How to build a brick fence ^Favorite

The advantages of brick the fence can be listed for a long time. This is a reliable and durable construction, designed for many years. And the use of decorative brick gives the fence a very attractive look.

Of course, building a brick fence yourself, without the involvement of specialists, is not easy and will take a lot of time, but it is real. Everything needs to be done sequentially. First, select the material, then calculate the amount, mark the area, lay the foundation and lay out the masonry.

The foundation for the depth fence should be the same as the foundation near the house. Or at least no less than 80 cm. Width approximately 30 cm. Where there will be columns, of course, wider. We lay the bottom of the trench with brick and reinforcement using knitting wire.

The places where the gate and gate will be located should also be considered. Brick pillars in this place should be strengthened, since they will have the main load. For these purposes, steel channels of at least 160 mm are best suited. After everything is ready, fill the trench with concrete.

As the base hardens, we build a basement. Here you should pay attention to waterproofing. For reliability, it is better to lay it in two places, on concrete and socle. You can use roofing material, or other options, the construction of the blind area will serve as a good protection. To protect the brick fence from above, it is covered with a decorative metal roof 50 mm wide.
To make the poles reliable, a reinforcement frame is made under them.

Before erecting the masonry, it is better to wet the brick, this will contribute to better adhesion to the fence. During construction, masonry in one row is usually used, but if you plan the height of the fence above two meters, then for stability it is better to lay the brick in two rows. Using stretched twine, keep an eye on the styling level. When the brick is laid out, treat the joints with a protective compound.
