Lags for concrete floor: how to fix them (anchors, self-drawing, corners), put it right? Wooden fence on metal pillars with their own hands: Features of the design way of fastening Stilin to the fence

Any owner of the country area is quite fairly trying in any way to upset their possessions. Thus, the construction of the fence is always included in the list of priority tasks, and it is often started to mount even before the start of the main house. Options for designs of such fences - a great set. But despite the highly wide range of materials offered for sale, both general construction and specially intended for the construction of fences, wooden fences remain among the most popular.

Wooden hedges were used by the time of time, and proved their practicality. True, a vulnerable place was and remains of the fence - wood from constant contact with the soil quickly succumb to the biological decomposition, and the eyelids of the wooden pillars, alas, a non-national. But nothing in our time prevents a more solid decision. So, for example, a wooden fence on metal pillars will live significantly longer. . It is about such fences and will be discussed in this publication.

The construction of the territory fence must be carried out in compliance with all current standards and rules as carefully as the construction of a residential building or production premises.
One of the important stages of the fencing device is the installation of horizontal lags (alive) to which the fillings of the spans are attached between the columns - the stakenice, profiled metal, wooden panels, forged lattices, 3D mesh blocks, etc.
Previously, details for fastening the details of the metal pillar were welded, mortgage parts were inserted into a concrete or brick pillar, and the horizontal lags were already attached to them.
Such fences demanded a serious anti-corrosion protection, and visually looked "not very".
Modern fences, as a rule, are simple combined modular designs - durable, durable and original.

Metal fastening

Consider the procedure for the installation of the lag (stable, crossbar) on the example of the construction of the most inexpensive, popular and beautiful fence from the metal profile.
Most often, metal poles from round or profiled pipes are most often used to fastening lags, to which with the help of bolts of a suitable diameter (depending on the cross section, the fasteners are attached. The same procedure for fastening the lag to the brick, stone and concrete pillars that have metal mortgage parts.
If you buy in the store at once a set of fence elements, it should include fasteners for Lag:
  • X brackets;
  • different types of lag holders;
  • rivets;
  • self-tapping screw;
  • Bolts with nuts.
Installation of lag occurs in such a sequence:
  1. Place the places of attachment of the holders of the lag. With the height of the fence up to 1.5 meters, there are enough two horizontal alive. If above, up to and more than 2 meters, three are installed. Lags should be attached at a distance of 25-35 cm from the lower and top edge of the professional leaf.
  2. H-brackets are attached to the post in places marking.
  3. In horizontal lags drill holes under the bolts.
  4. Lags are attached directly.
Usually, metallic profiled or round tubes are used in such a design, but it is possible to use and durable wooden bars.

Fastening Lag to the columns using welding

Carnate lags to metal racks can be electrical welding. The same applies to concrete and stone pillars with mortgage elements.
Lags to the pillar can be welded in such ways:
  1. in front of the riser of jack;
  2. front post with holder;
  3. on the side of the post, closer to the front side of the fence.
Welding is a reliable way of fastening, but with it there is a need for stripping, primer and painting welding places to prevent rust, corrosion. The fact is that the details of the fence are sold already painted, or a good owner paints them before mounting, and the welding destroys the protective coating. And the finished fastener for the professional flooring, which also has a protective coating, significantly accelerates the installation of horizontal lag.

When you need to get a solid opaque fence, the optimal option is a straightening. It has a long service life, a modern decorative appearance, which can be given any color and it is difficult to overcome. Before construction, you need to select the color of the fence, decide on the height and select the location of the gate and wicket. For a solid fence, a height of at least 1.7 m is selected. It is desirable to choose a standard version of 2 m. An important parameter to determine the height is the length of the professional leaf that will be used for the fence. The high solid fence will provide better security, so the professional knots are not needed specifically. It is necessary to choose a variant of a multiple length to cover it without waste.

