Which is best for the fence. Fence - selection and installation. Reliable and simple fences

Often, a fence for a summer cottage is erected temporarily, for the subsequent construction of a more solid structure. And often there is simply not enough money for a solid fence, so we are looking for the most cheap fence for giving.

To make the fence very inexpensive, we will build it with our own hands. Before installing the type of fence you have chosen, be sure to take an interest in the technology of its installation and consult with a specialist.

Cheap fence for a summer residence, options

The price of the fence is influenced by the size of the structure and the material from which it will be made. Respectively high fence more expensive than low, and solid - more expensive than transparent. A structure that is attached to dug-in or concreted pillars will be cheaper than a fence mounted on a strip foundation.

Wooden picket fence - the most budget option

Such an inexpensive material can be made quite beautiful and original fence for giving. An example of this is a photo of finished fences.

This is a very popular material for country fence... A picket fence is made of wood, with a thickness of 18 to 22 mm and a width of 7 to 14 cm.

The height of the picket fence can be from 1.2 to 4 meters. To fix this material, horizontal girders are used, fixed on oak, metal or concrete posts.

The approximate price of a picket fence is 700 rubles / sq.m. The final cost of the fence largely depends on the chosen installation option. For example, installing a picket fence in a staggered or herringbone pattern increases the price of the structure by 15-20%. The strip foundation, instead of simply driving the posts into the ground, adds 20-25% to the cost.

Fences made of thin wicker boards and a blockhouse are more expensive (from 1000 rubles / sq.m). Wicker fence draws attention original look, and the fence from the blockhouse wins the hearts of summer residents with the quality of a wooden frame.

The view of the Rancho fence came to us from the Wild West. For its construction, wide horizontal boards or beams are used, which are attached to low wooden poles... The disadvantage of such a fence is that it does not protect the site from the penetration of unauthorized persons and even small animals. It is quite understandable, since this fence was created for a vast area of pastures. But its installation does not take much time. And in terms of the cost of materials and work, such a fence is comparable to the price of a picket fence.

Wicker for fencing a summer cottage

Fans like this fence made of hazel or willow branches. rustic style... It is original, strong enough and durable. With a strong desire, the technique of weaving branches can be mastered with your own hands in a matter of hours. If you have no time to engage in manual creativity, then you will have to pay from 500 rubles for 1 square meter for making and installing wattle fence.

Anyone interested in building a cheap fence for a summer residence is advised to pay attention to an unedged board. Having freed it from the bark, sanded and varnished, you can get beautiful fence for a summer cottage at a minimum price (about 550 rubles / sq. m.).

Regarding the durability of wooden fences ... The service life of autoclaved wood increases to 30 years. The service life of an ordinary painted board does not exceed 15 years.

Fence for giving from a chain-link mesh

The cheapest fence can be built from a chain-link mesh. It is produced in different options height (1.0-3.0 meters), length 10-18 meters and cell size 20-100 mm. Galvanizing and polymer coating are used to protect the wire from corrosion.

You can put such a fence by rolling out the mesh and fixing it to metal or concrete pillars... The second option is the manufacture of mesh sections, that is, frames from corners or pipes and their installation on poles.

The service life of mesh fences reaches 30 years. Such fences do not shade the site and at the same time are reliable, as they create a serious obstacle for uninvited guests.

The average price of 1 square meter of a fence made of a turnkey chain-link mesh is 180-240 rubles.

Fence for summer cottages from euroshtaketnik

The popularity of fences from wooden picket fence encouraged stamped metal manufacturers to create something similar. The result is a very aesthetic and durable material.

In terms of service life, wood cannot be compared with it. In addition, the Euroshtaketnik fencing does not require periodic painting and antiseptic treatment. The protective polymer film, which is used to cover galvanized steel, retains its color and integrity for 25-30 years.

Installation of a fence made of euro shtaketnik, taking into account the cost of materials and work, is from 800 rubles per 1 sq.m.

Country fence made of corrugated board

Today it is the leader in country fence construction. This is a blank fence. His affordable price allows any summer resident to use it to fence his site. No one can penetrate such a fence alive soul... Installation of a corrugated board fence is simple and therefore inexpensive. To this can be added huge selection colors and textured pattern of the profiled sheet.

Use corrugated board with a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is not much more expensive than 0.4 mm thick flooring, but it will not be covered with dents and will not lose its attractiveness.
The step of the supports should be no more than 2-2.5 meters, ideally 1.5 meters. And if we take the distance between the supports in 3 m, then under the influence of wind loads, the fence canvas will begin to bend and may lose its original appearance.
Dig in the support pipes to a depth of at least 1.5 meters and be sure to concrete them.
The fence posts should be made of a 60-80 mm pipe, with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm.
Take corrugated board with double-sided, polymer coating, since the galvanized flooring (without painting), after two years becomes stained, loses its shine and may begin to corrode.

