What is good corrugated board?
A huge and diverse market of building materials is able to drive an inexperienced buyer into a stupor. How to choose a quality and reliable material that can be used for a fence for a house, villa, etc.?The optimal solution that meets all the requirements is a corrugated board.
This is a universal building material, which is equally well used in residential as well as industrial construction for the manufacture of interfloor overlappings and fixed formwork, the hanging of hangars and warehouses, the arrangement of fences and gates. It is a steel sheet with a polymer, zinc or aluminzinc coating, has longitudinal corrugations of a trapezoidal shape.
Country house fence made from corrugated board - what are you going to choose from?
There are many different classifications, consider the main ones that can significantly affect the quality of the fence and its appearance.
Galvanized profiled sheeting .Due to the use of cheap raw materials, the price for this type of building material is low. This limits all its merits. The shortcomings include very low resistance to the influence of unfavorable external factors, such as precipitation, temperature changes, etc. Fences made of corrugated board of this kind can often be found on construction sites.
Profiled sheeting with polymer coating .It is a durable and reliable building material. Thanks to the coating with polyester composition, these sheets have high operational properties - durability, corrosion resistance, and also to unfavorable external factors. The life of this sheet is about 45 years. During this period, any additional maintenance of this building material is not necessary.
This corrugated board has a wide range of colors and is very attractive from an aesthetic point of view. Polymer coating can be applied to one side of the sheet or be two-sided. Due to its properties, this building material is very popular when installing roofs, exterior finishing of prefabricated buildings, hangars. Fences and enclosures made of corrugated board with polymer coating differ in modern design and appearance, mechanical strength, environmental friendliness and low weight.
Depending on the height of the profile and the thickness of the sheet, this building material is divided into:
- corrugated roofing, used for the installation of roofs, as well as wall slabs;
- profiled sheeting, used in non-removable formwork and ceilings;
- corrugated wall board, other name - profiled fence .
Fences from corrugated board - we proceed to work
Usually installation of a fence from this building material is carried out independently, tk.installation of corrugated board is quite simple operation and does not require a building education or special qualification, mount it more often at the dacha. To install the fence from the corrugated board, you will need an aerosol paint to paint the installation defects, metal screws, installation tool "Klepper" and rivets to it.
Before assembling the metal fence, it is necessary to make a marking of the land plot, calculate the length and purchase the supporting poles. Experts recommend to install them in increments of 2.5 meters in view of wind load.
To secure the pillars, you need to excavate pits of the appropriate diameter. The depth of the pits should not be less than 1 meter. Pillars are installed in these prepared holes, pour gravel and pour concrete. During this process, do not forget to control the height and verticality of the pillars. At once to mount a fence for a summer residence from a professional flooring it is impossible. It is necessary to allow the concrete to dry.
With the help of welding, poles are fixed on poles. To ensure maximum rigidity of the structure, it is desirable to set the veins in parallel in three rows. Overlapping is fixed overlapping one corrugation. Mount the corrugated board is necessary to a height of 1.5 cm from the ground, so that in the spring the meltwater does not stagnate in this place.
Fixed corrugated board with self-tapping screws 4,8х19 mm and rivets 4,0х80 mm. Fastening elements are included in the delivery, along with the sheet. If the fasteners are carried through the corrugation in three rows, then the consumption of screws per sheet will be about 15 pieces.
On top of the installed corrugated board fence for an aesthetic view of the fence and with the purpose of hiding the unevenness of the sheet installation is put on.
