It’s autumn, and the cottagers have significantly diminished the hassle-the crop is grown, Packed in glass jars and waiting in the pantry. It’s time to think about the repair and construction on a suburban area. For example, about the new fence.
The choice of fencing is influenced by different factors: the purpose of the fence, the style of the house, the owner’s preferences, the availability of materials. But perhaps one of the defining circumstances is the price. This material is dedicated to fences: concrete and its variations.
Options of concrete
It is not necessary to argue that a concrete fence is one of the most reliable and monumental structures used to fence a private land plot. If all the preliminary work on the Foundation calculated and performed correctly, such a barrier will reliably hide your personal space from outsiders for years to come. Concrete fences exist in several variations.
Sectional
One of the most common options — sectional concrete fences. In the majority they or self-standing (most often they are used for creation of temporary protections, for example, construction sites), or are mounted on basic (concrete) glasses.
The dimensions of a typical section are different, the cost depends on the dimensions.
Precast
In private ownership, the so-called concrete Euro-intakes have become more widespread. Their design is a small plate format, installed in a groove on the column H-shaped profile. Both plates, and columns are made of reinforced concrete.
Slabs of precast concrete fences are thinner. It is possible to raise the strength 2 — weight of one element is about 100 kg. in addition to deaf sections, in the creation of the fence can be used delicate elements, such as the first photo of this post.
The surface of plates can have the most different drawing, the most popular with imitation of a stone or brickwork. But modern manufacturers have gone even further, because concrete casting can be made with any profile. There are even options depicting wooden or forged structures.
Plates can be both unilateral, and have drawing from both parties. Such products are painted, as a rule, in the factory, so that the color emphasizes the imitation. But the concrete fence and so good that if you want they can be made of any color.
Simplicity of installation, various design and rather low cost do this type of fences very popular. And not only to create a fence around the perimeter of the site. Low concrete elements can fence flower beds or zoned area. And from deaf plates even to construct a small Lodge or garage.
Balusters
If you gravitate to the classics, then pay attention to the concrete balusters, from which you can dial the fence. Each element is individually attached to the Foundation tape, the top of the fence is completed by a horizontal profiled rod. The fence posts are decorated with classical elements (architectural fragments, balls, flowerpots).
Monolithic
The above-described varieties of concrete fences are typical solutions. They are mass-produced at the factory and only mounted on the site. Both sectional and precast concrete fence can be dismantled at any time and installed elsewhere.
Monolithic concrete fences are manufactured directly on the place shimmer in the pre-assembled formwork. Concrete wall around the perimeter of the site requires accurate calculations, because the load on it is much higher than the same height of the wall of the house.
But the result can be simply stunning, as, for example, in the project Slit house of Japanese architects. Since these fences are always individual, it is difficult to specify the cost.
Fences concrete slabs
In addition to structures of reinforced concrete, designed specifically to create fences for the device of fences used, and other cement slab. For example, fiber cement siding, cement particle Board, slate-both flat and wavy.
The cost of such a fence depends on the price of the source material and the method of installation. When calculating the cost of fencing, do not forget about the price of poles and fasteners, and also include the cost of work, if you do not plan to make a fence with your own hands.
That’s all about concrete fences. Next time I will tell you about the fences of various plastic.
