Installation of a fence from a universal mesh gitter
In the past few years, fencing for various areas in the form of a gitter mesh, related to fences of the 3D type, has gained significant popularity. Structurally, such a mesh consists of separate fragments or panels of wire joining by welding, the diameter of which ranges from 3 to 5 mm. This wire is coated with zinc to protect it from corrosion. Today we will talk about the features of gitter mesh fences.
Technical parameters and equipment
There are varieties of 3D fences, in which, in addition to galvanizing the bar, it is protected by layers of nanoceramic and PVC. The sections of such fences are welded structures with a wave-like bend of the bar in the form of a Latin letter V in the horizontal plane, which significantly increases the strength characteristics and fracture resistance.
Each fragment of such a fence is equipped with stiffening ribs, which allows the structure to retain its original shape for a long time.
Sectional 3D fences are supplied by the manufacturers in kits, fully prepared for installation and assembly, and consisting of mesh sections, each of which is 2.5 meters in length. These sections are equipped with several stiffeners in the form of zinc-coated steel rods and placed in a horizontal plane. The height of these fragments is in the range of 1.5-2.5 meters in the standard version, but may vary at the request of the consumer.
The latter can also change at its discretion the size of the intake cell, which in the standard form is 50x200 mm. The minimum bar diameter is Ø 3.7 mm, but there are structures with a thicker bar, an example of which is the Gitter 3D fence with a working rod diameter of about 5 mm.
This also includes support pillars. In cross-section, they are round or square structural elements and have a wall thickness of 1.5-2 mm. Mounting holes are drilled in these posts. The complete set of such support pillars also includes special protective plugs. They are designed to prevent the ingress of atmospheric moisture into the column.
Included with the posts are also flanges or screw supports. The choice of these parts depends on the chosen mounting technology.
The hardware kit consists of brackets and clamps made of metal or plastic. All components of the fence are resistant to adverse weather conditions. The welded mesh gitter is coated with PVC or painted with powder, while the supporting fence posts can be painted with powder paint, the color of which, at the client's discretion, is selected according to the RAL table.
Layout of the territory and installation of pillars
The universal nature of the complete set of 3D fences allows them to install and install the mesh by hand without the involvement of third-party specialists, which makes it possible to do without spending money on their labor.
Operating procedure:
- The installation of such a fence should begin by marking the site in the corners, installing stakes, pulling the cord around the perimeter and marking the place for the gate or wicket. The marking is done using a tape measure, and the vertical alignment of the pillars is done using a level.
- Further, support pillars are installed along the marking lines, the distance between which should be equal to the width of the intake sections.
- If such pillars are placed on a concrete or asphalt surface of the territory or on a previously poured strip foundation, then they should be attached to it with anchor bolts.At the same time, the fence posts have flanges welded to them with several mounting holes, into which these anchor bolts are screwed.
- If they are installed in the ground, then, depending on its type, they can be fixed in the ground using concreting or rubble. Pouring with concrete can be carried out either partially or carried out to the full depth to which the underground part of the pillar is lowered. The first option applies to soils with sufficient strength. In this case, the pillar is deepened into the ground to a depth of one meter, but the concrete is poured only half of this depth.
- For weak bulk and light soil soils, full concrete filling of the entire depth of the underground part of the column is used.
To enhance the strength characteristics, you can use a reinforcing cage.
- Another way to install pillar supports for the subsequent attachment of the Hitter fence mesh to them is to place them on screw piles, which are simply screwed into the ground, and then the pillars are attached to them and poured with concrete. This method is the fastest and least labor intensive. The sections can be mounted immediately after the supports are installed, without waiting for the concrete mixture to set.
Installation of intake sections
This final part of the 3D fence is the easiest to implement. After the supports are installed according to one of the above methods, the contractor only needs to fasten the sections to the supports. To do this, use clamps, brackets or pressure plates with bolts and nuts.
Advantages of 3D fences:
- The popularity of this type of fencing is due to the fact that their transparency does not reduce the view and allows air and sunlight to freely penetrate to plantings and plantings. This is especially valuable in a garden plot. At the same time, such fences serve as a reliable protection of the territory from unwanted intrusions. This is due to the special demand for 3D fences for enclosing summer cottages, vegetable gardens, orchards and other areas where fruit crops and trees, vegetables and flowers are grown.
- Low cost and the ability to install such a fence on your own without significant labor costs in a relatively short time is another argument in its favor. The variety of colors of the fence mesh gitter allows you to select any color of the fence in full accordance with the design of the site and buildings on it.
The fence posts and the gitter mesh itself can be painted the same way or have different colors.
- The simplicity of the device of such fence structures is the key to the high speed of their installation. Thanks to a technically competent set of special fasteners, 3D fences, fences assembled with speed and ease from separate sections, with the bulk of the time spent on marking the territory and installing the pillars.
- 3D fences disprove the popular belief that low cost cannot be a guarantee of quality. The principle of their manufacture is based on the technology of circular welding. Through the use of this method it is almost impossible to break the bars of the intake grate. Therefore, in terms of reliability, such fences do not differ from solid fences made of metal or stone.
- The same can be said about their durability, which is achieved due to the high quality of the external level of protection of all structural elements of such fences. Life timedeclared by manufacturers for such fences is about 15-20 years, and they are produced at many of our domestic enterprises. For this, imported equipment is used, and the technological process is based on European technologies and international standards.
- Another important advantage of 3D mesh fences is their ease... Each intake section is comparatively lightweight. This circumstance makes it possible to install such fences without the use of special equipment, dispensing with a small number of assistants.
Each type of fence has certain advantages. Wooden fences stand out for their beauty and environmental friendliness, concrete or stone - strength and solidity, corrugated fences - ease of maintenance and ease of installation and installation.
The uniqueness of the 3D mesh lies in the fact that it has absorbed the entire set of the above advantages at once, but is practically devoid of disadvantages. This explains why an increasing number of homeowners and executives and business owners are choosing it.