The gate and gate usually have a nearby. It is not only very convenient, but also gives savings on one post. In this case, only three posts are required under the gate and gate instead of four. You can do the gate at all if the gate is light and not automatic. In any case, you need to choose the optimal option, consistent with the local conditions.

Design of fence made of professional flooring with columns

Conceptual image of a fence design with brick columns

Installing columns

For a fence from the proflist, you do not need to use wooden poles. A good option is a profile thick-walled pipe. Brick pillars look very decorative, but this option is expensive, especially if there is no brick factory in the region. The cross section of brick pillars should be at least 1.5 x 1.5 bricks. Vertical reinforcement rods are paved in the center of the brick post. Some brick varieties are unstable to moisture, so a concrete foundation is needed by brick columns. It is constructed according to standard technology for columnar foundations. Pits are placed and digging along the stretched shoelace.

A section of 10 x 10 cm and more is suitable for the profile pipe and more. The distance between the columns is 2.5 m. This is a standard option. You do not need to save on the shutoff of the posts in the ground. To dig a pit is comfortable by the Yamoburn, and if it is not or the soil is dense - an electric jackhammer with a grinding of the soil to cell. Blowing for two-meter pillars - 70 cm. For columns of another height, it should be 1/3 of the overhead length. Poles under the gate and gate, as well as the corner concrete need necessarily. Another is also desirable, especially if there are strong winds in your region. To save, you can use concrete M100 - M200. The profile tube is better to paint in the color of the fence before immersion in the ground. So supports will serve more.

Installation Lag.

The standard distance between the columns is 2.5 m. The width of the sheet of professional flooring is up to 1.5 m. In order for them to be located with the vertical direction of the corrugation, lags are needed. They are also made from the profile pipe with 1/4 from the pillar. For columns, you can also apply a round tube. For lag - only profile. Lags are located in two levels. For a two-meter fence, it is 30 cm from the ground and as much from the top of the post.

For strength and resistance to overcoming corrugations, professional should be located vertically. In addition, such a fence visually looks higher, especially if it is for professional flooring to choose a light color. Vertical corrugations create a sharp edge at the top of the fence. If the corrugations are horizontally, then the edge is easier to heat and its mechanical strength decreases.

Lags are fixed to the columns from the side of the section with welding and bolts. Bolts provide a collapsible compound, which is preferable if the soil is weak and fences are sometimes pulled. The connection should not consist only of one bolt. For the greatest strength to bending, the optimal cross section of the profile pipe should be with the aspect ratio of 5: 7 or square. Then resistance to bending in both planes will be the same. When installing lag, you need to control them in terms of level. It is convenient for a specially made hose level with an equal distance between the columns plus 1 m.

Conduct metal lags to columns in two ways

On brick columns, you need to provide a dowel for fastening bolts with lags in advance when laying. You can mount steel rods or eyeles and lags just to weld them.

Color

The collected fear of the fence (pillars and lags) is desirable to paint before installing the professional flooring. Very often you can see how on the fence, the professional flooring is in good condition, and the pipes and lags were already covered with rust. The reason here is one - bad painting and anti-corrosion protection. Therefore, the color must be carried out carefully. Surface need to be cleaned. Apply grinding power tools is very tedious, so more often used to convert rust. Paint is applied on it. Often it is chosen in the tone of the proflist.

Profile pipes for pillars and lag can be bought already painted. Many enterprises selling metal rolling have their manufacturing workshop. It is there that it is best to make professional color and complex anti-corrosion protection. This is a very good option that guarantees a long service life of the fence frame. The frame of painted pipes is assembled on bolts. The connections themselves and swirling bolts are repeated. Similarly, it is necessary to act if welding is applied there.

Installation of profrehet

This is the main stage of mounting the fence. Professional is fixed to lags using self-tapping screws or rivets. To install rivets, you need a special tool. Aluminum rivets in contact with steel it is impossible. Self-pressing is much more convenient. There is a conventional screwdriver.

