Often a fence for summer cottage a temporary one is being erected for the subsequent construction of a more substantial structure. And often there is simply not enough money for a good fence, so we are looking for the best option cheap fence for the dacha.

To make the fence very inexpensive, we will build it with our own hands. Before installing the type of fence you have chosen, be sure to inquire about the technology of its installation and consult with a specialist.

Cheap fence for a summer residence, options

The price of the fence is affected by the size of the structure and the material from which it will be made. Respectively high fence more expensive than low, and solid - more expensive than transparent. A structure that is attached to dug-in or concreted pillars will be cheaper than a fence mounted on a strip foundation.

Wooden picket fence - the most budget option

From such inexpensive material you can make a very beautiful and original fence for your dacha. An example of this is a photo of finished fences.

This is a very popular material for country fence. A picket fence is wood planks with a thickness of 18 to 22 mm and a width of 7 to 14 cm.

The height of a picket fence can be from 1.2 to 4 meters. To fasten this material, horizontal beams-purlins are used, fixed on oak, metal or concrete posts.

The approximate price of a picket fence is 700 rubles/sq.m. Final cost fence largely depends on the chosen installation option. For example, installing a picket fence in a checkerboard or herringbone pattern increases the price of the structure by 15-20%. Strip foundation instead of simply driving posts into the ground, it adds 20-25% to the cost.

Fences made of thin wicker boards and blockhouses are more expensive (from 1000 rubles/sq.m.). A fence made of wicker boards attracts attention original look, and the fence from the blockhouse wins the hearts of summer residents with the quality of the wooden frame.

The "Ranch" fence style came to us from the Wild West. For its construction, wide horizontal boards or beams are used, which are secured to low wooden posts. The disadvantage of such a fence is that it does not protect the area from entry by unauthorized persons and even small animals. It is understandable, since this fence was created for a vast area of ​​pasture. But installing it does not take much time. And in terms of the cost of materials and labor, such a fence is comparable to the price of a picket fence.

Wattle fence for fencing a summer cottage

Fans like this type of fencing made from hazel or willow branches. rustic style. It is original, quite strong and durable. At great desire The technique of weaving branches can be mastered with your own hands in a matter of hours. If you don’t have time to do manual creativity, then you will have to pay from 500 rubles per 1 square meter for the manufacture and installation of a fence.

We advise anyone who is interested in building a cheap fence for their dacha to pay attention to unedged boards. By freeing it from the bark, sanding it and varnishing it, you can get a beautiful fence for your summer cottage at a minimal price (about 550 rubles/sq.m.).

Regarding durability wooden fences... The service life of wood treated in an autoclave increases to 30 years. The service life of an ordinary, painted board does not exceed 15 years.

Fence for a summer residence made of chain-link mesh

The cheapest fence can be built from chain-link mesh. It is released in different options height (1.0-3.0 meters), length 10-18 meters and cell size 20-100 mm. To protect the wire from corrosion, galvanizing and polymer coating are used.

You can install such a fence by rolling out the mesh and fixing it to metal or concrete pillars. The second option is the production of mesh sections, that is, frames from corners or pipes and their installation on poles.

The service life of mesh fencing reaches 30 years. Such fences do not shade the area and at the same time are reliable, as they create a serious barrier for uninvited guests.

The average price of 1 square meter of turnkey chain-link fence is 180-240 rubles.

Fence for a dacha made of Euro picket fence

Popularity of fences from wooden picket fence inspired stamped metal manufacturers to create something similar. The result is a very aesthetic and durable material.

In terms of service life, wood cannot be compared with it. In addition, fencing made from Euro picket fences does not require periodic painting or antiseptic treatment. The protective polymer film used to cover galvanized steel retains its color and integrity for 25-30 years.

Installation of a European picket fence, taking into account the price of materials and labor, starts from 800 rubles per 1 sq.m.

Country fence made of corrugated sheets

Today it is the leader in dacha fencing. This is a solid fence. His affordable price allows any summer resident to use it to fence his plot. Not a single living soul can penetrate such a fence. Installing a corrugated fence is simple and therefore inexpensive. Added to this is a huge selection color range and textured pattern of the profiled sheet.

