The appearance on the market of technological materials leads to the use of completely new types of fences. Thus, the foundation for the fence begins to play an increasingly important role, because the strength of the entire structure will depend on it in the future. A properly arranged base is the key to the fact that the fence will last several decades. An economical option does not imply an underground part, but the service life of such a structure is several times shorter. In addition, some building materials from which the fence is made, initially provide for the presence of any foundation.
One of the most popular today is the tape foundation for the fence in the form of a continuous tape of concrete. He proved himself to be the best in the construction of any buildings and structures. Its superior characteristics and resistance to heavy loads help protect objects from skew. The only obstacle may be swampy soils, which do not allow the use of such substrates. The final parameters will depend on the depth of freezing and the design features of the structure being built. Nowadays, both monolithic and prefabricated strip foundations are used, consisting of factory
reinforced concrete blocks. Its service life can reach sixty years.
On stable soils, the foundation for the fence may be columnar when the base is placed under the bearing supports. However, in this case, the depth of laying is determined by freezing of the soil. For the construction of columnar analogs, holes are made at the point of installation of supports for metal pipes acting as the main posts. Additionally produce reinforcement using a wire frame. At the last stage, the holes are poured with concrete.
Also, in some cases, the foundation for the fence is combined if it consists of heavy materials. That is, with a conventional tape base, special columnar supports are added. For the basement, formwork is mandatory. The entire structure
is poured with concrete so that voids do not form in it. The combined elements of the two
types of foundations give the structure high strength and stability. In this regard, horizontal movements of the soil are not able to have a destructive effect on the base as a whole.
The foundation for the fence on screw piles will greatly help to reduce the construction time. These elements resemble round metal pipes with blades and a special tip, which allows you to screw the posts into the ground manually or using mechanical devices. Piles are introduced into the ground until they are at a depth of one and a half meters. After that, the cavity is poured with concrete to ensure good stability. The main advantages of such a foundation can be considered profitability, high speed construction, the ability to use screw elements on problematic soils.
