How to build a fence from a grid

how to build a fence from a mesh netting yourself

Why is fencing made of mesh considered the most successful option for a summer cottage? Yes, because this material does not darken the plants, and for a small area it is very important. Also build a fence from a mesh netting not at all difficult. And the advantages of such a fence are more than disadvantages.

Mesh netting are tension and sectional. Tension option, of course cheaper, and consider it. What we need:

Clear business a grid the chain-link;
Posts for fastening, wooden or metal;
Fixing material and fittings.

The first thing we do is markup and calculate how much material is needed.

Then we decide which pillars we will install. What are the advantages or disadvantages of wooden or metal pillars is clear to everyone. Therefore, if the fence needs to be put up urgently and cheaply, then wooden poles are used. As a material, a bar or even wooden poles is suitable. The mesh has almost no windage, so very thick columns can be omitted. The main thing is that they stand longer, you need to take care of waterproofing, and coat the tree with special mastic. Do not buy the most expensive one, it will not fundamentally solve the problem, wooden poles will still deteriorate, but replacing them is not a problem.

But if you install fence for a long time and thoroughly, of course, metal poles will be needed. If you buy new ones in a store, then it will cost a lot more, so second-hand ones are also suitable, only you need to make sure that they are not rusty, which means money wasted. Metal poles should also be prepared, cleaned, painted, and the lower part, if you install them in the ground, treated with mastic.

Now select the mesh netting. There are two types - galvanized or made of ordinary black mesh. As already mentioned, the choice depends on how long you plan to install the fence. If you need it urgently and for a year or two, then you can take an ordinary net and pull it on wooden posts, it will turn out cheaply and cheerfully. For a permanent fence for a long time you need to buy a galvanized wire mesh and install it on metal supports.

If all the material is ready, you can proceed with the construction of the fence. According to the markup, dig holes for the posts. Of course, it is better to use a drill if you have one, it would save a lot of time. Tamp the bottom of the pit with crushed stone or broken brick, for better precipitation fill them with water. Align the installed posts with a taut cord and tamp tightly. If you are preparing metal poles, then it is better to concrete them.

The mesh fastening begins with the corner post where the edge of the roll is fastened. If the wooden poles use special brackets, if there are none, then you can simply nail with nails. On metal poles, it is best to weld hooks, if there is no welding, you will have to fasten with metal clamps or wire. Hooks, of course, are more reliable, because the mesh should be well stretched. To avoid sagging, between the poles you can stretch a metal cable or thread the fittings and fasten to the poles. For even greater durability, fittings can be skipped along the top and bottom edges.