• Use corrugated sheeting with a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is not much more expensive than 0.4 mm thick flooring, but it will not become dented and will not lose its attractiveness.
• The support spacing should be no more than 2-2.5 meters, ideally 1.5 meters. And if you take the distance between the supports to be 3 m, then under the influence of wind loads, the fence will begin to bend and may lose its original appearance.
• Dig the support pipes to a depth of at least 1.5 meters and be sure to concrete them.
• The fence posts must be made of 60-80 mm pipe, with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm.
• Take double-sided corrugated board, polymer coating, since galvanized flooring (without painting) becomes stained after two years, loses its shine and may begin to corrode.

Slate fence for a summer house

To install such a blind fence, both flat and corrugated asbestos-cement slate are used. The first one is stronger because it is thicker.

Installation flat slate a large format (1.5 x 3 meters) is faster than installation of a smaller wavy one (1.75 x 1.125 m). The slate is placed on steel profile purlins welded or bolted to metal posts.

A slate fence has high strength, as well as heat and frost resistance. It is more durable than wood and is not afraid of corrosion like metal. However, this material has a significant drawback - it is fragile and inconspicuous in appearance. And if nothing can be done about the first disadvantage, then the second can be easily corrected - paint the slate.

Result: the cheapest fence for a dacha is a fence made of chain-link mesh (200 rubles/sq.m.), the second place in price is fences made of welded mesh, wooden picket fence and unedged boards(450-600 rubles/sq.m.), third place in our ranking we give to fences made of corrugated board, slate, blockhouse and edged boards(700-1000 rub./sq.m.).

Fence posts

When building a fence, much attention is paid to the installation of pillars - the supporting part of the fence. And the more securely they are installed, the stronger the fence will be, which means it will last longer.

Installation of fence posts

During construction, 3 methods of installing support pillars are used.

• Direct driving into the ground
• Partial concreting. It is performed in two ways: pouring a concrete collar, or filling the well below the freezing line of the soil.
• Complete concrete pouring of the underground part of the rack, including the installation of a strip foundation

Which method to choose depends on the quality of the soil on the site, its saturation with moisture and the degree of freezing. Also, the choice of installation option is influenced by vertical and lateral loads created by the weight of the structure and its windage. If you decide to install a solid fence, then it must withstand the wind well, the load from which often exceeds the weight of the fence.

Direct driving of pillars into the ground speeds up and reduces the cost of building a fence, but it also has many disadvantages.

• If the soil is soft or loose, then the stand may become loose over time under the influence of the wind, since fences have a large windage (if made of corrugated sheets, polycarbonate, boards).
• If the height of the pillar is planned to be higher than 2 meters, even from a chain-link mesh, then this method of installing pillars will also not work - any strong wind will also rock the structure.
• If your site has clayey, moist soil that swells when negative temperatures, then the supports will come out of the soil by 10 centimeters already in the first winter.

That is, fence posts simply driven into the ground cannot bear a large weight load. This installation is only suitable for low fences with little windage. Or if the site has rocky hard soil.

Concreting a little more complicated and more expensive than the first method of attaching fence supports. Yes, and it will take more time. Only the hardening of the concrete will take 3 weeks. But this method is more reliable, since concrete pillars will last 30-50 years without tilting. Moreover, strengthening concrete mixture Suitable for all types of fences, including heavy ones.

Brick fence posts

A brick support without a reliable connection to the foundation, even despite its considerable weight, will not stand for long. A strong wind load, acting on solid sections of the fence, inevitably leads to the overturning of a post that is not secured in the foundation. In addition, do not forget about seasonal soil movements. Lowering and rising a couple of centimeters up and down throughout the year, the foundation must work in unison with the posts and sections of the fence.

The optimal design of a foundation with brick pillars designed for a fence made of corrugated board is clearly illustrated by the diagram in the photo

You see that the brick columns have a steel rod made of square pipe or reinforcement cage. Embedded plates are welded to it. They are attached to steel purlins under a profiled sheet or picket fence.

