Earlier it was somehow not accepted to fence the dacha with a fence - people lived in one friendly family called the communist community, and it was believed that there were no thieves in it. But now the times are different, people care only about their own good, and protect their property in every possible way. One of such ways of protection is just the hedge. The fence for a summer residence - protection, certainly, not the most reliable, but for some malefactors all the same represents a certain obstacle. It is about this obstacle from lovers of appropriating someone else's property that this article will be discussed.
Fence in the country house with your own hands: how and what to build
Modern construction technologies allow you to build fences and fences for giving in various ways - rather, the way is one, only the material is used differently. As a rule, first bricks and a small parapet are made, and then the space between them is closed by separate sections made of vending material.
For the production of posts, as a rule, either brick or metal pipe is used. They are installed in pits and poured with concrete for more stability. To make a fence in the country house, made with their own hands, had a nice appearance, after the columns are frozen, a parapet is made - it can be built with the same success from a brick or cast from concrete. The difference is only in the decorative properties of the material used for the parapet - a brick, if it is beautifully laid, is itself a decoration, but the concrete is better than something to coat( for example, tiles with an interesting name "bassoon").Very interesting looks the base of the fence, laid out by natural stone, as a rule, the rubble of the largest fraction is inexpensive, it is just used for these purposes.

With the base of the fence everything seems to be clear, now it's time to deal with the spans of honey pillars - they determine the types of fences for the dacha, or rather, the material used to block the spans. Suitable for this type of building materials is not so little.
Wooden fence for dacha
Let's start with the classics of the genre, with wooden fences. Asking the question, how to make a fence on a dacha from a tree, it is necessary to understand its high cost. Although by and large, it does not exceed the figure that a metal fence costs. Close spans a wooden hedge can be in many ways - some people build a palisade of racks, others tightly clog them with a board, but a third, trying to excel in front of neighbors, they build a wattle fence. Here you choose - in principle, no matter how you decide to seal the fence with the tree, remember that the shadow in the suburban area is not a very good helper in growing plants. Therefore, it is better to refuse a deaf option.
Almost all wooden fences for the dacha are arranged according to one principle - between the posts are attached two or three horizontal slats, across which are sewn vertical.
Fences for cottages from the fence
If we are talking about a fence from the fences, then in the span between the main stakes additional racks with a thinner section are installed - around them, and the boards are bent, forming something like weaving.
If we are talking about a wicker fence, then it should talk a little more. As a rule, for the creation of such a fence freshly cut straight branches of trees of small thickness are used. Fresh wood easily bends, and braid them around thick branches, dug into the ground, quite simply. As a rule, such a braided fence for giving a high do not do - it turns out deaf and creates a lot of shade.
Metal fence for giving
And here metal fences for a summer residence create in the different ways. There are three main variants of its execution - with the use of corrugated board, mesh netting and forged products. In all three cases, they are almost identical. From a corner or a thin rod by a welding method, a frame is made with dimensions corresponding to the spans between the main pillars. Inside this frame is placed either profiled sheeting, or mesh netting, or forged elements. Subsequently, the fence sections obtained by this method are installed between the support columns.

There are also cheaper options for metal fences. For example, the mesh netting can be simply pulled between metal or concrete columns driven into the ground. The reliability of such a fence for a dacha is questionable - firstly, the posts installed without the use of concrete, quickly mow down, and, secondly, the grid will sag, and in a couple of years the fence will have to be remade.
Concrete fences at the dacha
Install a concrete fence at the dacha - this is the height of mistrust of people, a concrete fence in the minds of our people is associated with the forbidden zone. This is something like the "Berlin Wall", of course, this is a joke, but there is some truth in it. Modern industry produces so-called decorative concrete - more often it is called the euros. It looks quite decent( if properly dyed), but its strength can be argued for a long time. Special additives designed to alleviate its weight make such a concrete fence brittle - it survives the wind, but more serious loads, such as kicking, are instantly reflected in it in the form of cracks and fractures.

The concrete euro-bar is going to be quite simple. Almost the same as in all other cases, digging pits with an interval of 2 m, in which the concrete slabs with grooves are installed according to the level and are concreted. Then, when the concrete solidifies, the sections of the fence drop into the grooves between the columns from the top. Everything is simple, only these sections must be securely fixed in the grooves, otherwise they will hang around and make unpleasant sounds when the wind is strong. First, the sections are wedged in these grooves with wooden blocks, and then all the remaining space is filled with cement mortar. When the solution dries, the fence can be painted.
