Gone are the days when the dacha was a place of labor after work. Of course, there are still enthusiasts digging beds, breaking greenhouses and growing organic crops. But quite a lot of people have turned their summer cottage into a recreation area where you can fry kebabs, sing along with a guitar or put up a pool and escape the heat. In order for the dacha to become a place for a good rest, it is necessary to ensure privacy, to fence it off from neighbors, who can not only annoy with excessive curiosity, but also commit illegal actions. Surely you have heard of “dacha wars”, in which unscrupulous people penetrated neighbors’ plots in order to profit from crops, berries, and pick flowers.
To avoid these unpleasant situations, you need to install a reliable, durable fence in time that will turn suburban area in the "fortress". We offer a short overview of the two most popular materials.
Decorated flooring - maximum privacy protection
For the manufacture of fences, steel sheets 0.45-0.5 mm thick are used, coated with layers of galvanized and polymer for protection from corrosion. The fence is completely solid. By installing it around the perimeter of the site, you are guaranteed to maintain privacy and be able to arrange bold photo shoots in the country, enjoy leisure or work.
One of the main advantages of corrugated board is its relatively low price with high practicality. The material is not afraid of the vagaries of the weather, high humidity, resistant to ultraviolet rays, does not fade. It does not attract pests and rodents. It will last from 30 years even if you do not take care of it at all. However, these positive characteristics have a fence made from sheets of a reliable manufacturer, which does not save on quality. Pay attention to the company Vodostokstroy, a full-cycle manufacturer. You can find out the price of a corrugated fence here, on the official website of the plant. Here you can also choose a profile, shade according to RAL and place an order.
In terms of its strength parameters, a fence made of profiled sheet is practically not inferior to reinforced concrete, but much cheaper than the latter. However, a disadvantage must be taken into account. This is the wind effect. Under the influence of wind, the sheet of corrugated board begins to sway. A hurricane gust is able to completely destroy the fence, pull out the pillars from the ground, affecting the metal sheet.
Therefore, if the fence is installed in an area with high wind loads, it is better to choose a different material, for example, no less practical and aesthetic Euro picket fence.
A metal picket fence is a worthy alternative
Such a fence is made of individual steel strips, coated with galvanization and polymer protection. The standard length is from 1.5 to 3 meters, the width of the bar is 800-100 cm. The thickness of the lamella depends on what kind of steel was used. Can be 0.4mm, 0.45mm or 0.5mm. The picket fence is also made of stronger steel, but such an expensive solution is not practical for fencing a summer cottage.
The material is completely devoid of the sail effect, since it is not a solid blank canvas. But the price for euro picket is higher than for professional sheet. This is due to the fact that the process of manufacturing individual planks is more complicated and lengthy.
The metal picket fence does not interfere with normal air circulation, lets in the sun's rays, creating favorable conditions for plants and flowers. So is corrugated board, it is resistant to environmental factors, is not afraid of corrosion, temperature changes.
Materials for galvanized steel fences are an excellent choice for summer cottages. However, to appreciate their benefits, choose only quality options made by a reliable manufacturer. Now on the market you can find a lot of profiled sheet and picket fence almost garage production. Such material will not last even ten years, it will quickly corrode and require replacement. Therefore, contact Vodostokstroy.
