The main functions of fence are designation of borders of the country site and its protection against uninvited guests. Fences can gather from various materials. But the simplest in mounting and inexpensive option of fence is, of course, wooden.

Types of wooden fences there is set. But the most popular types of such fences are the wattle fence and the fence. Such options of protections are established on country sites most often.

Advantages of fences of this type are first of all the low cost of mounting and pretty esthetic exterior. Shtaketnikovy fences reliably protect the territory of the country site from large pets and at the same time practically do not shade landing.

Too high such fences usually do not do. All of them cannot equally perform function of protection of the site against foreign views. Most often fences of this type have height no more than 1.5-2 meters.

The parent materials used for production of such fences are the bar and rather narrow board fence. Breeds of tree it is allowed to apply any to assembly of fences of this version. But most often fences fences do of the inexpensive pine or fir-tree timber which is well transferring the increased humidity and strong temperature drops.

It is necessary to count quantity of this type of bar, necessary for production of wooden fence, taking into account that its racks should be established with step no more than 2-3 m. The fence is bought with that calculation that it was enough for all perimeter of fence at installation at distance in 2-10 cm.

Make board fence fence on the country site with use of such technology:

At the final stage such fence is usually painted. If desired it is also possible to cut off shtaketina, for example, semicircle from column to column, having made fence top figured. Such fence will look more effectively and originally.

For performance of this operation it will be necessary to prepare large number of pegs and inelastic cord. Also the tape measure of 20 m is required.

Pegs when performing marking establish previously on site corners. At the same time use the construction square. Then on site perimeter on angular pegs pull cord. Further in those places where in the subsequent rod posts will be located, drive in additional pegs reference points.

Basic elements of wooden fence usually make of bar 100х100 or 150х150 mm thick. It is undesirable to use thinner material for this purpose. Otherwise the fence in the subsequent can turn out unstable.

Instead of bar under columns of fence fence it is possible to take, for example, old pipes or not too thick logs. The main thing is to use rather strong and durable material for support of such fence.

Under columns at production of fence dig out poles of 40х40 cm from 1 m in depth. On their bottom fill crushed stone layer in 20-25 cm of Tu part of bar which will be in the subsequent underground, process bituminous mastic, drying oil or, for example, the fulfilled lubricating oil.

Further each column is established in hole and fall asleep with crushed stone with tamper. Metal pipes before mounting process anticorrosive structures. Such support at installation need to be concreted with use of the cement slurry prepared in proportion 1:4. 

At installation of both stacked, and metal columns surely it is necessary to use level. Accurate and reliable the fence fence will turn out only provided that its support will be mounted strictly vertically.

At production of standard fencing fence, only two cross-pieces — from below and from above usually jam. But if the fence has height from 2 m, such elements it is desirable to use three.

To wooden columns of cross-piece usually fix by means of galvanized nails. On metal support such elements fix by means of bolts. At the same time on support above and below previously weld horizontal short strips.

It is necessary to mount cross-pieces, of course, strictly horizontally, with use of level. Otherwise in the subsequent the fence will look inaccurately.

Shtaketina to cross-pieces it is also possible to fix galvanized nails. At the same time it is desirable to use rather long fastening elements. The nail which has left from reverse side in the subsequent just is bent by the hammer and utaplivatsya in cross-piece. Thus it is possible to make more reliable fence.

It is possible to fill shtaketina on cross-pieces as on the one hand, and from both. Double fences are, of course, more expensive unary. But also they look more solid and thorough.

Anti-fungal structures timber processes usually even before assembly of fence. At final stage it is desirable in addition also to paint fence. Such versions LKM as are considered as suitable for finishing of fences, for example:

The LKM last type for coloring of fences is used seldom. Oil paints, unfortunately, quickly burn out and begin to be shelled. The alkyd enamel intended for use on the street is considered the material which is the most suitable for coloring of fences nevertheless. Acrylic dye on tree can also remain pretty long.

It will be slightly more difficult to make wattle fence independently, of course, than the fence. But at the same time such fencings also look more interesting, original and effective. Even the marking under them, for example, can be done not only on perimeter of the fenced zone, but also on circle or oval. Such round wattled fences often fence front gardens or recreation areas with gazebos.

As support for fences of this type usually use wooden columns. Metal elements in wattled fence will look, of course, not too harmoniously.

The cloth of fence of this version is spun most often from willow rods. Sometimes such fences the hands make also of hazel grove, willow, birch or aspen.

It is necessary to prepare rods for wattle fence in the early spring. It is desirable to cut off the most equal rods of identical length from trees and bushes.

Fences 1.5 m high usually make of material 2-3 cm thick. For low fences of front gardens take rods more thinly. In this case material 1-2 cm thick will be ideal option.

Prepare rods for weaving as follows:

It is not obligatory to ret rods in potassium permanganate or vitriol. Carry out this operation only when want to give to material the corresponding shade.

From fresh rods to spin fence it is possible to begin at once. The same material which certain time was stored in economy before assembly of fence needs to be retted in water approximately for week. It is possible to use for weaving such rods only after they slightly increase in volume and will become flexible.

To facilitate to itself work, old rods before the beginning of production of fence it is possible to sustain also some time over steam. In this case they will become practically same flexible, as well as svezhesrezanny.

Support for such fence most often do of not too thick trunks of trees or just equal branches. To drive in them into the earth, for example, with the hammer, it is impossible. Otherwise the top of support will be split and in the subsequent will begin to decay. For installation of columns of wattle fence, as well as the fence, it is necessary to use shovel.

The cloth of such fence can be spun with application of different schemes. Such is considered the simplest technology of weaving of fence:

After the cloth is ready, it is attentively examined. The sticking-out loose long ends of rods interweave into fence by twisting, and short — cut off secateurs.

As soon as the cloth reaches height in 10-15 cm, carry out weaving in several rows on the top. It allows to prevent the shift of support in vertical plane in the course of work with rods.