Slate fence

For the installation of such a solid fence, both flat and corrugated asbestos-cement slate are used. The first is stronger because it is thicker.

Installation flat slate large format (1.5 x 3 meters) is faster than the installation of a smaller wavy (1.75 x 1.125 m). Slate is placed on steel profile girders, welded or bolted to metal posts.

Slate fence has high strength, as well as heat and frost resistance. It is more durable than wood and is not afraid of corrosion like metal. However, this material has a significant drawback - it is fragile and nondescript in appearance. And if nothing can be done about the first minus, then the second can be easily corrected - paint the slate.

Bottom line: the cheapest fence for a summer residence is a chain-link fence (200 rubles / sq. M.), The second place in price is fences made of welded mesh, wooden picket fence and unedged boards(450-600 rubles / sq.), We give the third place in our rating to fences made of corrugated board, slate, blockhouse and edged boards(700-1000 rubles / sq. M.).

Fence posts

During the construction of the fence, much attention is paid to the installation of pillars - the supporting part of the fence. And the more reliable they are installed, the stronger the fence will be, which means it will last longer.

Installation of fence posts

During construction, 3 methods of installing support pillars are used.

Direct driving into the ground
Partial concreting. It is performed in two ways: pouring a concrete collar, or filling the well below the freezing boundary of the soil.
Complete filling with concrete of the underground part of the rack, including the device strip foundation

Which method to choose depends on the quality of the soil on the site, its saturation with moisture and the degree of freezing. Also, the choice of installation option is influenced by the vertical and lateral loads created by the weight of the structure and its windage. If you decide to install a solid fence, then it must withstand well the wind, the load from which often exceeds the weight of the fence.

Direct driving of pillars into the ground speeds up and reduces the cost of building a fence, but it also has many disadvantages.

If the soil is soft or loose, then the rack may loosen over time under the influence of the wind, since the fences have a lot of windage (if they are made of corrugated board, polycarbonate, boards).
If the height of the pillar is planned to be higher than 2 meters, and even from the netting of the chain-link, then this method of installing the pillars will also not work - any strong wind will also swing the structure.
If your site has clayey moist soil that swells when negative temperatures, then the supports will crawl out of the soil by 10 centimeters already in the first winter.

That is, fence posts simply driven into the ground cannot bear a large weight load. Such an installation is suitable only for low fences with low windage. Or if the site is rocky solid ground.

Concreting a little more complicated and more expensive than the first method of fastening the supports for the fence. And it will take more time. It will take 3 weeks for the concrete to harden only. But this method is more reliable, since the concreted pillars will stand for 30-50 years without tilting. Moreover, strengthening concrete mix suitable for all types of fences, including heavy ones.

Brick posts for a fence

A brick support without a reliable connection with the foundation, even in spite of its solid weight, will not last long. Strong wind load, acting on solid sections of the fence, inevitably leads to overturning of the column, which is not fixed in the foundation. In addition, you shouldn't forget about seasonal ground movements. Lowering and rising a couple of centimeters up and down during the year, the foundation must work in a single bundle with the posts and sections of the fence.

The optimal design of the foundation with brick pillars, designed for a fence made of corrugated board, is clearly illustrated by the diagram in the photo

You can see that a steel rod is installed in the brick posts from square pipe or reinforcement cage. Embedded plates are welded to it. Steel girders are attached to them under the profiled sheet or picket fence.

Foundation type - strip rubble concrete or concrete. A trench is dug under it, and in the places where the pillars are installed, pits with a diameter of 15-20 cm are drilled. First, concrete is poured into wells with pillars installed in them. After that, layer-by-layer concreting of the trench begins.

The main parameters of the foundation (depth, width, degree of reinforcement) and the height of the fence are determined by calculating the strength and stability.

Us for installation brick pillars the following dimensions are used for the fence

trench depth - 20-30 cm;
well depth for installation metal racks brick pillars, counting from the surface of the earth - 90-100 cm;
the height of the grillage (the upper part of the foundation, located above the earth's surface) - 40-60 cm;
foundation width - 20-35 cm;
the distance between the posts is from 2.5 to 3 meters;
post height from 150 to 180 cm ( transverse section masonry 38x38 cm).

In wet soils, it is necessary to drill holes for racks below the freezing depth so that the forces of frost heaving do not deform the fence.

In weak and unstable soils in the upper part of the foundation, before concreting it, it is advisable to lay reinforcement cage from 4-6 rods with a diameter of 14-18 mm. It will preserve the integrity of the foundation and will absorb the loads that arise in the concrete when the soil subsides.

