Fence from unedged board by own hands

The fence on the plot is the visiting card of the owner. To deserve a good impression - the fencing of your house must be really original and beautiful. Unfortunately, without building experience and appropriate financing, one can not dream of a stone or brick fence. Another thing is a wooden fence made of unedged boards. This unique fence has magnificent decorative properties, its construction will save your money and time, and most importantly, it is easy to build it yourself.

Selection of materials for the construction of the fence

The unedged board is used as the basis of the fence. Such material is a wooden cloth with untreated and crooked edges, and sometimes with remains of the bark. When choosing boards for construction, the following recommendations should be considered:

• To avoid splits or chips during installation, the unedged board must be wider than 200 mm;
• To increase the strength and reliability of the structure - use a board with a thickness of at least 20 mm;
• The most important rule is to use exclusively dried material. First, the raw board can not be treated with protective agents( antiseptic, flame retardant, etc.).Secondly, under the influence of external factors, the construction of a raw tree - very soon deformed, and will come into disrepair.

After defining the material, we calculate its number and design the drawing of the laying of the boards. If you use slabs - add a fifth of the total number of required material( many are not standard).If you use a quality uncut board - add up to 10% of the material to the stock.

Be sure to clean everything from the remains of the bark. Under it, there may be various bugs, parasites that will eventually destroy your fence. Then we proceed to processing. Experts recommend for this use facade paints and stains-impregnation. Such protection will keep the design from fading and decay for dozens of years. As supports you can use wooden or metal poles.

How to make a fence of an unedged board with your own hands

First you need to make a markup under the fence, under the holes where the poles will be installed. When erecting a fence with wooden pillars, care must be taken to ensure that they are properly processed. The support base should be impregnated with impregnations, bitumen, and wrapped with either a roofing felt or geotextile. Then you need to dig holes under the poles and concrete them.

If you are building a fence from an unedged board with your own hands, use the following algorithm: the depth of concreting of the bases is not less than 1 m( better at the depth of freezing of the ground), the step between sections is not more than 2.5 m( the smaller - the fence is stronger).

Fences made of uncut wood material can have a variety of trims: vertical, horizontal, herringbone, overlapping and combined. You will get acquainted with the options for plating, you can in our gallery, where the most current photos and video materials are presented.

If to speak about the simplest variant, then this is a fence made of unedged board of a vertical type. Horizontal logs are installed on poles.

Then on them with the help of self-tapping boards are mounted in the vertical position. Such fencing can be of two types: "through" and "deaf".The through fence assumes fastening of boards, both from the inner and the outer side of the structure with a certain indentation from each other, this type of fence is also called "chessboard".When building a blind fence, the boards are assembled among themselves - tightly.