Fall of sheets must be at least one "wave". Self-tapping screws can be placed on the side of the corrugations. Then they will be much less to spoil the type of vertical corrugations of the fence. In this case, for a drill, you need to make a special empistance to conveniently drill at the same angle. Self-tapping screws in three waves or more often. Frequent location does not reduce strength, as they are driving only one side of the lag. When all the screws are twisted, the installation of the fence is completed.

At the final stage, plastic plugs are installed on the poles. Such accessories can be inexpensive in large building stores. Also, they often paint the heads of self-tapping screws, conduct tints of fasteners, eliminate the detected small defects.

The fence performs not only the protective function - this is also a kind of "business card" of the owner of the site. It is according to his type of passersby judge about the level of wealth of owners, their taste and even character. So, the feck need to pay no less attention than the house and economic buildings. What should be the fence? Of course, durable, unpretentious and have an attractive look. And it is also desirable that its installation cost as low as possible.

All these requirements are satisfied with the fences from the profile sheet on concrete pillars. Judge for yourself! Neither frost nor hot sun is terrible. It has good noise insulating and windproof qualities, and will be able to make your plot more cozy. This is a durable and durable material, since its service life is at least twenty years. And concrete supports are durable, durable and inexpensive.

Methods of construction

There are two options for building a fence from a profile sheet on concrete pillars. You can buy ready-made supports. In this case, the time saves, but you cannot be sure of the quality of concrete, you will have to be content with the pillars of standard shape and sizes. In addition, the problem of fastening of the professional flooring will inevitably arise to a completely smooth concrete pole.

And it is possible to cast a support yourself, spending some time, but be further confident in their strength, be able to create exclusive pillars, and, moreover, to solve the problem of mortgage elements to which lags will be mounted.

If you choose the second option - we begin the construction of the fence, breaking it into several stages.

Material for carcass

It is possible to create a pillar, followed by its installation in the ground or monolithic casting, in which the support is manufactured directly at the installation site. To create a column in the first way, you must first make a formwork. Material can be:

  • wooden box corresponding to dimensions (for square sections). The inner surface of the box is covered with plastic and is closed with polyethylene;
  • running along a metal tube, pulled by clamps (for round supports). Inside the pipe must be missed with a diesel or throughout, so that concrete is not adhesive to the metal.

In addition, consider that concrete with all its merits does not differ in the strength of the break. Therefore, to eliminate this disadvantage you will need fittings.

Two manufacturing technologies

If the pillar has a cross section of 10x10 cm, then there are enough four rods with a diameter of 1 cm and a wire with a thickness of 0.8 cm in order to tie or cook, creating an armature frame.

The sizes of the frame must be such that it surrounds with a layer of concrete from all sides with a thickness of at least 2 cm, otherwise the moisture will quickly destroy the reinforcement, and after it is the pillar itself.
For a concrete mixture, fine crushed stone and sand - 3 parts, cement - 1 part, water - 20% of solid components, various dyes and additives, accelerating concrete grapplation, hydrophobic, increasing frost resistance and other additives.

First method

First, the layer of concrete is poured into the formwork with a thickness of 2 cm. Then the reinforcement frame is installed, and the shape is filled to the top. The concrete mix is \u200b\u200bnecessary to expose vibrations to avoid the formation of shells, weakening the design. After pouring the concrete, the formwork disassembled, so it is better to make it on the screws.

Do not forget about the mortgages, to which the lags will later be attached! They must come about 15 cm beyond the pillar, so in the formwork it will be necessary to make slots in the right places, and the metal plates themselves welcome to the reinforcement, after pre-determining their location.

Second way

The monolithic casting process is similar to the above described, with the difference that in this case the hole is made in the ground, the crushed stone layer is poured into it 2 cm. Next, the frame is installed and is installed concrete.

After it grabbies, the formwork is set, and the pillar is concreted into several stages, the mixture is compacted each time with vibration or plug.

Before installing previously cast columns, or when drilling the holes for monolithic casting, thoroughly mark the site and determine the position of the angular columns. Between them, pull the twine and place the place for the rest of the supports.

