dark tones are always more popular. After all, this is an outdoor structure and is not immune from dust and dirt, and accordingly light colors create a risk of repainting.

Advantages and disadvantages of a wooden fence

During the installation and operation of such a fence, one can come to a logical conclusion about the main advantages and evaluate them no longer unfounded, but taking into account their direct participation in its construction.

The list of advantages includes the following components: environmental friendliness, variety of tree species, relatively low labor intensity for installation, easy solution to the problem of replacement.

In addition to the positive aspects, the design has its drawbacks. These include the following: fire hazard (special treatment is needed), susceptibility to decay (small pests can settle in the pores), low service life.