The laying of brick pillars begins no earlier than 2-3 weeks after concreting. Having laid the waterproofing under the posts, you can get to work.

Perfectly straight seams are a guarantee of excellent appearance brick columns. Experienced bricklayers use to simplify the work of cutting off a square bar, which serves as a seam template.

On the picture support post made of bricks with a section of 38 x 38 cm. Inside, for reinforcement, two reinforcing bars are installed. The space between them and the masonry is filled with fine-grained concrete or mortar.

For fences with a height of two or more meters, the cross-sectional size of the column is increased to 51 x 63 cm or 64 x 77 cm. The dimensions of the reinforcing frame increase accordingly.

Metal fence posts

Steel supports are well suited for fences made of corrugated board, wood, plastic, metal mesh, welded and forged fences. These are some of the most affordable and durable solutions for the installation of any fence.

Iron pillars are different types: made of round and shaped pipes, screw. They also differ in height, metal thickness and diameter. It is possible to make such fence supports from new materials, as well as from used ones.

The diameter of a post made of a regular pipe is usually 57, 76, 89 mm. The wall thickness can be any, but the thicker, the longer its service life.

For difficult soils, screw metal piles are used. They have a cutting blade on the bottom, which allows the pipe to be inserted into the soil quickly, without the use of complex techniques. With this blade, the pipe is firmly held in the ground.

Distance between fence posts

Consider our experience when choosing metal posts:

with a fence height of 2-2.5 meters, take the cross-section shaped pipe 60 x 40 mm, for a 1.5 hedge, products with a size of 40 x 40 mm are suitable,
optimal diameter round pipe- 57 mm,
the maximum size of the corners of channels installed one by one, take equal to 90 and 160 mm, respectively,
the spacing between the posts should be within 2-3 meters. A smaller distance is impractical from the point of view of economy, but a larger one sharply reduces the reliability of the structure.

Our calculation of the pitch of the posts with a section length of 13.4 meters and a fence height of 1.5 meters

Divide this distance into 4 sections, you get a length of 3.23 meters. With such an interval, the fence can be built from corpich or a chain-link mesh on metal pillars. It is undesirable to put a profiled sheet or other solid material, since the racks will be shaken by the wind.
If you divide it into 5 sections, you get a step of 2.56 meters. This spacing is suitable for most designs.
Splitting into 6 spans will give a pole spacing of 2.12 meters. It will turn out reliable structure, but the price of the fence will increase. Although in this case you can save money if you take pillars with a smaller section.

The optimal distance between the posts of a solid fence with a height of 2 meters is 2.5 meters. it perfect option in terms of price / quality ratio, when it comes about popular fences made of corrugated board on metal supports.

Often, among the questions about summer cottages, a fence between summer cottages is considered. Neighbors on the sites find out what kind of fence they can fence off, so that it does not contradict the rules. How high can the fence be placed and what it should be made of. Best option in this case, the use of a fence mesh. Or make a decorative living fence from climbing plants... The main thing is not to forget that there should not be a deep shadow from the fence, which naturally will not please the neighbors in the country, since garden crops will grow poorly in this place.

The construction of a fence is one of the tasks that sooner or later, but will surely face the owner land plot... As a house begins with a porch, so a plot begins with a fence. Therefore, it is recommended to pay due attention to the issue of fencing. Erecting a structure independently or with the involvement of specialists - the answer to this question is individual in each case, but many are trying to build the cheapest fence. When building a fence on your own, it turns out to significantly save on wages for employees and, no less important, gain useful experience. Of course, when starting such a large-scale work, it should be understood that this is not a one-day affair and there will be a lot of trouble, but if you do everything according to the rules, then new fence will delight its owner for a long time.

Choosing a material for a cheap fence

First, you need to decide what kind of material to choose for construction, so that you get a cheap fence. Fences are divided into two types: solid (permanent) and with gaps. A solid fence will reliably enclose the site with a blank wall from the views of outsiders, creating an atmosphere of isolation and reliability. In this case, it is recommended to choose materials such as brick, metal profile, concrete plates, boards. A fence with gaps will allow you to protect the site from the adjacent territory, but at the same time visually increase the space. The gaze will not stop on a blank wall, which will provide psychological comfort. The construction of such a light fence will require other materials: a lattice, a mesh-netting are suitable here. You can also build a low board fence. Or you can act radically differently and use hedge... This will be the cheapest fence.

Although the main task fence - to fence and reliably protect the territory from outside interference, the fence has and is clean decorative function... Therefore, its appearance is very important.

In order not to be mistaken when choosing a material for the construction of a fence, one should clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Board fence

This is practically the cheapest fence for a summer residence.

Consider its pros:

natural material;
affordable price.

