Concrete sectional fence is becoming more and more common as a fence for country houses due to durability, quality and reliability. At the same time, today's assortment has expanded significantly and allows each buyer to find what he needs.
Views
The existence of many varieties makes it possible to combine a fence with a house of any architectural orientation. Among them, it is worth highlighting the following:
- Double-sided and single-sided designs with embossed pattern, the position of which does not affect the installation.
- Deaf elements or with gaps of various types.
- Matte or glossy surface can be smooth and similar to natural materials.
It is worth noting that the price for a one-sided concrete sectional fence is slightly lower than for a two-sided one, which is due to the complexity of execution. The same applies to designs with additional decor and imitation of various materials.
Installation
Fences of this type are distinguished by a fairly simple installation, which everyone can do. You don’t have to look for a specialized tool and call craftsmen or a construction team, but still extra hands will be very useful.
To begin with, marking is made at the intended location of the structure. The wicket space acts as a starting point. The location of the supporting elements is marked with stakes, the distance between which should be about two meters.
Setting up poles requires digging holes for each one. A drainage layer in the form of chipped bricks or small gravel is poured into the holes obtained. Then the pillars are mounted and leveled, followed by pouring with concrete mortar. The mass should completely harden, which may take several days, after which you can proceed to further work. The installation is completed by fixing the panels in the grooves. If necessary, a layer of paint is applied to the sectional concrete fence.
All actions are quite simple, despite the fact that the correct setting of the supports and the setting of the mortar requires some time and utmost accuracy. With the right tools, such as a concrete mixer, and the right skills, fence slabs can be made by yourself.
Dignity
Sections are produced by casting technique, the basis is a reinforced concrete structure, due to which high strength properties are formed. There are many other positives:
- You can create both a solid sectional concrete fence and with gaps, for example, from lattice elements mounted in the upper or lower part.
- Long service life achieved by high quality workmanship.
- The base of reinforced concrete is not afraid of high temperatures, respectively, this type of fence belongs to the category of fireproof.
- No complex maintenance.
- The material is not subject to corrosive changes and mold formation.
- Extensive range of shades and textures.
- Quick and easy installation.
- Sectional concrete fences do not require the formation of a foundation for the fence.
How to choose
Before choosing a constructive solution, you should decide on the main purpose, it can be an addition to the overall design, the formation of a ventilated fence or the creation of maximum security for the object.
Concrete composite fences are selected depending on the main tasks, while the texture, color and characteristics of the top layer should be taken into account. A fairly common solution is to purchase products with a ready-made appearance that does not require additions and is suitable for the surrounding landscape.
Concrete is characterized by a light distribution of the coloring composition, therefore, in the presence of paint, you should pay attention to products that do not have a finish coating. Ventilated options are best suited for installation near a body of water, as they prevent the formation of a greenhouse effect.
Concrete sectional fence: features
There is no need to use fasteners during installation and specialized tools to combine elements, since their assembly is similar to the designer and is carried out using a special chute located in the supporting pillars.
The panels have a fairly large mass, but at the same time they are the lightest among other fences made of a similar material. A sectional concrete fence, the average price of which for one section is 8,000 rubles, is in the same category as metal quality options.
Sizes
The mass of individual elements is affected by the number of holes, dimensions and density of the base. On average, it is 50-80 kg, which makes it possible to install by several people, without the use of special equipment, which is necessary for concrete monolithic slabs with a base and a separate location.
A sectional concrete fence, the dimensions of which are, as a rule, 2000 x 50 x 500 mm, due to the use of the vibrocasting method, does not have bubbles in its structure that adversely affect the quality of the material. The parameters of the future fence are formed on the basis of overall values.
The variety of molds used in production makes a huge range of patterns possible.
Elements can be painted in two ways: after installation on the selected area or during the connection of the elements, after the finalfoundation.
