As strange as it may sound, but nowadays it is very difficult to find a construction team that will quickly and efficiently do this or that work, and sometimes it is simply unrealistic. A young family faced a similar problem, deciding to fence off the plot on which the house was built. After the searches were unsuccessful, they had to start work on their own, and the lion's share of the work fell on the shoulders of the fragile wife, who coped with her with a bang.
It would seem, what difficulties can be in the construction of a fence, if funds are available. But in practice, this is a huge problem that is not always possible to solve in a short time, because it is not easy to find a team of competent builders who are ready to start work on a call. One young family was convinced of this, which, after settling in a new house, decided to improve the plot and put up a fence. They had to spend several months looking for and making arrangements, but first one team did not show up for work, and then the second. This made the couple consider starting to make the fence themselves. They abandoned the idea of installing a traditional fence made of a professional sheet, because they wanted to create something special and beautiful.
Digging around on the Internet, they found options for creating original fences using gabions and stones. It was this idea that they began to implement.
Reference: Gabions are a structure consisting of galvanized metal mesh with large cells, which is assembled into boxes or cylinders. They are filled with large stones, wood cuts, decorative glass, or a combination of different materials. If in the old days such structures were used to strengthen combat positions, now they are in demand in strengthening the banks, roadsides and in landscape design.
Such options are good because they do not require special professional skills, the acquisition of special tools, as well as the creation of a foundation and the ability to work with a welding machine. To install gabions, it is enough to have a shovel to remove the top layer of earth with turf and tamp the area where the fence is planned to be installed. You will also need to bury and concrete the support pillars, which should support the large-scale structure. This is exactly the work that the spouse took up. After the concrete solution has solidified, it was already possible to start forming the fence, but the weekend has property to end very quickly, so the fixing of the boxes and their filling was done by... the hostess at home.

It is difficult even to imagine how a fragile woman had to be lifted to a rather impressive height. heavy stones, and even create a pattern that requires a certain skill and additional devices. But be that as it may, in a couple of months she coped with this task and now can be proud of her achievements, after all, none of the neighbors has such a fence, now it stands out as a bright spot against the background of fences from the standard professional sheet.

According to the authors of Novate.ru, during the search for another team engaged in the creation of objects from gabions, the spouses were announced the cost of the work - 10 thousand. rub. for 1 m², which was an unacceptable price for them. And it took 3.7 thousand people to erect the fence on their own. rub. for 1 m². The only thing I would like to hope is that such savings will not affect the health of the young mother, who alone had to do hard physical work.
Those who are now thinking about how to fence their site should pay attention to the fact as a mother of many children did it. This option is more budgetary and less laborious, and the result will also be overwhelming.