There are also disadvantages:

short service life;
you need regular maintenance: the fence dries up, paint peels off it.

Wooden boards are one of the easiest materials to work with. It will be easy even for beginners in carpentry to build such a cheap wooden fence on your own. Purchased ones should be finalized (sharpened, sanded, varnished or painted).

If you don't want to mess around with self-erecting a fence, you can purchase finished structure... But this option will be several times more expensive.

The cheapest fences (a photo of their construction options can be seen in the article) for a summer residence is a picket fence. You can also make a wicker fence from branches.

Brick fence

This is not the cheapest fence for a summer residence.

long service life;
high strength, not afraid of vandals;
representative view.

the fence will be expensive;
you cannot do without a solid foundation, which implies additional costs.

Metal profile fence

Let's find out immediately what advantages and disadvantages this fence has.

factory production provides a variety of appearance: any color, wave size, coating is available;
easy installation;
affordable price;
practicality;
durability: the service life is more than a dozen years.

primitive appearance.

In order for a metal profile (corrugated board) fence to look better, it is appropriate to combine it with a brick. Such a fence turns out to be very strong, but not as expensive as a completely brick one. Therefore, this approach is very popular.

Concrete slab fencing

Consider the pros of such a fence:

extremely high strength: according to this indicator, concrete is several times superior to brick;
high durability - up to 100 years;
a wide variety of shapes.

such a fence cannot be erected completely on your own; you will need the help of qualified specialists and technicians.

Fencing made of mesh-netting

A cheap do-it-yourself fence can be built from a chain-link mesh.

reliability: modern mesh-netting is not subject to corrosion, thanks to galvanizing and polymer coating;
long service life - at least 30 years;
does not shade the area, visually increases the space.

like any fence with gaps, it does not protect from prying eyes.

Cheap DIY fence made of wood

Consider the main stages of building a wooden fence:

It is necessary to mark the boundaries of the land plot.
Pillars are inserted into pre-dug holes 25-30 cm deep - the main supporting elements of the structure. The pillars should be placed at a distance of no more than 2.5 m from each other. The verticality is checked using a plumb line. To prevent the pillars from tilting, they can be concreted.
A square is attached to the pillars wooden beam 50x50 mm or larger.
Transverse load-bearing beams are mounted.
Edged boards are attached to the crossbars. The gap between the boards should be 1.5-2 cm.
Covering the entire structure with varnish or painting with facade paint.

Before installation, all boards must be treated with anti-decay agents.

Cheap fences for a summer residence from a metal profile: self-erection

It is not difficult to build a fence from corrugated board if you adhere to the following sequence of actions:

The boundaries of the land plot are marked.
Holes with a depth of 1-1.2 m are drilled along the border line.
Crushed stone or gravel (20-25 cm) is poured into the holes.
They are stuck into the grooves metal poles with a cross section of at least 50 x 50 mm. Verticality is checked with a plumb line or level.
To prevent the pillars from tilting, they should be concreted.
To the posts at equal intervals from each other, transverse carriers (2-3 pcs.) Of metal pipe rectangular.
Attached to the crossbars

Often, metal profile sheets are attached with self-tapping screws, but this way installation has several drawbacks. Firstly, rust can form in the attachment points, therefore, only special self-tapping screws with an EPDM gasket should be used. Secondly, self-tapping screws are easily unscrewed, which is successfully used by thieves to steal sheets of corrugated board. To prevent such situations, it is recommended to use special rivets for metal.

Important points

1. In order for a cheap fence to stand as long as possible, you should use the maximum strong supports... Most reliably, they can be used even for board fences, which will significantly extend the service life.

2. An important element of any fence is a gate. It is necessary to decide in advance on their type and method of attachment. There are different types of gates: sectional, swing, folding. First, a rectangular frame is welded the right size... You can sheathe it with the same material from which the fence is made.

3. Handles are attached to the gate door on both sides, if necessary, a bolt is installed. The doors are mounted on a supporting frame with sturdy steel canopies.

When using a patch lock on the gate, you will need to attach metal hinges for it. For a mortise lock, it is necessary to make grooves for the lock and tongue.

If you follow these simple rules and recommendations, work on self-erection the fence will not seem difficult, and the result will be pleasing long time... Do not forget that cheap fences for summer cottages, like any building construction, require periodic maintenance and minor repairs.

A dacha is, first of all, its own land. Standard six acres of suburban area, make it possible to realize dreams of own home... And, like any property, it is fenced off, separated from the rest of the space.

Majority summer cottages- these are houses for seasonal living, so the construction of a capital fence is not advisable.

Cost savings are here main question, which occupies the developer when solving any dacha issue. And the construction of a fence for garden house- not an exception.

