Manufacturing of a fence from a metal profile the hands

Of the many fencing options - the fence of the metal profile is the most attractive option for those who are going to do it themselves.

The metal profile is an inexpensive material, at the same time it is durable, durable, and easy and convenient installation will not cause difficulties in operation.

What are the types of metal sheet?

There are several varieties of this material. If you plan to make a fence from the metal profile yourself, then pay attention to the marking of the product.

The sheets should be marked "C" - wall.

For the fencing the following dimensions are suitable:

  • metal profile 1 m wide 15 cm, marked "C8";
  • sheets - width 1 m 10 cm, marking "C20";
  • "С21" - sheet width 1 m.

The latter option is preferable, as the sheets are more durable, the dimensions allow them to be used in many projects.

Below in the photo are examples of metal sheet.

When choosing a sheet, pay attention to the type of polymer coating and the thickness of the zinc layer.

It is better to take a metal profile with a sheet thickness of at least 0.5 mm and a rib height of 20 mm. This will reduce the risk of deformation of the product, making its installation and during the period of further operation.

Rich color range allows you to choose the material for any design. Therefore, the choice of color metal sheet depends on your preferences.

What do you need?

Before you make a fence from a metal profile, you need to prepare the materials and tools that you will use.

This:

  • Metal sheets - their number is determined by a simple mathematical calculation: the total length of the fence is divided by the width of one sheet;
  • Connecting supports or poles - there are wooden, brick, metal, depending on what design you implement. More often, to simplify the work, the installation of the fence is done on profile pipes of square or round cross-section - 60x60 mm, wall thickness - at least 2 mm. Their number depends on the distance that will be between them. Also, additional supports for the gate, gate;
  • For the fastening of the metal profile, cross bars( logs) are used, usually these are also profile pipes, only a smaller section - 40x20 mm. The logs are arranged along the entire length in two parallel rows. Their number is the same: the length of the fence multiplied by two. For more accurate measurements, you can calculate how much the width of spans between poles is, but it is better if the materials are prepared with a margin;
  • Fasten sheet metal to the frame from the logs with the help of roofing screws, which come with hats of different colors and washers made of rubber;
  • The connecting supports are fixed with a concrete solution, so prepare the cement, gravel, sand.

Finally, tools for various types of work are required:

  1. rope;
  2. pegs;
  3. tape measure - for marking the future fence;
  4. auger;
  5. sledgehammer to install the poles.

Fence mounting will require the presence of:

  • level;
  • drills;
  • Bulgarian;
  • welding machine.

Examples of some tools are shown in the photo.

Required Tools

Preparing the site for the future fence

The first thing that the construction of a fence begins with is the determination of its location.

Traditionally, the fence is installed around the perimeter of the site, but there are exceptions, except for this, not always the space that needs to be fenced off, is an even rectangle.

Before you build a fence, draw his project on paper. Examples are presented in the photo.

Pegs are driven into places of future pillars, with the help of twine form the line of future fencing. The distance between pegs should not exceed the width of two sheets of metal.

Mounting of pillars

The frame of the walls of the future fence begins with the installation of supports. In place of the installed pegs, drill holes are made with a depth of 1.5 m.

The metal pipe is clogged by a sledgehammer about 1/3 of its height, the level is checked and the concrete is pinned. At the top of the hole we make formwork from roofing material and sand.

If the design of your fence provides lighting along it, both dig a trench and lay a power cable.

Mounting the log

Before starting to fix the cross pipes, the concrete foundation must dry. The main frame is formed by logs, so their installation will guarantee the strength of the future fence.

The lag is fixed to the support posts by welding. You can also use bolts, but this option is less preferred, the fence frame will not be so reliable. Pipes are arranged in two rows parallel to each other.

The options for attaching the lag to the pole are shown in the photo below.

The bottom row is 30-35 cm from the ground, the second - 20-25 cm below the upper edge of the support. The joints for corrosion protection are thoroughly primed and painted in two layers.

The color is selected in accordance with the used color of the metal profile.

Mounting the lag

Mounting of metal profiles on the prepared frame

Completes the construction of the installation of metal profiles on logs. It is better to fasten the sheets from the edges of the gate, while moving forward in both directions.

With the help of a drill put the sheets on the roofing screws, be sure to check the level and tape measure the upper edge. It should be smooth, without distortion.

The metal profile is easily cut by a bulgarian or scissors for metal, which allows you to remove the rest of the material, adjust its dimensions.

The most recent stage is the installation of the gate and gate.

Examples of construction of the fence from the metal profile, its types are presented below in the video.
