Interesting: in the United States, the concept of "lawn fences" practically does not exist. Only Russian people can order reliable protection of their lawns, mercilessly trampled, and Western people are all civilized, no one will even think of setting foot on the lawn.
Americans mow their own lawns every day, and lawn fences are purely decorative, made of wood, elegant and painted white.
That's why fences are low fences. Made in the form of an openwork forged lattice, they serve only as a warning, and certainly not as protection.
Lawn and garden fences can be made from the following materials:
- Iron.
- Cast-iron alloys.
- Tree.
- Rarely plastic and polymers.
- Brickwork.
Most often, the term "lawn fences" means forged gratings. There are special blacksmith shops that make decorative fences for everyone.client individually - it became possible to forge your own monogram, a whole fairy tale in pictures, intricate curls of a magical garden, and so on. You can use decorative gilding or artificial aging of the metal - a greenish "plaque".
What are the standards for lawn fencing?
In general, there are no restrictions on the height of lawn fences, but 70 cm high gratings are considered the city standard. In conditions of adjoining carriageways, a height of up to 1 meter is allowed.
The choice of the width between the bars depends on the function that the fences will perform: it is better to make narrow gaps near roads where playgrounds adjoin, protecting young children from the danger of entering the roadway. It is also recommended to make frequent lattices to protect against the entry of animals.
The following lawn fences can be distinguished: welded and forged. The former are a combination of finished sections by welding, they are available to everyone and are more often used for municipal purposes. Forged gratings are made individually, to order, and are installed by driving supports with plates into the ground.
What is the timing of the installation of lawn fences? It directly depends on the size of the site and the complexity of the order. For example, country fences can be ordered and installed within one or two days, and the production of a unique design order will take from a week to two months.
Among the popular forging patterns are willow weaving, royal lilies,English garden trellis. More often, standard intersections of straight lines (vertical palisade, diamond-shaped weaving, horizontal bars or lattice) are chosen, thereby simplifying the work and reducing the cost of the finished structure. After all, lawn fences are primarily a functional protection of a green lawn, and only then - a decoration of a summer cottage. If desired, you can always paint the fences in the original shade - bronze or silver, thereby highlighting their uniqueness.
