Sectional concrete fence is becoming more widespread as a fence for country houses due to durability, quality and reliability. At the same time, the current assortment has expanded significantly and allows each customer to find what he needs.
Kinds
The existence of many varieties makes it possible to combine a fence with a house of any architectural orientation. Among them are the following:
- Bilateral and unilateral structures with a relief pattern, the location of which does not affect the installation.
- Deaf elements or with gaps of various kinds.
- A matte or glossy surface can be flat, and also resemble natural materials.
It is worth noting that the sectional price for a single-sided concrete fence is slightly lower than for a double-sided fence, due to the complexity of the design. The same applies to designs with additional decor and imitation of various materials.
Mounting
Fences of this kind are distinguished by a fairly simple installation, which everyone can do. You don’t have to look for a specialized tool and call the craftsmen or the construction team, but still extra hands will be very helpful.
To begin with, markup is made at the proposed location of the structure. The space for the gate acts as a starting point. The location of the supporting elements is marked by stakes, the distance between which should be about two meters.
Installation of poles requires digging holes for each of them. A drainage layer in the form of chipped bricks or small gravel is poured into the holes obtained. Then the poles are mounted and leveled, followed by concrete pouring. The mass should completely harden, which can take several days, after which you can proceed with further work. Installation is completed by fixing the panels in the grooves. If necessary, a paint layer is applied to the sectional concrete fence.
All actions are quite simple, despite the fact that the competent setting of the supports and grasping of the solution requires some time and utmost accuracy. If you have the necessary tools, such as a concrete mixer, and the appropriate skills, slabs for the fence can be made independently.
Advantages
Sections are made by casting method, the structure of reinforced concrete acts as the basis, due to which high strength properties are formed. There are many other positive aspects:
- You can create a continuous sectional concrete fence, or with gaps, for example, from lattice elements mounted in the upper or lower part.
- A long period of operation, achieved by high quality performance.
- The base of reinforced concrete is not afraid of high temperatures, respectively, this type of fencing belongs to the category of fireproof.
- Lack of complicated care.
- The material is not susceptible to corrosion and mold.
- Extensive selection of shades and textures.
- Quick and easy installation.
- Sectional concrete fences do not require the formation of a foundation under the fence.
How to choose
Before choosing a constructive solution, you should decide on the main purpose, this may be an addition to the overall design, the formation of a ventilated fence or the creation of maximum security of the object.
Concrete stacked fences are selected depending on the main tasks, while the texture, color and characteristics of the top layer should be taken into account. A fairly common solution is to purchase products with a finished look that does not require additions and is suitable for the surrounding landscape.
Concrete is characterized by an easy distribution of the coloring composition, so if there is paint, you should pay attention to products that do not have a finish coating. Ventilated options are optimally suited for installation close to a pond, as they prevent the formation of a greenhouse effect.
Sectional concrete fence: features
There is no need to use fasteners during installation and specialized tools for combining elements, since their assembly is similar to the designer and is carried out using a special groove located in the support posts.
The panels have a fairly large mass, but at the same time are the lightest among other fences made of similar material. A sectional concrete fence, the average price of one section of which is 8,000 rubles, is in the same category with high-quality metal options.
Dimensions
The mass of individual elements is affected by the number of holes, dimensions and density of the substrate. On average, it is 50-80 kg, which makes it possible to install by several people, without the use of special equipment, which is necessary for concrete monolithic slabs with a base and a separate location.
The sectional concrete fence, the dimensions of which are, as a rule, 2000 x 50 x 500 mm, due to the use of the method of vibrocasting, does not have bubbles in its structure that adversely affect the quality of the material. The parameters of the future fence are formed on the basis of overall values.
A variety of casting molds used in production make a huge assortment of patterns possible.
Elements can be painted by two methods: after installation in a selected area or during the connection of elements, after the final solidification of the base.