Foundation type – strip rubble concrete or concrete. A trench is dug under it, and holes with a diameter of 15-20 cm are drilled in the places where the pillars are installed. First, the concrete is poured into the wells with the pillar racks installed in them. After this, layer-by-layer concreting of the trench begins.

The main parameters of the foundation (depth, width, degree of reinforcement) and the height of the fence are determined by calculating strength and stability.

Us for installation brick pillars These dimensions are used for the fence

• trench depth – 20-30 cm;
• the depth of the well for installing metal racks of brick pillars, counting from the surface of the earth - 90-100 cm;
• height of the grillage (the upper part of the foundation located above the ground surface) – 40-60 cm;
• foundation width – 20-35 cm;
• the distance between the pillars is from 2.5 to 3 meters;
• the height of the pillars is from 150 to 180 cm (masonry cross-section 38x38 cm).

In wet soils, you need to drill holes for posts below the freezing depth so that the forces of frost heaving do not deform the fence.

In weak and unstable soils in the upper part of the foundation, before concreting it, it is advisable to lay reinforcement cage of 4-6 rods with a diameter of 14-18 mm. It will maintain the integrity of the foundation and absorb the loads that arise in the concrete during soil subsidence.

Laying brick pillars begins no earlier than 2-3 weeks after concreting. Having laid waterproofing under the posts, you can begin to work.

Perfectly straight seams guarantee excellent appearance brick columns. To simplify the work, experienced masons use pieces of a square rod, which serves as a seam template.

In the photo there is a support pillar made of brick with a cross section of 38 x 38 cm. Two reinforcing bars are installed inside for reinforcement. The space between them and the masonry is filled with fine-grained concrete or mortar.

For fences with a height of two meters or more, the cross-sectional size of the post is increased to 51 x 63 cm or 64 x 77 cm. The dimensions of the reinforcing frame increase accordingly.

Metal fence posts

Steel supports are well suited for fences made of corrugated board, wood, plastic, metal mesh, welded and forged fences. These are one of the most affordable and durable solutions when installing any fence.

There are iron pillars different types: made of round and profile pipes, screw. They also differ in height, metal thickness and diameter. You can make such fence supports from new materials, as well as from used ones.

Pole diameter from ordinary pipe usually 57, 76, 89 mm. The wall thickness can be any, but the thicker, the longer term its operation.

For difficult soils, screw metal piles are used. On the lower part they have a cutting blade, which allows you to insert the pipe into the soil quickly, without the use of complex equipment. With the help of this blade the pipe is held firmly in the ground.

Distance between fence posts

When selecting metal poles, take into account our experience:

• for a fence height of 2-2.5 meters, take the cross-section profile pipe 60 x 40 mm, products measuring 40 x 40 mm are suitable for 1.5 fences,
• optimal diameter round pipe— 57 mm,
• take the maximum size of channel corners installed individually to be 90 and 160 mm, respectively,
• the interval between pillars should be within 2-3 meters. A smaller distance is impractical from an economic point of view, but a larger distance sharply reduces the reliability of the structure.

Our calculation of the column spacing for a plot length of 13.4 meters and a fence height of 1.5 meters

• Divide this distance into 4 sections, you get a length of 3.23 meters. With this spacing, the fence can be built from brick or chain-link mesh on metal posts. It is not advisable to install corrugated sheets or other solid material, as the racks will be loosened by the wind.
• If divided into 5 sections, you get a pitch of 2.56 meters. This spacing is suitable for most designs.
• Dividing it into 6 spans will give a distance between pillars of 2.12 meters. The result will be a reliable structure, but the price of the fence will increase. Although in this case you can save money if you take pillars with a smaller cross-section.

The optimal distance between the posts of a solid fence 2 meters high is 2.5 meters. This perfect option in terms of price/quality ratio, when we're talking about about popular fencing made of corrugated sheets on metal supports.

Complex but cheap fence

Building your own home has always been quite an expensive undertaking. That is why it arose a large number of anecdotes about how spouses are finishing their house. The most money is usually spent on capital construction, so many people prefer to save on finishing and improving the site. This is why many choose inexpensive fence at the first stage, which can perform its direct functions and will not cost fabulous money. The easiest way to save money is to make your own fencing. With today's abundance of materials on the market, this will not be a particular problem.