But any private trader wants his fence to be not only cheap, but also beautiful and reliable. Will it be able to meet these expectations inexpensive fence for giving?

Which fence is cheaper?

The cost of the fence is influenced by the choice of its size and design.

A high fence, naturally, will be more expensive than a low one, and a solid fence will be more expensive than a transparent one.

A fence that is attached to dug-in or concreted pillars will be cheaper than a fence mounted on a strip foundation.

Having decided on the construct, we proceed to the choice of material from which you can build a fence.

Options for inexpensive fences for summer cottages

Wooden fence

Building an inexpensive wooden fence is a smart option. It is inexpensive, beautiful and easy to install. There are several types of these hedges.

Picket fence, board (edged and unedged).
Ranch fence.
Wicker (intertwined rods).

The most popular material for a country fence is a picket fence. It is made of wood planks, with a thickness of 18 to 22 mm and a width of 7 to 14 cm. The height of such a fence can be selected in the range from 1.2 to 4 meters. To fasten the picket fence, horizontal girders are used, fixed on wooden (oak) metal or concrete posts.

The one who believes that it is impossible to make from the picket fence is mistaken. beautiful fence... Examples original designs there are quite a few of this material.

Picket fence, fixed at an angle, forms an openwork fence

The approximate cost of a picket fence is 700 rubles / m2. The final price of the fence depends on the chosen installation option. Installing a picket fence in a staggered or herringbone pattern increases the cost of the structure by 15-20%. The strip foundation, instead of simply driving the posts into the ground, adds 20-25% to the cost.

Fences made of thin wicker boards and a blockhouse are more expensive (from 1000 rubles / m2). A fence made of wicker boards attracts attention with its original view, and a fence from a blockhouse wins the hearts of summer residents with the quality of a wooden frame.

Wicker fence

Wooden blockhouse fence

A fence called Rancho came to us from the Wild West. Its main feature is the use of wide horizontal planks or beams fixed on low wooden posts.

Ranch fence - cows will not pass, children will climb

The obvious disadvantage of such a fence is the weak protection of the site from the penetration of unauthorized persons. It is quite understandable, since this fence was created for a vast area of pastures. In terms of the cost of materials and work, the Ranch fence is comparable to the price of a picket fence.

Fans of the rustic style will certainly be interested in the wattle fence - a fence made of hazel or willow branches. It is original, strong enough and durable. With a strong desire, the technique of weaving branches can be mastered with your own hands in a matter of hours. If you have no time to engage in manual creativity, then you will have to pay from 500 rubles for 1m2 for making and installing wattle fence.

Anyone who is going to build an inexpensive fence for a summer residence, we advise you to pay attention to an unedged board. Having freed it from the bark, sanded and opened with varnish, you will get a beautiful fence for your summer cottage at a minimum price (450-550 rubles / m2).

Overlapping unedged boards makes the fence very durable

Regarding the durability of wooden fences, the following must be said: the service life of autoclaved wood increases to 30 years. The service life of an ordinary painted board does not exceed 15 years.

Metal fences

Metal has always been more expensive than wood, but even here summer residents can find acceptable options for themselves:

Rabitz.
Corrugated (woven) mesh.
Welded roll and flat welded mesh (3D).
Euroshtaketnik.
Decking.

Mesh netting - a guest from Australia

The cheapest fence can be built from a chain-link mesh. It is available in various heights (1.0-3.0 meters), lengths (10-18 meters) and mesh sizes (20-100 mm). Galvanizing and polymer coating are used to protect the wire from corrosion.

You can put such a fence by rolling out the mesh and fixing it to metal or concrete posts. The second option is the manufacture of mesh sections (frames from corners or pipes) and their installation on poles.

The longevity of mesh fences reaches 30 years. They do not shade the area and create a serious barrier for uninvited guests. The average cost of 1 m2 of a fence made of a turnkey chain-link mesh is 160-240 rubles / m2.

Corrugated mesh

It was created not for fences, but for sifting crushed stone and gravel (screens). Make steel corrugated mesh from bent wires by the method of perpendicular weaving. The main advantage of this material over the chain-link is its higher rigidity.

The corrugated (crimped) mesh does not go in rolls, but in flat sections measuring 1.75 x 4.5 meters. By fixing it on the posts, we get a high and strong fence. At a price, it is significantly more expensive than a chain-link (400 rubles versus 80 for 1m2). Saving on posts (the width of the section is 4.5 meters versus 2.5 m for the netting of the chain-link) does not save the situation.

Welded mesh

The reasoning about which fence is cheaper drew our attention to the roll welded mesh... The estimated cost of a turnkey fence made of this material in 2016 is 400 rubles per 1m2.

