Fence from the corrugated board with your own hands

Before you start building a new plot of land, you should take care of a practical and reliable fence. In addition, it is important that your future fencing does not have defects, possessed excellent aesthetic qualities and organically fit into the surrounding landscape.

Fence construction from the corrugated board

To date, there are a lot of different structures,materials for the erection of a protective barrier of the site. It should be noted that each type of fence has both positive aspects and its weaknesses. One of the most successful, economical and easy in the construction is to distinguish the construction from the corrugated board( it is also called the corrugated sheet or metal profile), as in the photo.

To build a fence of corrugated board by yourself does not take much effort. All that is needed is quality building materials, as well as strict observance of the technological rules of erection. So, how to make such a fence?

Advantages of the fence from the profiled sheet

Why you should choose the fencing from the metal profile:

Ease of installation;
Excellent strength and resistance to aggressive environments;
Excellent reliability, protects against unwanted looks;
Long service life;
Not exacting in care;
Flawless sound insulation;
Laconic and elegant appearance;
Availability.

Materials for mounting the fence from the corrugated board with your own hands

Of course, the main material of this design is the profiled sheet. This material is made of strong galvanized steel, it has a neat ribbed shape. The main advantage of this material over its analogs is the low price, durability and convenience in operation. So, the list of materials that can be included in the estimate :

Profilist C8 or any other brand
Metal posts 60x60x3x3000 mm, which will act as supports of your fence;
Transverse lugs 40x25x2x6000 mm
Fasteners: roofing screws or steel rivets 3,2х10 mm
Ruberoid or casing pipes for holes so that the ground does not fall off and is not mixed with concrete when concreting the posts
Concrete grade M200 or M250
Sand, crushed stone and cementif making a concrete solution by hand)
Primer for metal

Step-by-step instruction for installing a fence from the profiled sheet

I. Marking of the adjacent territory.

Before marking it is important to take measurements of the perimeter of your land. Further, we calculate the orientable number of required supports( step 2-3 m).Only then can we proceed to the markup itself. We begin with the "breaking" of the peg in all corners of the site. Alternately, we connect the pegs with a well-stretched thread. Using the tape measure, we take the final dimensions and prepare a complete fencing project.

II.Mounting of supports.

The metal pillars of both round and rectangular cross-sections can serve as support pillars of your fence. When ordering the supports, it should be noted that ideally 1/3 of the length of the pillar will be buried. For example, for a 2-meter-high fence, a foundation pit of 1-1.5 m depth( depth of freezing of the ground) is required, that is, we order pipes with a length of at least 3 m.

After the pits are ready, take care of the concrete solutionconcrete grades M200 and M250).

It is very important to mount the supports strictly vertically, which means do not forget to apply the level in the pit to the pit and check that everything is smooth!

III.Mounting of transverse log fence.

The construction of the fence is based on 1 lag per 1 m of fence height. That is, for a fence with a height of not more than two meters, it is necessary to install in parallel a pair of lags.

It is advisable to use welding to secure the log to the supports, which should give the structure additional rigidity and strength, but you can also use bolts.

IV.Installation of corrugated board.

The final stage is the fastening of sheets of corrugated board to the fence frame. Laminate the sheets overlap, at least 1 "wave".For fixing we use roofing screws or rivets.

Rivets are better to use steel, rather than aluminum, to avoid galvanic pair between two different metals, which can eventually lead to corrosion.

It is very important, before the end of the work, to paint all the metal elements and welding places with a primer to protect against corrosion.

At this stage, the installation of the fence from the profiled sheet is finished, you can get more detailed information about the technology, the advice of experienced builders, and also with actual photos and videos in our article.