Why should there be a fence on the site?

The opinion that your plot can stand for a year or two without a fence is wrong. performs not only a decorative function, but also hides what is happening on the site from prying eyes, and also protects the area around the house from thieves and ill-wishers. Once the fence is installed, you won't have to bring chairs or hoses into the house every night to prevent them from being stolen.

There are several requirements for fences. Such a design should be moderately strong and reliable - to a large extent this depends on the quality of installation of the pillars and the attachment of the main finishing material to them. In addition, the issue of aesthetics of the fence is important - you are unlikely to want to see on your site a gray self-leveling concrete fence, which was used to fence industrial enterprises. When self-installation It is worth considering the ease of installation of the fence, since without certain technical skills it will not be possible to assemble complex structures.

What material should I use to build the fence?

You can make a cheap fence with your own hands using the following materials: wood, corrugated sheets, PVC profiles and chain-link mesh. If we take the cost of the structure as the main criterion, then we should focus on the last option. However, all other materials ensure secrecy of what is happening on local area, but the chain-link mesh serves more quickly decorative fencing– through it you can calmly monitor what is happening on the other side of the fence.

First you need to decide which of these materials will be used during construction, and only then consider technological nuances erection of fencing. An estimate for the fence is prepared after selecting materials, calculating the required number of posts, partitions, fastening materials and everything else that will be required during construction.

Wooden fence: ease of processing and structural strength

Example of a wooden fence

Stores today offer a huge selection of wood for building fences. This material has competitive advantages over others, which is why it is the most popular on the market. Among these advantages:

• low final cost, since such fences in most cases are made entirely of wood;
• the ability to choose any color and shade due to the use of conventional paints for final finishing;
• possibility of creating as small decorative designs, and high and impenetrable fences.

Wood also has obvious shortcomings, because of which many choose fences made of corrugated sheets or PVC sheets. Due to the characteristics of the material, which begins to dry out when exposed to sunlight and become wet when exposed to moisture (this problem is relevant even for painted fences, since the paint begins to flake off over time), the service life of such a fence will greatly depend on its care. It is recommended to repaint wooden fences every couple of years to maximize their lifespan.

What is needed to build a wooden fence?

In order to build a cheap wooden fence with your own hands, you will need finishing material(fence various sizes), transverse partitions and support pillars(to save money, many people use wooden structures, which must be carefully treated before immersion in the ground with an anti-rotting agent), marking pegs, tension ropes. Depending on the method of installing the pillars, you will need cement and sand (if the pillar is filled with concrete, this option will be the strongest and most reliable) or ordinary stones (the hole under the pillar is filled with large cobblestones that reliably hold the pillar in one position).

To prepare holes for installing poles, you will need a drill and a shovel. The easiest way to fasten cross boards to posts is with screws; they can also be used to screw a picket fence. More economical option- nails, but they hold the boards worse (they can become loose over time), and if it is necessary to replace part of the fence, they create a lot of problems.

Wood fence construction process

Because in the question “Which fence will be the cheapest?” Wood as a material is confidently in the lead, then we will consider the issue of construction in more detail. They begin to build such fences by marking the area and determining the location of the entrance gate and gate. To do this, you will need pegs and tension ropes, which we wrote about above. Accurate marking is the key to stability future design.

Afterwards, a hole is prepared under each peg for support pillars. Its depth and dimensions will depend on the method of installing these pillars, but a separate article can be written about this. In most cases, it is recommended to bury the post 25% of its length in the ground. To ensure that the structure is reliable and the pillars do not move, you need to immediately install spacers, and only then fill the hole with concrete or fill it with stones. When the composition has hardened (ideally, this requires a day - during this time the concrete will set and the post can no longer be loosened), transverse boards are installed, on which the picket fence is vertically fixed.

The last stage of construction is impregnation of the fence with special mixtures that give it moisture resistance and painting.

Chain-link fence: simple and durable

It is the cheapest option for a fence, which can be installed even cheaper and faster than a wooden one. Such a fence will be completely resistant to the “delights” of the weather, moderately strong and reliable (meaning its stability after several years of operation), and also extremely easy to install.

