Profiled sheeting: practicality
Summer residents and gardeners with at least 20 years of experience in suburban life have already realized the changes that have occurred in the minds of their fellow citizens who used to be close neighbors and good friends. On the place of air, lovely wooden fences or practical grid "Rabitsa" came fences of two-meter profiled metal sheets. Any gardening partnership now represents a kind of prison zone with deaf corridors, but this is a voluntary choice of summer residents. It is important that he is reasonable.
At some point, residents of suburban residences in Russia are finally lazy, stopped planting beautiful hedges, and switched to a quick and inexpensive material( profiled metal sheet), abbreviated as profiled sheeting. What it is:
- thin sheet of metal, rolled( stamped) on special equipment;details will be discussed below;
one goal: to give this workpiece a certain profile shape( trapezoidal, wavy, segment), which allows to withstand large lateral loads; - sheets of large format should not sag, deform under external influences, be resistant to changes in climatic conditions;
- an additional factor for certain inquiries of potential customers may be the aesthetics of the product and its corrosion resistance.
The corrugated board was developed for quite utilitarian industrial purposes, our tireless "kulibins" dragged it to fences in country cottages. Rapid lining of trade pavilions, large shopping centers, the erection of roofing structures and a profiled sheet were a prelude. When the construction companies began to instantly equip the fences on the building sites of such profiled materials, the people instantly evaluated their prospects at the household level.
Technical characteristics of the profiled sheeting for the fence
The offer on the market for such building materials is off scale, so if you are not a professional civil engineer, pay attention to the following main indicators:
- specific gravity: ideally one square meter.a meter of corrugated board should weigh no more than 7 kg;such sheets can be used even for roofing works, and to build a fence from them by oneself is a pretty thing;
- load on load-bearing structures;You can assess the stability of the pillars and cross-bars of your fence yourself, but it is better to invite experts at this stage of the installation;When your fence blows an unexpected gust of wind, it will be very insulting;
- to choose profnastil from special series( for example, H60-845 or H114-600 from the collection of InvestSnabstroy) for the construction of country fences, we do not recommend you;it's not even in the price of 304-451 rubles per square meter, and in the specialized profiling of products for roofing of large buildings;
- durability of corrugated board for fence;is determined only by the quality of the polymer coating( protection from ultraviolet, acid rain and other natural delights);some manufacturers give a guarantee for 15 years - do not believe, in our climate everything is rotting and rusting much faster;
- which polymeric dusting on the corrugated sheet for your fence you choose( polyester, polyvinyl difluoride, plastisol, pural or other) is not so important, the main thing is that your wife likes the color.
However, there is one more important aspect: the price of the issue. The material from which the initial profile of the sheet is made, the quality of polymer sputtering at times increase the cost of production. In this situation, the choice is for the consumer: we pay little, but often, or once for a quality product.
Building a fence from the proflist: what to choose
If you decide to wall yourself off from neighbors and all around by a dumb iron wall, try to do this job correctly or entrust the work to reliable performers. It is not difficult to find an offer of such services on the Internet, it is much more difficult to determine the level of training and professionalism of the employees and the quality of the corrugated board for the fence that will be brought to you. What you should pay attention to:
- a clear marking of the fence line corresponding to the boundaries of your land plot;war for real estate in Russia has long been the norm;a cadastral passport( copy) must be at hand;
- , try to determine the desired length of the lag of the fence from the corrugated board;for you this is a certain design participation in the project, for the suppliers of sheets and builders - the technical specification for the size range of finished products;
- the fundamentality of the grounds of the future fence;The fence posts should be buried 1-1.5 meters deep;Drilling, driving, concreting - all on the conscience of fencers;the result in this case is obvious: the profiled sheets will not fly away at the first strong impulse of the wind;
- horizontal alignment of supports: the common line of any fence is calibrated with two tensioning strings: along the upper boundary of the profiled sheets and along the established support segments;
- vertical linearity of fence posts;the relief of the terrain does not always allow a clear barrier horizon and the fence from the profiled sheet has to be broken graphically into sections;
Further everything is simple: on the vertical we mount horizontal logs( edging board 40-50 mm), take the cut-to-size profiled sheet, screwdriver and screw with the help of the second first element to the base. Self-tapping screws for metal will be quite appropriate.

Further everything is simple: on the vertical we fix the horizontal logs( edging board 40-50 mm), take the sliced under the size of the corrugated sheet, screwdriver and screw with the help of the second first element to the base. Self-tapping screws for metal will be quite appropriate.
