Before you put a fence around your site, you need to ask yourself how harmoniously it will look in combination with structures already available on this site. To answer, you need to determine the material of the intake sections, its quality and, of course, the cost. Agree, the fence of a stone mansion from the Rabits grid will look rather ridiculous. While for a plot in a garden cooperative such a fence is quite appropriate. When the owner of the garden decides on the canvas itself, he will have to think about what it will hold on to. That is, the next "headache" is a pipe for the fence. It is about her in this article that will be discussed.
Pipe for a fence from a grid the Chain-link
The determining size for the rack will be the height of the canvas section. As a rule, the grid of this design has three standards - it is 1.5, 1.8, 2.1 m. The pipe should be selected centimeters 45 longer. 40 centimeters will go to the ground. At 5 centimeters, the stand will be above the fence. This is enough to make the fence look aesthetically pleasing. I think it is unnecessary to recall that in the case of the Rabits grid, metal pipes are needed for fences.
Another characteristic is important - the diameter of the pipe. It should be neither large nor small. In the first case, it will be more difficult (and more expensive) to protect the pipe from moisture ingress. In the second, it is more difficult to weld hooks for hanging the mesh. Speaking of moisture. The pipe for the fence can not only undergo corrosion, if water gets inside it can “freeze” during the first frost. Which, of course, will shorten the life of the entire fence. Therefore, the ideal option is when the pipe for the fence is welded with a lid on top and painted on the outside.
The shape of the racks is not as important as the material from which they are made. But the masters are much more comfortable if the pipe is square or rectangular.
Pipe for wooden fence
Gone are the days when racks for fencing made of such material were also wooden. These pillars are impractical, amenable to rapid decay, laborious to maintain. More and more for owners of wooden fences use metal or asbestos pipes. The latter can be called the most protected against corrosion, but it is difficult to assign the title of shockproof. To fasten a wooden canvas to asbestos pillars, it will be necessary to purchase not only self-tapping screws, but also clamps. The asbestos fence pipe is usually installed on a sand and gravel cushion, which is placed in holes with a depth of 50 cm. After installing the column, it is poured with concrete. To strengthen the structure, sometimes this method is used. Before installing an asbestos pipe, a metal rod is dug into the center of the pit. And after installing the pillar, concrete is poured into it. The result is a reinforced pipe for the fence, the price of which is significantly lower than any reinforcing structure.
Acquiring supports is not a problem. A pipe for a fence, the price of which is not high (only 250-300 rubles per meter), is accessible to almost everyone. The problem is that you always want the purchased materials to last as long as possible, so buy pipes for the fence from trusted suppliers.
