On the one hand, the fence closes the site from the penetration of strangers, street animals and attackers. And on the other, they are aesthetic hedge, harmoniously combined with the landscape composition. On how to make a fence from the boards, it will be discussed in this article.

Varieties of wooden fences

1. Chess fence from the terrace board. In such a design, the processed boards are fixed on 1/3 to the strains in a chess order, regardless of the type of laying - vertical or horizontal.
2. A solid fence is the most common type of fence for which the material with a humidity of more than 14% will be required. When building boards, it is fixed closely so that no gaps and a lumen remain.
3. The ladder is a design in which the boards are mounted on top of each other, adhering to a horizontal orientation at a small angle.
4. Frequis - stakes, pumped deep into the soil.
5. Stakenatnik - a fence, when installing which a special board is fixed in a vertical position, leaving gaps between wooden planks.
6. Rancho - type of fence, which consists of low pillars to which rails are attached (bars). Such a fence is decorative.

Advantages and disadvantages

Building a wooden fence remained relevant at all times. The owners of country sites and country cottages often prefer exactly such a type of fence, as it has such indisputable advantages as:

1. Ecology. The fence from the Unedte Board is completely performed from a natural material that has a characteristic structure, color and even the smell.
2. Available cost. Wooden fences cost the owners of the plots are much cheaper than metal or reinforced concrete.
3. High aesthetic qualities. The fence can be done perfectly in any style, choosing a suitable breed of wood with a unique texture.
4. Easy constructions. To build a fence from the board with their own hands, even a beginner master can be able, because The process will not require special skills, knowledge and attracting any technique.
5. Design variability. There is a great many ideas for designing a wooden fence, as well as the methods of its construction, which will allow you to choose the most suitable design for the overall design of the garden landscape.

From the disadvantages of this type of fencing, you can only distinguish a short service life, because Wooden fence will flash on average for 7-10 years. However, these indicators are relative because they depend on the individual characteristics of the soil and climate of the specific territory. Weather conditions, injuries from insects, humidity, intensity of solar radiation - all these factors negatively affect the state of wood. But in any case, the option of care of the fence from a natural material, which will be discussed below.

Choosing wood

Before proceeding with the construction of the structure, it is necessary to determine how much the board on the fence and what type of material it is worth choosing. Experts recommend to give preference to such raw materials like:

• planed board (universal for all types of fences);
• decorative material (artificially aged);
• terraceboard for fence;
• unedged material.

The best operational characteristics are observed in such wood breeds as:

• oak;
• pine;
• larch;
• cedar;
• alder;
• ash;
• aspen.

How to build a fence from boards: construction method

Undoubtedly, a wooden fence is the most popular grid design due to its value and ease of construction. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the durability of the hedge exploitation depends largely not only from the care, but also from its exhibition. Consider more detailed each stage of installation of a wooden fence of the stakenist.

Construction support

1. The initial task in the construction of the fence is the installation of durable carrier pillars. The material for their manufacture can act wood, metal or concrete. In this example, we will consider the installation of supports from a square metal profile, the length of which was 6 m, width - 6 cm.
2. To begin with, the profile must be cut into separate fragments with dimensions of 200x40 cm. An ordinary Bulgarian is suitable for this purpose.
3. Then, with the help of the welding machine, it is necessary to attach metal covers from above to prevent the inwards of atmospheric precipitation. For greater reliability it is worth covering poles of paint.
4. Part of the support that will be in the soil must be treated with bitumen mastic to increase the service life.
5. Next, we stretch the lace in the area, where the location of the support pillars is planned. Fix the lace.
6. With the help of a garden drill, we do the groove in the ground. A screw diameter should be at least 13 cm, and the depth of the hole is 90 cm. To simplify the task and acceleration of the drilling process, it is necessary to attach a white tension on the auger, which will determine the desired depth indicator. Due to this, the need to measure each cavity is disappeared separately.
7. Then you need to cut off the rubberoid fragment, roll it up and omit into the resulting pit. This will ensure waterproofing properties for metal parts of the fence and extend their service life.
8. After that, align the supports vertically, we fall asleep with gravel or crushed stone and we will be tamped by tremendous scrap or vibrating tip, if there is any available.
9. So that the pillars for the collection from the cutting board were at one height of 150 cm above the ground, it is necessary to use the hydroelectric background - a special device in the form of two flasks with water interconnected by a hose. The principle of operation is as follows: one flask is fixed on the first support, and another container is led by the second post. Raising or lowering the metal rod in the pit, levels the water level in both flasks. This makes it possible to establish all the supports at the same altitude.
10. Further fix and fall asleep all the metal poles around the perimeter of the future fence.
11. The next step is to install alive, which will be attached to the boards. To do this, you can use both wooden bars and metal profiles treated and painted from atmospheric precipitation. The latter are more reliable and durable.
12. Fix the profile size 2 cm x 4 cm to the supports through bolts with nuts. To do this, drill holes, insert a bolt and tighten the maximum with a nut.
13. For even attachment, it is important to check the level of horizontal lag.
14. On this support under the wooden fence is ready and you can start the installation of boards.

Fastening board

For fences, we will prepare the sizes with a size of 600x10x2 cm. The brinks must be treated with a reference, and the boards are cut so that height fragments are 180 cm. To save paint, all roughness and irregularities are desirable to be treated with a grinding machine or a grinder. Next steps are made in such a sequence:

1. We apply a special antiseptic impregnation on each board, which will protect the material from rotting, damage insects and the appearance of fungus. To do this, you can apply a conventional painting brush.
2. After complete drying, it is necessary to paint the temples with moisture-resistant paint or composition on an oil basis. When the layer is finally driving, you can start the installation of a bag on the frame.
3. To fix the boards on the lags, you will need self-drill with a drill at the end, the length of which will be 41 mm. For one board, you will need 2 screws. The work is performed by means of a screwdriver.
4. If the holes are done with great difficulty, it is necessary to pre-make grooves with a drill, and then wrap the screw.
5. Fresh wooden boards to the alms at a distance of 5-8 cm. Height and location are tested by hydroeer. Perform the process along the entire length of the fence.
6. At the end, it is necessary to prepare a kapron thread, which should be consolidated by a stary stapler on the last fence board.
7. At its height, align all the boards of the hedge. On this process of the fence constructions is over.

Optionally, you can decorate the fence by putting bright pots with flowers around the perimeter, either country-style elements (wheel from carts, ropes, shop, etc.).

Wooden fence care

In order for the braided fence from the boards, over a decade, it is necessary to take care of it. The recommendations of specialists are reduced to such aspects:

1. In obligatory boards, it is necessary to cover with an antiseptic composition or antipyarem, after which the usual paint, varnish or veil is applied. Such solutions guarantee protection from harmful microorganisms, atmospheric precipitation, rotting, etc. unwanted phenomena.
2. You can also handle the fence of flame retardant impregnation, which creates a protective barrier against wood fire.
3. It is advisable to use galvanized fasteners, which should also be immersed in the olive before fastening.
4. If on the boards still detected affected areas, they must be cut carefully. The edges after removal should be treated to the wood to strengthen wood. After the final drying of the processed fragment, it must be sharpened by a special composition for a natural tree, which is based on fiberglass.
5. The impregnation of protective compositions is carried out every 2 years.