To build such a fence, you will need the same support posts (usually metal), cement and sand for pouring them, a shovel and auger for preparing holes, a mesh of the required length and fasteners for its installation (wooden slings or a metal corner), twine and stakes for marking . It is recommended to opt for galvanized mesh, which costs a little more than the most common one, but does not require painting and is not afraid of corrosion. There is also a more expensive option - a mesh with vinyl covering, completely protecting the metal from moisture.

At the initial stage, everything is done in exactly the same way as for a wooden fence: posts are marked, holes are made, posts are installed and filled with concrete or covered with stones. Then fasteners for the mesh are mounted between the posts: these can be steel angles, boards or a rigid cable. Only after this the mesh is attached on one side to the first pillar and stretched around the remaining pillars. It is extremely important to avoid sagging of the mesh at this stage. There is another option - a sectional fence. In this case, the mesh is cut into pieces, which are fastened between adjacent two pillars using metal corners(in a kind of frame). This is simpler and more reliable, but it also costs homeowners more.

Corrugated sheeting: more reliable and faster than wood

Corrugated fence

They have gained enormous popularity in the 21st century. Today in the markets and construction stores You can find dozens of varieties of this material. This is why corrugated sheeting is in demand: prices for the cheapest types make it a direct competitor to wood, but the most expensive varieties can easily replace full-fledged brick fences.

The set of things necessary for installation here is exactly the same as in the case of a chain-link mesh. You will need poles, a drill, a shovel and cement mortar, jumpers (logs made of wood or metal) on which the corrugated sheet will be attached, screws for fastening and the corrugated sheet itself. The construction mechanism is exactly the same up to the stage. Afterwards, it is recommended to paint all metal elements to protect them from corrosion.

Plastic fence - a compromise between corrugated sheeting and chain-link mesh

Many consider such fences as a compromise between a cheap and “transparent” chain-link mesh and a more expensive and reliable corrugated sheet. A polycarbonate fence is also considered a budget solution, although it is the most expensive economical fences. Such structures have several advantages: they do not darken the area, since they partially transmit light, they are no more difficult to install than fences made from corrugated sheets, and they look simply wonderful. The only drawback of this design is the plastic itself, which can easily burst with a slight blow or accidentally hit by a rake, for example.

Set of tools and Supplies, and the installation procedure here is exactly the same as for a fence made of corrugated sheets. The only difference is in the number of lags, which will directly depend on the width of the plastic sheet used in construction. Usually at least three of them are required: two are attached at the top and bottom of the fence, one in the middle. If narrow polycarbonate is used to build a fence, then it may be necessary to install a fourth log - such a fence will look especially beautiful, since it will be divided into 3 blocks in height.

Summing up

Progress does not stand still, and if previously you had to choose a cheap fence option only between a wooden one and a chain-link fence, today such wonderful materials as corrugated sheeting and polycarbonate have appeared. They are easier to install than a wooden fence, and because large sizes fragments of such a fence, the entire procedure takes much less time.

A dacha is, first of all, your own land. A standard six-acre dacha plot makes it possible to realize dreams of own home. And, like any property, it is fenced off and separated from the rest of the space.

Most country houses are houses for seasonal residence, therefore, the construction of a permanent fence is not advisable.

Saving money is the main issue that occupies the developer’s mind when solving any dacha issue. And the construction of a fence for garden house- not an exception.

But any private owner wants his fencing to be not only cheap, but also beautiful and reliable. Will an inexpensive garden fence be able to meet these expectations?

Which fence is cheaper?

The cost of the fence is affected by the choice of its size and design.

A tall fence will naturally be more expensive than a low one, and a solid fence will be more expensive than a transparent one.

A fence that is attached to dug-in or concreted posts will be cheaper than a fence mounted on a strip foundation.

Having decided on the design, we move on to choosing the material from which to build the fence.

Options for inexpensive fencing for a summer residence

Wooden fence

Building an inexpensive wooden fence is a smart option. It is inexpensive, beautiful and easy to install. There are several varieties of such fences.

• Picket fence, board (edged and unedged).
• Ranch fence.
• Wattle (intertwined rods).