3D welded mesh

Steel wire mesh (3D) in last years very popular with summer residents. Anyone who does not like chain-link fences can order a fence made of this material.

The unusual name 3D is explained in two ways. First of all, it tells us that this mesh is not flat, but formed by a bent wire with a diameter of 3.5 to 5 mm. The second reason is a marketing move that fixes the material in the mind of the buyer due to the general enthusiasm for spatial technologies.

A welded 3D mesh is produced in sections with a height of 0.33 to 3.33 meters and a length of 1.5 to 3 meters. The cost of its turnkey installation is from 500 rubles / m2.

Euroshtaketnik

The habit of adding the prefix "euro" to the title of the material worked this time as well. In its essence, it does not explain anything, but it sounds modern and beautiful. The popularity of wood picket fences prompted stamped metal manufacturers to create something similar. The result is a very aesthetic and durable material.

In terms of service life, wood cannot be compared with it. In addition, a fence made of euro shtaketnik does not require periodic tinting and antiseptic treatment. The protective polymer film, which is used to cover galvanized steel, retains its color and integrity for 25-30 years.

The installation of a fence from a euroshtaketnik, taking into account the cost of materials and work, is from 800 rubles per 1 m2.

The use of euro shtaketnik different color and his non-standard installation make the fence attractive

Corrugated board

The undisputed leader of the suburban "fence construction". The reasons for its popularity are simple installation and durability. To this can be added a huge selection of colors and textured pattern of the profiled sheet.

Fence made of corrugated board with wood imitation. Looks great, lasts a very long time

Given the high demand for fencing made of corrugated board, we will give several recommendations for the selection and installation of this material:

It is advisable to use corrugated board with a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is not much more expensive than 0.4 mm thick flooring, but it will not be covered with dents and will not lose its attractiveness.
If we take the distance between the supports of 3 m, then under the influence of wind loads, the fence canvas will begin to bend, and may lose its original appearance. Therefore, the step of the supports should be no more than 2-2.5 m, ideally 1.5 m.
It is necessary to dig in the pipes of the supports to a depth of at least 1.5 m, they must be concreted.
The fence post should be made of a 60-80 mm pipe, with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm.
It is necessary to take the corrugated board with a double-sided, polymer coating, since the galvanized flooring (without painting) becomes stained in two years, loses its shine and may begin to corrode.

The cost of a fencing made of corrugated board, excluding work, is lower than the price of a fence made of a euro-fence and is approximately 650-900 rubles per 1m2.

Plastic

When thinking about what is cheaper to make a fence from, do not lose sight of such popular material as cellular polycarbonate... It is durable and beautiful, and in a frame made of steel profiles creates a fairly strong enclosing structure.

Fence made of cellular polycarbnate

There are two options for mounting polycarbonate: on steel joists (purlins) or in sections from a profile. The first way is cheaper. Its price starts from 1000 rubles / m2. Installation on sections is more expensive (from 1,500 rubles / m2), but it allows you to get a more durable structure.

Slate

For installation of the fence, you can use both flat and corrugated asbestos-cement slate. The first is stronger because it is thicker.

The installation of a large flat slate (1.5x3 meters) is faster than the installation of a smaller wavy one (1.75x1.125 m). Slate is placed on steel profile girders, welded or bolted to metal posts.

Slate fencing is characterized by high strength, frost and heat resistance. It is more durable than wood and is not afraid of corrosion like metal. A significant drawback of slate is fragility. Another minus slate fence- nondescript gray view... It can be easily corrected by staining with a special paint.

The average cost of slate fences (with work) is 800 rubles / m2.

conclusions

The first place in terms of accessibility is occupied by chain-link fences (200 rubles / m2).

The third position can be awarded to fences made of corrugated board, slate, blockhouse and edged board (700-1000 rubles / m2).

Fence installation

To make the fence very inexpensive, you have to build it yourself. The main points to pay attention to during installation:

The supporting structure of the fence is made in accordance with the weight of the fence.
The foundation supporting structure- must be reliably deepened and fixed in the ground.
Depending on the filling of the fence, the step of the supports is determined.
Before installing the type of fence you have chosen, be sure to take an interest in the technology of its installation, consult with a specialist.

The fence is installed, summing up the results: if you wish, you can always choose such a fence garden plot that will be beautiful, reliable, and relatively cheap.

The first question that arises before the owner who decides to fence off his site is what material to choose for the fence. Indeed, there are many options, it is difficult to choose the best one for yourself. We have collected the most popular materials for site fencing today.

Corrugated board

If the task is to make a solid fence and reliably hide the site from prying eyes, then the popularity of the corrugated board has no competitors. The explanation is simple - this material is the cheapest. And it's easy to assemble a fence made of corrugated board with your own hands.

