The arrangement of a country estate or a summer cottage without fail involves the installation of a fence. If you pay attention to the photos of beautiful fences, it is easy to notice that they are an important element in the design of the site. When a territory development project is being developed, its borders are first of all indicated. And this is done in the literal sense of the word. Fence poles are installed around the perimeter of the site, and a fence is attached to them. This is a classic sequence of actions. But before embarking on the enclosure, each zealous owner considers the relevant offers that are on the market.
It should be noted that the arrangement of any land allotment, whether it is a summer cottage or a manor with a cottage, begins with the development of the project. Depending on the landscape, soil features and other parameters, the type of structure is selected and the territory is marked. If you plan to build a house in the Gothic style, then using a simple rustic wattle fence as a fence will not be entirely correct. Of course, such an option for solving the problem will cost less, and you will not need to buy fence posts. But in this situation, such a primitive way of saving is absolutely not suitable.
In accordance with a centuries-old tradition, the most common in our country are
wooden fences. This fact is explained by the fact that wood was the most affordable material for construction and other industries. And today the fence is mounted on fence posts made of various types of wood. It is well known that oak columns serve for a long time and reliably. In the same way as from coniferous wood. Especially from larch. However, it should be noted that commercial wood prices are constantly increasing. And in some cases, it is necessary to install columns of birch and aspen. Although it is known that they serve 3-5 years.
Despite these circumstances, the device of fences made of wood is in steady demand. The fact is that it can be built in the shortest possible time, without burdening itself with the arrangement of the foundation for each pillar. At the same time, the appearance of the hedge can only cause admiration and positive feedback. In order for the posts to last longer, they are treated with special impregnations. They give
wooden poles increased resistance to external influences - moisture, temperature differences, insects. Of course, the durability of wood is not comparable with concrete or metal, but the service life will increase by 2-3 times.
But fence posts are made not only from wood.
Asbestos cement pipes do a good job with this function
. They will never rot or burn. When using them, one difficult moment arises - for fastening the veins, special clamps or long metal studs are required. Pillars from a metal pipe are deprived of this drawback. We can say that they are by far the most reliable and technologically advanced. The home master has all the tools and fixtures in order to work with such poles. To all that has been said, reinforced concrete poles are also very good in their performance characteristics.
