Due to the fact that natural materials have again begun to enjoy popularity, more and more often many homeowner owners want to install a wooden fence with their own hands. Such fences can now be observed even around the most modern houses, but their use in summer cottages can add coziness. To achieve high-quality performance, you will have to learn at least the basics of installing this design. Then a good wooden fence can turn out , the price of which will noticeably decrease in case of independent execution. First of all, it is necessary to determine its type, which will depend mainly on the tasks set by the home craftsman.
No matter what a wooden fence you want to build with your own hands, it will in any case have the same principles for installing poles and the main elements used to mount the boards. However, after installation, its appearance can be completely different. One of the simplest options involves the tight placement of the strips on one side in an upright position. This fence looks pretty solid, while providing excellent protection from prying eyes. Siding is sometimes used to finish a wooden fence. A photo of such a building can demonstrate all its beauty in full.
The construction begins with the installation of pillars acting as the main supporting elements. First, corner posts are dug. Experts recommend deepening the poles into the ground by about a third of the entire length. This is especially true for extreme racks and those that carry the maximum load from other structures (such as gates and gates). Holes are most often made with special screws or motor drills. They are largely able to facilitate the task.
When a wooden fence is built with your own hands, there is a need to protect the racks from rotting. Bitumen and roofing material were replaced by modern impregnations. Pillars protected from moisture are placed in prepared pits, at the bottom of which there should be crushed stone, so that the structure does not sag after a while. After installing all the basic support elements of the fence, a small mound should be made to help avoid collecting water around the column. Further, guides are fixed in the lower and upper parts, to which the fence boards themselves are directly attached.
After the wooden fence is built with your own hands, it must be well treated with protective equipment. At the first stage, the wood is cleaned of various contaminants, tar and dust. After that, the processing itself, which involves two stages, is carried out directly. The first of them uses an antifungal antiseptic that helps protect wooden elements from mold and rot. In the second stage, paint is used for facade work, which allows to protect the product from the effects of ultraviolet rays and give it a respectable appearance.
