Why install screw fence piles

Simply put, for some fences with a very heavy structure, a correspondingly very strong foundation is needed. But depending on the soil or for other reasons, there may be difficulties with its construction. Then they use screw piles, which can fully replace the foundation.

The advantages of this method are obvious. Screw intake piles are suitable for the most difficult soils. Even in areas where groundwater is high, marshy areas, peatlands, loams - everywhere you can use this type of piles. The only thing is that rocky areas are poorly suited where there is a chance of chipping and rock collapse.

Screw piles can be installed on any territory, on uneven terrain and slopes, and also regardless of the time of year, they will stand firmly even in frozen ground. It is also very convenient to use them for temporary fences, since piles can be removed and reused if necessary.

In addition, the term for exploring screw piles is designed for 70 years, so that the costs in any case pay off.
Before planning the installation of piles, it is necessary to determine the quality of the soil, as well as the available screwing depth. This is necessary to avoid bulging if you are installing piles in frozen ground. To do this, make a trial screwing.
Piling is best done mechanically using special equipment. Although, if you have experience, work can be done manually. The pile is screwed until it stops until it “hooks” the solid soil. If necessary, they can be increased to the desired height.

After installation, the pile is cut to the required size and compacted with mortar. This will improve its bearing capacity and secure in the desired position. Then you can mount the fence.