Molded pillars are installed in the prepared wells, on a sandy or crouching pillow, fixed with wedges and concreted in layers with a seal of each of the layers.

When using sheets of professional flooring is optimal, the distance between them is 2.5 meters. Do not forget to note where the wicket will stand and (or) the gate.

Take into account several nuances

The fence from the corrugated floor is a solid construction, and, it means that there will be large wind loads, so the depth of the wells should be about 2/3 of the height of the fence (for example, at a height of the fence 180 cm, a glass of 120 cm depth is needed).

Concrete supports are pretty heavy, and with the slightest deviation from the vertical during the installation in the future they will be larger than. Carefully check their verticality using a level or plumb.

With wet soils and high frosty powders, supports need additional gain, so in this case the well is performed with an extension at the bottom (with a monolithic casting) or a concrete sole is created more than a pillar, diameter (if the posts were cast in advance).
Taking advantage of a plumb and twine stretched on top of the corner columns, make sure that the height of all the support is the same, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the distortion.

When the concrete clutches, the tops of the supports should be protected from the rain and the effects of other adverse factors with special caps. Consider that the diameter of the caps should be about 10 cm more than the diameter of the pillar. If the supports are already installed, go to the next step.

We weld the lags

First, it should be fixed (welded) on the mortgage lags - the steel transverse profile, which will later be attached to the profile sheet. For them, you can take a metal pipe with a cross section of 25 - 40 mm (the pipe of a smaller diameter may not withstand the weights of metal sheets).

The number of lag depends on the height of the fence: if it is not more than 1.8 meters, then there are enough two lags, with a greater height, it is better to use three lags. Consider that the upper lag is attached at a distance of 30 cm from the top of the columns. Lower - at a distance of 30 cm from the soil. And the average (if needed) - in the middle.
In advance, at the stage of casting concrete poles, decide on the height of the fence and, according to this parameter, find the attachment points of the mortgages, then with the installation of the lag you will not have any problems!

After the lags are welded, welding places must be cleared, brew and paint all metal parts. Finally, the last stage.

Choosing professional flooring

First, a few words about this material: after all, the appearance of your fence will depend on it.

First, you need a wall professional flooring, intended for these purposes, and not roofing.

Secondly, when you choose, pay attention not only to the color, but also on quality. Distinguish the following types of wall professional flooring:

  1. C-8. Leader sales due to low prices.
  2. C-10. It will be stronger and tougher, moreover, has a more attractive appearance.
  3. C-14. The best option, if for your fence is the likelihood of any mechanical damage.
  4. C-15. A sheet with a wide rib, which will make the originality to give your feck.
  5. C-18 and C-20. The most durable and hard sheets used for high fences.

Consider the thickness of the profile. For wall sheet, this parameter must be at least 0.4 mm (better - 0.45 mm). Sheets with less thickness can only be used to create temporary fences.

No less important is the type of coating. Remember that zinc coating (sheet will be metal color), although the cheapest, but short-lived. The polymer coating, when a synthetic resin is applied on the zinc layer, increases the resistance of the sheet to aggressive factors and extends its service life. Plaserisol is the most reliable, but also the most expensive coating.
Be sure to check that the sheets are smooth, without scratches, evenly scratched. When buying, make sure that the packaging film is integrity.

Fastening to lagas

Sheets are collected by braziness and are attached to lags with a 3.5 cm long-lying lags. Try to get the screws of the same color as the fence - the design will look better.

Be sure when working with this material, use gloves, otherwise cuts and scratches can not be avoided. Pain in advance the paint can of the same color as the brawl in the case of scratches, possible when installing and during operation.

It is recommended to install sheets to perform in a protective PET film: it will protect the sheet from most damage. But immediately after installation, the film should be removed, otherwise, under the action of UV rays, she tightly stick to the metal, and to remove it in the future will be problematic.

