How to build a cinder block fence

What are cinder blocks, probably everyone knows, today they are used quite widely, of which they lay the foundation, erect walls for houses, as well as fences. In general, where it is possible to replace the brick, cinder blocks are used as a cheaper material. It fits perfectly for the fence. The main thing is that even an amateur will be able to build a fence of cinder blocks. So you don’t need to hire anyone, you can do everything yourself.

You need to start with the plan, draw yourself such a scheme, and then designate it on the ground. Then prepare the materials. What you need - fittings, everything for mortar and tools, trowel, hammer, level, plumb. It would be nice to buy or borrow a concrete mixer somewhere, things will go faster with it, but this is not the point, the solution can be mixed manually.

Calculating how much cinder block is needed is also not difficult, calculate how many are needed by one row, and multiply by the number of rows. You must always take with a margin, otherwise it will be a shame if a couple of pieces are not enough.

How long such a fence will stand for 80% depends on the foundation. Therefore, the trench should be deep reinforced in the middle. After pouring, the foundation should dry well. Cinder blocks are not friends with dampness, this is their weak point. Be sure to lay the rubiroid on the foundation and already on top of it make the laying of the first row. Do not rely on your eye, pull the rope along the masonry and use a plumb line. The solution needs to fill all the joints, both horizontal and vertical, then the fence will be strong.

When the masonry is completely finished, apply another layer of the solution somewhere in one centimeter. After everything dries, and this is three days, you can apply another layer, but already thinner, about half a centimeter.
Everything, the fence is ready. When completely dry, you can paint it in all the colors of the rainbow, on the cinder blocks the paint lays down perfectly.
