For many dacha and its land begins with the designation of the boundaries of the site, that is, with the installation of the fence. To protect himself from the shameless passers-by, striving to “cut” the road, their curious glances, from wandering domestic and wild animals. In the end — that their children do not run around the neighborhood. Well, in order to warm up the private instinct: when you see the boundaries of their possessions, clearly marked by a fence, the soul becomes calmer and more pleasant.
Like almost everything in our world, the fence is worth the money. And sometimes considerable, given its possible length. Sometimes, the question is acute: the fence is necessary,and funds for it are not enough. It makes no sense to install an expensive fence and capital if the construction and improvement of the site in full swing.
The issue of savings in the country economy is important, regardless of the level of welfare of the owner. Billionaire Warren Buffett is credited with a phrase better known from the disney cartoon about the duck Scrooge McDuck: “Saved dollar-earned dollar.” So why pay more if you can figure out how to save. Of course, everyone has different views on the concept of “cheaper”, and probably it would be better to make a comparative price list in which everyone can choose an option for themselves.
Why you need a fence
What reason was the main motive in fence structure depend on its physical and technical characteristics, and hence the cost. Therefore, choosing options, it is necessary to determine the actual need, and not to proceed from the considerations that”the fence is needed and all.”
You want a visual border “mine is someone else’s”
This case is the simplest-enough symbolic fence of a small height of the most accessible materials.
It is likely that such a visual boundary line can be arranged by simply planting flowers around the perimeter of the site. Unfortunately, this option – from fiction, at least in most everyday situations of real life. But if you soberly estimated circumstances and decided to designate borders, decorative fences will be useful to you.
Construction site fencing
According to the law, construction sites must be fenced in order to avoid accidents with strangers. However, it concerns big projects, and instructions concerning obligation of fencing of low-rise private construction didn’t come across to me.
But the construction site of the house is also worth enclosing: for the same reasons of safety and some guarantee of the safety of materials. As well as to avoid possible territorial disputes in the newly formed settlements, where the boundaries between the sites have not yet been formed. It may be economically justified to rent temporary construction fences.
Restriction of movement of animals
If your site is not on the way of seasonal migration of elephants, the netting can cope with this task: foreign goats, wild ROE deer, hares, running dogs, own chickens will not pass. But to protect themselves from foreign penetration cats fail, because they will not save, in my opinion, and a four-meter blank wall.
Suitable for protection from animals and all other options fences, including hedges — in most cases, animals do not go where they can not pass freely. Therefore, the size of the gaps between the elements of the fence should be selected depending on the size of those from whom you want to protect your site or prevent their uncontrolled access to the street.
The same applies to children: consider the design of the fence, insurmountable for young scoundrels.
From evil eye and simple curiosity
Fans will stop peeping opaque design. Of course, the ideal option would be a blind fence, for example, of corrugated Board.
But this method is not always possible by law. Therefore, use a grid, for example, — facade. Or grow a thick row of bushes.
From bad people
The protection will help, as they say, from honest people — from insignificant theft of that on a site “badly lies”. If you are planning to Rob purposefully, and will not save the banking security system. Therefore, it is hardly necessary to turn your site into a sensitive object, entangling it around the perimeter with barbed wire.
The fence is beautiful
A neat fence adorns the plot, completing and complementing the image of the house — like a beautiful silk scarf suit. Therefore, if you are not threatened by all of the above misfortunes, do not deny yourself the pleasure of having a beautiful fence.
How much is the fence?
Having defined the concept of the future fence, move on to the second parameter of choice — cost. It depends, of course, on the material and design, but still the main pricing factor-the length of the fence.
If you have a large plot, it is advisable to consider several combined options to, for example, more front to make only part of the fence, and the rest of the site to use less expensive materials. Or a fence facing the street, arrange deaf (to protect themselves from noise and dust), because it is allowed, and the distinction between neighbors, as prescribed by the rules — mesh.
Wooden fence
The traditional material for fences is wood. There are many types of wooden enclosing structures. This is a classic picket fence (vertically arranged boards, fixed with uniform intervals), and all sorts of wooden structures in different directions of the boards and the degree of transparency.
If you have the time and carpentry and construction skills, you can reduce costs by buying material at the nearest sawmill and erecting a fence yourself. For example, using an unedged Board (wane).
Even more reduce costs, and even reduce them to the cost of fasteners will allow the creation of a fence in ethnic style. This can be a variety of options for fences, the so-called Norwegian fence, fences in the style of ranches and other exotic-looking fence.
The material for this kind of fencing can serve as poles, branches, saws trunks — all that is found on the running site when it is cleared or in the vicinity.
For someone it will be a great way out in a situation where you need a temporary fence. In another case, the original fence will decorate the site, its stylistic dominant.
Metal fence
Today, the phrase “metal fence” most associated fence of corrugated Board. And it is not surprising — it is one of the most popular materials for the device of protections: sufficient durability, simplicity and speed of installation, presentable appearance, and the main thing — the price.
In addition to the blank fence of steel profiled sheet, you can look at other proposals — to the metal fence and the fence of metal blinds. Both options are similar to each other: filling the fence section is profiled slats, fixed with a certain rhythm.
The metal picket fence, as well as it is necessary to the picket fence, consists of vertical laths, and the fence-blinds — from located horizontally.
It is necessary to mention the forged fences. Of course, manual forging of author’s work costs a lot of money.
Today, a blacksmith can feel anyone who has the skills of a welder. If you want to make such a fence with your own hands, you will only have to buy ready-made decorative parts, steel bar and strip. Self-made fence of forged elements will be cheaper by about a third.
