Installation of a fence made of panels

A fence is an important element not only of a private yard. It often serves as a fencing structure in areas of various purposes. Recently, a panel fence has become a popular format - a special type of fence consisting of sections fixed together. The variety of modern building materials makes it possible to choose a suitable option for sectional panels. At the same time, installing a fence of this type implies some features.

Installation of a fence made of panels: materials used

The question of what the fence will be built from is decided at the design stage. The selection features involve taking into account climatic conditions, the size of the territory, and the specifics of the structure's operation. Among the popular materials, reinforced concrete panels are noted. They are characterized by increased strength, long service life, and easy maintenance. Structures made of concrete panels serve for decades without requiring repair.

Other frequently used materials also include the following variations:

• Profile sheeting - fences made of them are erected in different colors, providing good protection from noise and dust from the street. The advantages of fences made of profiled sheeting are their affordability, ease of installation, moisture resistance, and the ability to easily withstand temperature changes.
• Metal fence - looks extremely aesthetically pleasing and perfectly suits any exterior design. Such a sectional fence can be made of mesh, picket fence, etc., implying different shapes and colors. Often, it is a metal fence that allows you to ensure complete privacy of the territory. Such structures are used to fence not only private areas, but also on the territories of enterprises and public buildings.
• Wooden fence - this format looks very harmonious in suburban areas, being made of environmentally friendly material. Decorative panels made by carving, burning and other methods can be used during construction. A plastic fence is no less popular. It does not rot, is not subject to corrosion and does not require current painting. One of the varieties of this format is a vinyl fence.

Noise protection panels are noted separately. Their design provides for several layers, one of which has a noise protection option. Metal, polycarbonate, and laminated glass are usually used as the main materials in the production of such structures. An excellent noise protection indicator is achieved through their combination.

Features of installation of a fence made of panels

Installation work on installing a fence requires following a certain order. The process is as follows:

• Preparing the site. If necessary, dismantle the old fence, remove debris, and eliminate plants.
• Leveling the ground. A flat surface is created in the places where the fence is to be installed. Pits and recesses are filled with soil, and elevations are leveled.
• Marking. The locations of the pillar installations are marked.
• Installing the pillars. Initially, holes are dug to a depth of 50-70 cm. Then the pillars are immersed in them and filled with concrete mortar.
• Fastening the panels. The sections are installed using fixing elements. Their type is selected depending on the material of the fence. These can be self-tapping screws or clips.

Next comes the installation of wickets and gates. In the process, hinges are attached to the pillars, and the correct opening and closing of these elements is checked.