Over time, polyethylene will lose transparency, the places will be broken, hanging down with flocks, and give yours, in all the rest of the ideal, the fence is an untidy look.

The installation of fences requires the use of high-quality fastening components, which are able to provide fences due durability and durability. One of the most important structural elements of the fence, in addition to pillars, can be confidently called lags, or - they are stable. They are consistent with horizontal jumpers to which the installation of the fence from the professional flooring, a metal stakenik or wooden fences are installed. Lags (stated) are attached to the supporting columns of the fence predominantly on welding. However, today it is not the best solution. Welded connections often do not appear aesthetic, but most importantly - over time they rust and require constant care. The places of compounds that were welded by welding have to be constantly tying, since in the process of attachment, damage to the protective layer of metal, which protects the design from corrosion is inevitable. It is also worth noting that applying welding is not everywhere, in particular, for this you need access to power grids that do not always have in places of fence. The use of the generator entails additional costs.

In this regard, today the fastening connections are gaining increasing popularity: fasteners for pillars and lags, as well as X-brackets. They are not much inferior on the strength characteristics of welding, and at the same time have a number of undeniable advantages. The mounting connections largely increase the speed of installation, in addition, the already attached logs are easy to remove and install back or on a new place. When installing the spanings of the fence using fastening compounds, damage to their protective layer painted with soil enamels, galvanized or powder coating is excluded.

The holder for the lag of fever fasteners for pillars and lags are manufactured on another principle: curved metal elements made from sheet metal, which are connected to industrial welding, after which they are covered with zinc-containing soil and powder paint. Metal fasteners for pillars are produced different models and sizes.

X-brackets are made by stamping from a all-metal sheet and subsequent processing of hot dip galvanizing products. The result is a cross-shaped design with curved edges with holes for fastening the X bracket to the post of fence and fastening the lag.

Installation of fasteners for pillars and lag fence

The process of installing a fence from a professional flooring, a metal stakenik or wooden fences with the help of fasteners is quite simple. On the support pillars, the fence is marked in places of attachment of fasteners. The fastener is applied to the table, lag is inserted into it, the horizontal of which is checked by the construction level. Then, the mount is screwed to the pole with bolts or roofing screws. X-Bracket is attached by the same principle.

Installation of lag using holders

Fasteners are easy to use. Their use can significantly accelerate the installation processes and significantly increase the aesthetics, reliability and quality of the design of the fence. Our company provides services for the installation of turnkey fences and performs certain types of work: drilling holes for fence poles, installation of metal columns from a round and profile pipe, installation of lag with a welded method or using fastening elements, installation of corrugated flooring and other construction work.

How to fix it live to the round posts of the fence? [QUESTION]

I installed metal pipes as pillars for the fence, a question arose the joining of the "ears" for attachment alive to the columns. But on the Internet, I did not find any information, what size it is recommended to make these "ears", I miss my experience to determine this. Station are planned wooden, 100x50 mm, the length of the span is 2.5 m; Poles D \u003d 76 mm What height, thickness and lengths are better to make "ears" so that it is convenient to mount stable and the fastening turned out to be reliable? And how best to fix it live to the ears - on bolts, nails or in some other way?

The answer. The policy of alhips, they are absolutely nothing to do. Especially with such a small span. 60x40 mm what is called, "for the eyes."

As for the "ears", they are generally not needed. Drill your pipe through, and fastened by conventional bolts with a 10-long threaded bolts in 120 mm as shown in the figure. That would not be spinned, put the shears of Grovers. You can crop the ends of the bolts a couple of millimeters to protrude for the nut and split.

The heads of the bolts are drowned in the stable.

Unfortunately, you did not indicate the material of the fence.

The construction of fencing around the perimeter of the site requires strict compliance with the construction rules at all stages of work. The slightest deviation from the established norms may cause the deformation of the hedge. Before proceeding with the construction of the fence, for example, from a professional flooring, you should know exactly how to install poles, how to fix professional flooring, which use fixing products (self-tapping screws, bracket, claw, rivets).