This material has disadvantages, we do not argue. The corrugated board can be crumpled upon impact, if it is fixed on self-tapping screws, they can loosen over time, there is a risk that the sheets will be unscrewed and stolen, and during the wind a metal sheet may make unpleasant sounds.

but big choice colors, the ability to choose a corrugated board for wood or stone, ease of installation and maintenance, durability and acceptable price make this material a leader in the construction of solid fences.

Wood

The main competitor of corrugated board, while finally unsurpassed by them. Wood - available material allowing you to experiment with fences. Can be done wooden fence whatever - low and high, deaf and with gaps, carved and massive, paint in any color. In addition, if the house on the site is wooden, the same fence will create a harmonious picture.

Of the minuses, processing with fire retardants is desirable, because the tree burns perfectly, you will have to regularly take care of it, renew the paint, and the wood does not serve as long as metal. However, it is not so difficult to repair a wooden fence.

Concrete

Concrete fences attract owners of personal plots with their reliability, durability, and variety of shapes. A simple gray fence can be painted, you can choose a fence to your liking. It is not particularly necessary to take care of the concrete fence, however, during installation, more effort will be required - the fence is heavy.

Rabitz

Inexpensive fencing, which is often used in suburban areas. The main disadvantage is that it does not hide anything, it simply marks the borders and does not allow the neighbors' animals to get to the site. The netting chain-link is in demand due to its ease of installation and low cost.

Brick

Already more expensive, but popular fence material. Brick fences have a number of advantages, including giving the site a well-groomed appearance, looking attractive, one might say elite, differing in a variety of colors and shapes.

Build brick fence more difficult than installing corrugated board or ready-made concrete sections. But on the other hand, the fence will last for a long time, if necessary, it must be repaired.

Forging

Forged fences are always beautiful, graceful, delicate. Yes, they do not hide the site, but they look very elite and attractive. In addition, it is easy to assemble ready-made factory sections. Minus - there are a lot of forged fences, especially if they differ complex shape... But they serve for a long time.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate fences by themselves can look unreliable, too simple and unattractive. But if polycarbonate is combined in a fence with a forging or a netting, it is a completely different matter! This type of fencing is now quite popular due to its excellent result, durability and ease of installation.

We will repeat - we have selected only the most popular materials for fences today. The choice is actually wider. You can use gabions, hedges, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is only gaining popularity, braided branches, a natural stone, even plastic bottles.

The fence, visible to everyone, unlike the interior of the house and the site, is in every sense the face of the owner. But this is an external fence. And there are also fences and fences that divide the site into parts, enclose aviaries and chicken coops, flower beds and paths. Right choice type of fence, suitable material for it, its quantity and value - a whole science. Let's figure out which fence is better to put on summer cottage and from what it can be made.

Types of fences: which is better to put on a summer cottage

By appointment

A fence that encloses the territory. It should represent an inaccessible barrier, at least for other people's dogs and pets. Height and material are very different.
A fence that encloses the area where your pets are located. More often it is made of a chain-link mesh, which does not interfere with the look. But options are also possible here.
Aviary for a dog.
Fence enclosing different areas territory. For example, a utility yard from a garden, a barbecue area from an area where dogs are allowed to run. If possible, this fence should be beautiful and should not obstruct the view.
Small fences for enclosing flower beds and beds. They are often placed if there are dogs on the site: so that they do not dig, gnaw, do not go to the toilet for your precious cucumbers. Often made from ready-made lightweight sections that are dug in and connected to each other.

By material

Brick fence. The most traditional. Doesn't need a roof for a fence. The top is made of the same brick, sometimes laid out in a special way. Pros: durable, beautiful, easy to build. Cons: very expensive, requires pouring a cement foundation - the higher the brick fence, the deeper and more expensive the foundation.
Fence made of expanded clay blocks (cinder blocks) or foam blocks. It is placed in the same way as a brick one. Pros: durable, even easier to build than brick, the foundation can be made from the blocks themselves, buried in several rows into the pit. Cons: Less beautiful than brick, rather expensive.
Fence made of concrete panels. Pros: eternal, requires absolutely no maintenance. Cons: for installation you need a crane, for installation - deep
side capital foundation. Ugly, looks like a fence in an industrial area.
Stone fence. There are a lot of varieties: river stone, sandstone, granite, and even pebbles in a wire mesh frame. Pros: beautiful, durable. Cons: very expensive, heavy, requires a foundation.
Metal wrought iron fence... Pros: perhaps the most beautiful; does not require a roof. Cons: perhaps the most expensive; does not protect from looks; requires brick or stone pillars, for which, in turn, the foundation needs to be poured.
Cast metal fence, imitation forging. Pros: the same, but much cheaper than the previous one. The disadvantages are the same.
Metal fence made of the so-called corrugated board. The corrugated board can be mounted on metal I-beams, channels or corners embedded in the ground or embedded in the ground, or maybe on brick, block or stone pillars. With good coloring and processing of the roof (the so-called drip) does not require, but it is better to put it all the same so that nothing rusted. Pros: durable, inexpensive, lightweight, even looks good with a good frame and color. There are practically no downsides.
Plastic fence made of hardboard boards or any other plastic, or ready-made modules. In everything it is similar to a fence made of corrugated board, but cheaper and lighter. Depending on the type of plastic, it can be opaque or translucent.
Metal mesh fence. It could be reinforcing mesh for concrete pouring(the cross section of the rod is about 8 millimeters, the cell size is about 10 centimeters), or a metal aviary flat mesh with different sizes cells, or the so-called elastic mesh netting. Pros: minimal cost and ease of installation - you can do without foundation and capital supports. Cons: complete transparency and easy overcoming.