The most popular material for a country fence is picket fence. It consists of wooden planks with a thickness of 18 to 22 mm and a width of 7 to 14 cm. The height of such a fence can be chosen in the range from 1.2 to 4 meters. To fasten the picket fence, horizontal beams-purlins are used, fixed on wooden (oak), metal or concrete posts.

Anyone who believes that it is impossible to make a fence out of a picket fence is mistaken. beautiful fence. Examples original designs There is a lot of this material.

A picket fence fixed at an angle forms an openwork fence

Estimated cost picket fences - 700 rub./m2. The final price of the fence depends on the chosen installation option. Installing a picket fence in a checkerboard or herringbone pattern increases the price of the structure by 15-20%. A strip foundation, instead of simply driving columns into the ground, adds 20-25% to the cost.

Fences made of thin wicker boards and blockhouses are more expensive (from 1000 rubles/m2). A fence made of wicker boards attracts attention with its original appearance, and a fence made from a blockhouse wins the hearts of summer residents with the quality of its wooden frame.

Wicker fence

Wooden blockhouse fencing

A fence called the Ranch came to us from the Wild West. His main feature– the use of wide horizontal boards or beams mounted on low wooden posts.

Ranch fence - cows won't get through, kids will climb over

The obvious disadvantage of such a fence is the weak protection of the site from entry by unauthorized persons. It is understandable, since this fence was created for a vast area of ​​pasture. In terms of the cost of materials and labor, a Ranch fence is comparable to the price of a picket fence.

Fans of rustic style will certainly be interested in wattle fence - a fence assembled from hazel or willow branches. It is original, quite strong and durable. If you really want to, you can master the technique of weaving branches with your own hands in a matter of hours. If you don’t have time to do manual creativity, then you will have to pay from 500 rubles per 1m2 for the manufacture and installation of a fence.

We advise anyone who is planning to build an inexpensive fence for their dacha to pay attention to unedged boards. By freeing it from the bark, sanding it and opening it with varnish, you will get a beautiful fence for your summer cottage at a minimal price (450-550 rubles/m2).

The overlapping of unedged boards makes the fence very durable

Regarding the durability of wooden fences, the following must be said: the service life of autoclaved wood increases to 30 years. The service life of an ordinary, painted board does not exceed 15 years.

Metal fences

Metal has always been more expensive than wood, but here, too, summer residents can find acceptable options for themselves:

• Rabitz.
• Corrugated (woven) mesh.
• Welded rolled and flat welded mesh (3D).
• Euro picket fence.
• Profiled sheeting.

Chainlink mesh – guest from Australia

The cheapest fence can be built from chain-link mesh. It is available in different heights (1.0-3.0 meters), lengths (10-18 meters) and cell sizes (20-100 mm). To protect the wire from corrosion, galvanizing and polymer coating are used.

You can install such a fence by rolling out the mesh and fixing it to metal or concrete pillars. The second option is the production of mesh sections (frames from angles or pipes) and their installation on poles.

The durability of mesh fencing reaches 30 years. They do not shade the area and create a serious barrier for uninvited guests. The average cost of 1 m2 of turnkey chain-link fence is 160-240 rubles/m2.

Corrugated mesh

It is not designed for fences, but for sifting crushed stone and gravel (screens). Steel corrugated mesh is made from bent wires using the perpendicular weave method. The main advantage of this material over chain-link is its higher rigidity.

Corrugated (caned) mesh does not come in rolls, but in flat sections measuring 1.75 x 4.5 meters. By fixing it on the pillars, we will get a high and strong fencing. In terms of price, it is significantly more expensive than chain-link (400 rubles versus 80 per 1 m2). Saving on posts (the width of the section is 4.5 meters versus 2.5 m for the chain-link mesh) does not help the situation.

Welded mesh

Discussions about which fence is cheaper drew our attention to the roll fence welded mesh. The estimated cost of a turnkey fence made of this material in 2016 is 400 rubles per 1 m2.

Welded mesh 3D

Steel wire mesh (3D) in last years very popular among summer residents. Anyone who does not like chain-link fences can order a fence made from this material.

