How to install a fence from corrugated board on a slope Favorite
Installation of any fence on uneven terrain has its own characteristics. We will consider how to install a fence from corrugated board in the most simple and affordable way on the slope of the site.
There are two methods that are commonly used. The first is to build a fence along the terrain, the second is to make a fence in the form of steps.
The first method is used for a gentle slope, but still, it is very labor-intensive, since you will have to level the ground in places, which means moving it in large volumes. If it is good to calculate, then taking into account the time spent, the construction of a stepped foundation will be cheaper.
But for its construction it will be necessary to make a geodetic survey of the site where the installation of the fence is planned in order to accurately calculate the height differences. Because for a strip foundation, the depth of concrete laying will be different. For each span, it will be necessary to fill in a separate "step" of the foundation.

Then a trench is rummaged. For clay soil, the formwork can not be installed, the walls of the trench will play its role, but at the same time, the bottom should be carefully measured using the level on all segments of the trench. If the soil is loose, formwork is necessary.
On top of the sand cushion, a rubiroid is placed at the bottom of the trench. The soil will in any case crumble when installing the formwork, and it is easier to get it. Then, with wooden blocks, indicate the perimeter at the corners. Mount racks, which then expose around the perimeter. To them, strictly vertically, fasten the upper formwork boards. Installation begins from the very top, where the top board is laid close to the ground.
And so you go down, adjusting the formwork to the relief, that is, the number of boards in different sections will not be the same.
Shields should be well fixed before pouring.
Then install the posts by simply sticking them into the ground. Lay reinforcing material in the trench, tie reinforcement in the corners. To smooth the foundation, pour concrete into layers, and make the last layer not very thick.
In the places where the pillars are installed, the pits should be 20 centimeters wider. Before pouring into the pits under the pillars, add stone and gravel and compactly compact. When installing on a slope, the main pillars should be well aligned so that they stand horizontally and in one line. Fill supports only after careful alignment.
When mounting sheets of corrugated board, make sure that the logs are fixed at the same distance. The sheets are lapped and with a sufficient number of attachment points, since the fence will be on a hill, where there may be strong gusts of wind.