Solid wood fence. It is mounted in the same way as a fence made of corrugated board, but they are added to the options for pillars wooden logs... Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, beautiful. Cons: Requires a drip tip and special treatment against decay and deformation for protection from rain.

Wooden fence made of openwork shields. It is similar to the previous one, but does not interfere with the view. The pros and cons are the same.
Wooden fence made of boards. The difference with the previous one is that the fence is assembled from separate boards, not shields. The pluses are the same. The cons are the same, but manufacturing is a little more time consuming than the previous one.
Wooden fence made of horizontal logs, imitating a frame. Pros: beautiful, durable. Cons: expensive, requires pillars and foundations.
Wooden fence made of pillars dug into the ground (palisade), or its imitation. Pros: looks very stylish and beautiful. Cons: Difficulty in assembly, the cost is higher than that of other wooden fences.
A wooden fence made of a flexible rod on supports (wicker). Pros: incredibly stylish, cheap, easy to perform, you can buy ready-made wicker shields. Cons: strictly speaking, this is generally a symbolic semblance of a fence. Although psychologically he separates the territory well.
Wooden picket fence. Can buy ready-made modules from the slats, you can assemble the fence yourself. Pros: Very cheap, requires little wood, easy to build. Cons: low, transparent, requires processing from decay and deformation. Basically, it is protection from pets and dogs.
Plastic fence made of plastic picket fence. Pros: cheap, easy to buy any profile, does not rot, does not require protection from rain and snow. The disadvantages are the same as with the wooden picket fence.
Reed wicker fence... In Russia, it practically does not occur. Although beautiful and very durable for its material. Pros: easy to install, lightweight, tall, opaque, fairly durable. Cons: It is very difficult to find reed shields in Russia.
Fence from plastic bottles... This, of course, is completely exotic - but it is loved by summer residents and is often found.
Fences that are a combination of all of the above options.
A hedge of boxwood, thuja, spruce. It may well replace a full-fledged fence. In the climate near Moscow, growing it is quite problematic, but possible.

Criterias of choice

There are not many of them. You bought or acquired a property. The first thing that any owner does, even before the construction of a house, is to build at least a symbolic, and more often - a capital and high fence to mark the territory and hide from prying eyes. It is good if your plot or house is in a village where good-neighborly relations are still preserved. And if you have settled in a new suburban village, where no one knows anyone yet and there are a lot of working teams of unknown origin around, then a high fence is the only guarantee of your safety. But in this case, its cost can be compared with the cost of the house itself.

Countryside settlement may be high level, with security and electronic security systems... Then a high fence is completely unnecessary to protect against intruders. It just acts as a screen from prying eyes.

But there is another theory: that the fence is the expression of the character of its owner. An open wattle fence is as different from a three-meter brick bastion as a gullible extrovert is from a pragmatic unsociable.

There is a third point: the attitude towards the owner, which has developed over the centuries, according to the height of his fence. If the fence is high and impenetrable, then either you are a good zealous owner, or you have something to hide.

A few simple rules to choose from:

In the end, it all depends on your character, preferences and taste, on how much you are willing to spend on the purchase and installation or construction of a fence, and on the functions that are required from this particular fence. You may well rely on the classification of fences given above.

But the very first, simple and cheap option for a country fence is a grid. It can be different.

What to do: choose a mesh for the fence

A mesh fence is good for many reasons: low price, ease of installation - even a teenager can easily do this, it is permeable to the sun and air, and because of this, the mesh does not visually reduce or divide the area, although it performs its functions of defining it. Due to its plasticity, it can be installed on the terrain of any relief.

Rabitz

This familiar name comes from the name of the German engineer Karl Rabitz, who invented it. The chain-link is of three types.
