Making a fence from a mesh netting | Installation, installation, selection of material ^Favorite

The types of materials that are used today for the construction of metal fences in summer cottages and country houses have changed markedly. The requirements for fences have increased and it is rarely possible to meet an ordinary picket fence, and not everyone can afford a brick fence. Therefore, a metal mesh becomes very relevant. The cost of the fence from the netting net allows people with low incomes to use this material, and the ease of installation and the ease of construction allows you to make the fence yourself, without the use of equipment and hired workers. In addition, the netting net is ideal for fencing gardens and vegetable gardens, as it does not give shade and does not interfere with air circulation.

 

 

What are the fences from the netting netting

 

The mesh netting is of three types:

1. The cheapest of ordinary black metal.
2. Better galvanized steel
3. Polymer coated mesh

Since the black metal mesh is the cheapest, it is most often used. But since the metal of this mesh is not protected, it requires constant care, that is, painting and possibly more than once. Factory-painted and galvanized nets are much more practical and require almost no maintenance, therefore their service life is much longer, but the price is correspondingly much higher. The most modern look is a polymer coated mesh. It is available in different colors and in its quality is not inferior to the galvanized version, and most importantly, it has a very aesthetic appearance.

Stage-by-stage installation of a fence made of mesh netting

 

Chain-link, very comfortable material, flexible and light. Therefore, the installation of a fence made of mesh netting can be carried out without special skills and complex tools. The grid is usually installed in two ways - tension, and sectional.
The easiest way to use the tension option is faster and cheaper. The usual mesh width is up to 1.5 meters, which means that it is necessary to select supports at such a height, naturally taking into account the depth of landing in the ground. In general, all we need is a net, poles and nails.

Preparation and marking of the territory

Carries out the necessary purchases only after marking up the territory and making the necessary calculations. To mark the site, we knock the pegs around the perimeter and pull the cord between them. By the length of the cord, we will know how many meters of mesh we need. It should be borne in mind that in a roll there is usually up to 20 meters of net, and the optimal span width should be no more than 2.5 meters. Also, during the marking, it is necessary to clean the territory so as not to do this during the installation of the fence.

Materials purchase

Depending on the purpose of the fence, you need to choose a facing canvas. If you breed poultry, you need to choose a net with small holes. And if you just need to protect the entire area, then the size of the cells does not matter.
The choice of pillars also depends on the purpose of the fence. Mesh netting - the material is quite light, so in order to save it you can also mount it on wooden supports, but still, if you want to have a solid fence for a long time, it is better to use metal pipes. Pay the main attention to angular support, it is better to pick them up stronger and more authentic.

Installation of fence supports

After marking in the designated places, you need to dig holes for the pillars. The distance between them, as already mentioned, should not be more than 2.5 meters. If you have the opportunity to use the drill, then the work will go faster. It is advisable to make pits at least 1.5 meters so that the pipes are in the ground below the freezing layer.At the bottom you need to make a pillow of rubble or stones so that the pipe does not sag. Before installation, do not forget to treat the lower part of the pipe with an anti-corrosion compound, as an option, you can cover it with a special primer.
First, the supports are installed at the corners, they must be especially carefully measured using the level, since the rest will be aligned on the corner posts .. It does not matter which pillars you choose, metal or wooden, it is still better to concrete them.

Mesh mounting

After carrying out all these robots and solidifying concrete, you can proceed with the installation of the metal sheet. Installation of the mesh netting, although not difficult, but requires the correct phased actions. The main task, thus pulling the canvas to prevent sagging. Therefore, to begin with:

• pull the twine along the lower and upper edges;
• deploy a roll along the line of the entire future fence;
• if you need more than one roll, then you need to deploy them all to connect the edges into one common canvas;
• fasten the grid to pre-welded hooks, if there are none, then to the wire or plastic ties.

For work, you will need an assistant, when pulling the grid at the same time as the top and bottom, one cannot hold it. For work, use a metal rod, it is convenient for them to tighten the grid by threading into the upper cells. If there is an assistant, and you prepared all the materials in advance, then the installation process will not take much time.

Some installation features and helpful tips

 

Mesh netting in many respects is a convenient material, for an easy fence on the site you can’t imagine any better.
To simplify the installation of the fence, you can use some tips:

• to prevent sagging of the structure in wet weather, it is possible to put steel strong reinforcement on top, and if you fix two such reinforcement, top and bottom, then the fence will hold no worse than the section;
• it is better to connect the rolls without turning, you just need to unscrew the edge of one roll and connect to the beginning of the grid of another;
• it is better not to circle the posts at the corners with a net, but to fix them in place, so you will reduce the load on the post;
• in order to avoid injury, the antennae that are on the edge of the canvas must be twisted and bent;
• if the fence is black wire, painting must be carried out immediately after installation.