The unusual name 3D can be explained in two ways. First of all, it tells us that this mesh is not flat, but formed by bent wire with a diameter of 3.5 to 5 mm. The second reason is a marketing move that fixes the material in the buyer’s mind thanks to the general passion for spatial technologies.

Welded 3D mesh is produced in sections with a height of 0.33 to 3.33 meters and a length of 1.5 to 3 meters. The cost of its turnkey installation is from 500 rubles/m2.

Euro picket fence

The habit of adding the prefix “euro” to the name of the material worked this time too. In essence, it does not explain anything, but it sounds modern and beautiful. The popularity of wooden picket fences prompted stamped metal manufacturers to create something similar. The result is a very aesthetic and durable material.

In terms of service life, wood cannot be compared with it. In addition, a fence made of Euro picket fence does not require periodic painting and antiseptic treatment. The protective polymer film used to cover galvanized steel retains its color and integrity for 25-30 years.

Installation of a European picket fence, taking into account the cost of materials and labor, starts from 800 rubles per 1 m2.

Using a European picket fence different color and its non-standard installation make the fence attractive

Corrugated sheet

The undisputed leader in dacha fence construction. The reasons for its popularity are simple installation and durability. To this we can add a huge selection of colors and textured patterns of corrugated sheets.

Fence made of corrugated board with imitation wood. Looks great, lasts a very long time

Considering the high demand for fencing made of corrugated sheets, we will give several recommendations for the selection and installation of this material:

• It is advisable to use corrugated sheeting with a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is not much more expensive than 0.4 mm thick flooring, but it will not become covered with dents and will not lose its attractiveness.
• If we take the distance between the supports to be 3 m, then under the influence of wind loads, the fence will begin to bend and may lose its original appearance. Therefore, the support spacing should be no more than 2-2.5 m, ideally 1.5 m.
• The support pipes must be dug to a depth of at least 1.5 m, and they must be concreted.
• The fence post must be made of a 60-80 mm pipe, with a wall thickness of at least 2 mm.
• It is necessary to take corrugated sheeting with a double-sided polymer coating, since galvanized decking (without painting) becomes stained after two years, loses its shine and may begin to corrode.

The cost of a fence made of corrugated sheets without taking into account the work is lower than the price of a fence made of Euro picket fence and is approximately 650-900 rubles per 1 m2.

Plastic

When thinking about what is cheaper to make a fence from, do not lose sight of such popular material as cellular polycarbonate. It is durable and beautiful, and framed from steel profile creates a fairly strong enclosing structure.

Cellular polycarbonate fence

There are two options for installing polycarbonate: on steel logs (purlins) or in profile sections. The first method is cheaper. Its price starts from 1000 rubles/m2. Installation in sections is more expensive (from RUB 1,500/m2), but allows for a more durable structure.

Slate

To install the fence, you can use either flat or corrugated asbestos-cement slate. The first one is stronger because it is thicker.

Installation of large-format flat slate (1.5x3 meters) is faster than installation of smaller wavy slate (1.75x1.125 m). The slate is placed on steel profile purlins welded or bolted to metal posts.

Slate fencing is characterized by high strength, resistance to frost and heat. It is more durable than wood and is not afraid of corrosion like metal. A significant disadvantage of slate is its fragility. Another disadvantage of a slate fence is that it is nondescript. gray look. It can be easily corrected by painting with special paint.

The average cost of slate fences (including labor) is 800 rubles/m2.

conclusions

The first place in terms of availability is occupied by fences made of chain-link mesh (200 rubles/m2).

The third position can be awarded to fences made of corrugated sheets, slate, blockhouse and edged boards (700-1000 rubles/m2).

Fence installation

In order for the fence to be very inexpensive, you need to build it yourself. The main points to pay attention to during installation:

• The load-bearing structure of the fence is made in accordance with the weight of the fence leaf.
• The basis load-bearing structure- must be reliably deepened and fixed in the ground.
• Depending on the filling of the fence, the pitch of the supports is determined.
• Before installing the type of fence you have chosen, be sure to inquire about the technology of its installation and consult with a specialist.

The fence is installed, let’s sum it up: if you wish, you can always choose such a fence garden plot, which will be beautiful, reliable, and relatively cheap.