So the self-tapping screws with rubber washers look like on the screws of a professional flooring to the fence frame

Fastening the lugs of the hedge of lightweight building materials, such as a professional sheet, fence from the stakenice or wooden boards, must be carried out only with the use of high-quality components. In the former times of lags, the fence from the proflist was joined to the support screw pile of welding. Such work was under the power of only professionals and implied the presence of an electricity and welding equipment on the site. Fences made with welding did not always look like a preiform for aesthetics and needed constant anti-corrosion treatments in fastening places.

Modern fences for household plots are predominantly modular fences made without welding, which are easy to assemble, original and durable. They are sets consisting of supports, sections and fasteners.

The option of fastening the transverse lag to the pillars of the fence

Fasteners for such fences also correspond to modern trends. In most cases, metal frames are fastened using such devices such as a clamp or bracket.

In recent years, a well-proven X-fastener for the fence has been very popular, providing a fast, aesthetic and high-quality connection. Any fasteners for a professional flooring or other sections canvas is a product specifically designed for construction work. Fastening the lag of the proflist with the help of modern methods of fixing, even beginners.

Fasteners for the fence made of fence is performed from high-quality steel coated with anti-corrosion powder or zinc. On the lags, the poles and canvas of the fence are provided for various fasteners and additional components, such as rivets, clamp or suitable bracket.

Example of clamps of various types for fastening the proflist to the post

You can buy these accessories on any specialized market, in online stores or in building goods supermarkets.

The fence fastener for the professional flooring is represented by two main types:

  • Bracket or X-bracket;
  • Fasteners on lags and poles.

Clamp, bracket or rivets are designed for different types of fixation. Their correct combination will help firmly connect pillars and horizontal stable (lags). You can buy these parts each, and simplicity of their use does not require any experience, nor the use of special devices and devices.

Drawing of possible options for fastening Lag to the post

Thanks to such products like fasteners for professional flooring, polycarbonate, stakenice or wood, the construction of fences of any complexity is much facilitated.

Fasteners for a profile, such as bracket, is made by stamping from a hot metal sheet. The fastening clamp, with which the pillars are connected to lags, is made of metal bent parts cooked with each other.

The finished bracket is processed by hot galvanizing, and welded fasteners are painted by protective powdered coloring substances.

These accessories provide a feast of aesthetics, good wear resistance and solid fixation for the entire service life. The finishing of the professional flooring to the fence with the help of fasteners is becoming an increasingly popular way to connect structures.

Scheme of the right fastener of the sheet of corrugated carcass to the frame

The advantages of applying this method of fixation include the following:

  • Convenience and simplicity of the connection;
  • Availability;
  • Quick pace of mounting;
  • All the locations of the docking look beautiful and neat;
  • There is no need for the presence of electricity and welding machines;
  • The integrity of the upper layer of the mounted structures is observed.

Special fasteners for the professional flooring, for example, the clamp helps to connect pillars, crossbars and the fence sections are firmly and efficiently. At the same time, the elements of the fence are not exposed to gross and mechanical damage.

Such a connection gives the hedge of external beauty, integrity and provides a long service life. If you need to rearrange the pillars, change the fastening of the lag or dismantle the fence, then it can be done without damaging the prefabricated components.

Most often, fences from the professional leaf are elapsed around the country and land plots.
This material is universal, durable, is available and durable. Professional is used as a fence overlapping everywhere. It will be easy to work with him even a novice builder. A large range of colors and an assortment of patunaled sheets adds to him popularity. You can buy a quality product in many stores of the country and for a relatively low price.

The fabulosis of the material from the steel sheet, which was galvanized and anti-corrosion processing. The primer is applied over the protective layers. The last coating of the product - the fence from the professional flooring is covered with paint with polymer components. In order for the construction of the fence to the canvas, it is not possible to damage, it is necessary to use only special fastes like a clamp or brackets.
