A suburban area without a fence looks somehow inferior. This omission is easy to correct, especially since there are enough materials to complete this task today.
The most popular in our time is corrugated board, since the wood that was used everywhere before quickly rots, and stone fences can be equal in cost to a country house.
Profiled sheet is cheap, easy enough to install, the main thing is to take a product no thinner than 0.45 mm. A fence with a height of two meta must have at least three guides, for which a profile pipe 40 by 20 mm is used.
What is the main mistake when installing a fence from a profiled sheet
It is clear that fences in suburban areas are installed in the summer. This is a hot time and many builders, trying to quickly finish this work and go on vacation, do not attach much importance to the place where it is necessary to drill holes for the guides.
If you look at the corrugated fences in our garden cooperative, you will notice that 50% of them do not have a gap between the ground and the fence from below. And it is very important that the edge of the corrugated board rises above the ground up to 5-10 cm. By the way, the bottom edge should be smooth, and the top edge should be rough.
For daylight saving time, it doesn't actually matter if there is a gap or not. But for winter, or rather for spring time, this is very important. If from the side of the street the snow, as a rule, is scraped off to asphalt, then on the other side of the fence it accumulates during the winter up to a meter level. As the weather warms up, the snow melts.
Moreover, at first it melts during the day, and at night it freezes again. Water, soaking snow, makes it heavy. He begins to put pressure on the fence and pushes the profiled sheet out. As a result, the owner sees a very sad picture in the spring.
The previously left gap prevents a sad result, profiled sheets do not bend. In addition, air enters the area through the gap, which is very useful for plants.
