If you need to make a fence around a plot, the best budget option would be a fence made of corrugated sheet metal. This material looks stylish, is practical in use, and ensures a long service life of the finished structure. Such fences with sliding gates can often be seen on private plots, and they are also often used as a fence for a summer house. You can install a metal fence yourself. The main thing is to take into account some points and follow the recommendations of specialists.

Options for installing a fence made of corrugated sheets

The choice of the appropriate option takes into account the required aesthetics, landscape design and the specifics of the material used. The price of a fence made of corrugated board directly depends on this. Conventionally, the structures can be divided into the following types:

• solid - the supports are covered with sheets of material;
• sectional fences - its spans are divided by posts, the size of the section is selected taking into account the terrain;
• foundation - the supports are installed in a strip foundation, this format provides high wind resistance;
• support - a budget project that provides for the installation of unconnected supports.

The owner himself decides which option to choose for landscaping the site. When contacting the construction company "RSK ALBA" for a fence installation service, you can count on a consultation to help find a suitable design. In addition, professionals will perform all turnkey work, providing for the installation of gates and the installation of a wicket. At the same time, the cost of the fence is set at the planning stage and does not change until the delivery of the facility.

How to choose a corrugated sheet for fencing

The quality of the material used determines the wear resistance and service life of the structure. The following is required for the work:

• Pipes – for posts and lintels. Experts recommend products made of black or galvanized steel with a square or rectangular cross-section. Their diameter is from 50 to 80 mm. The optimal option for crossbars is 20x40 mm.
• Powder-coated corrugated sheets – have different markings. For a vertical fence with gate installation, the PS-20 format is recommended. The number indicates the depth of the profile for the fence.

Stages of installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets

Let's consider the option of installing a fence with a gate without a foundation. Initially, you should determine the installation location of the future posts. Using a shovel or a garden drill, dig holes 70 cm deep, taking into account the length of the pipe. The location of the gate installation is also marked. Further actions are as follows:

• Installation of posts. They are immersed in dug holes and filled with concrete. Structurally, they can contain forged metal elements.
• Installation of lintels. They are fixed only after the concrete has completely set. Fastening is carried out using threaded connections with a rubber gasket or by welding. The number of lintels depends on the height of the metal fence.
• Fastening the material. Sheets of corrugated board are fixed to the created frame. The process involves subsequent overlapping of the sheets one on top of the other. This ensures the tightness of the joint.

The final stage of installing the fence is installation in the upper part of the U-shaped bar. Threaded connections or rivets are used in the work. This type of edging allows you to create an aesthetically pleasing design for the structure.

Tips for installing corrugated sheets

In order for the structure to look presentable and serve as long as possible, you should take into account the following recommendations from professional craftsmen:

• The metal sheets are raised from the ground by 50-70 mm, from the foundation - by 30 mm;
• Fastening with screws is carried out every 2-3 waves of the profiled sheet;
• Installation is carried out in one direction, without turning the material over;
• Rivets will provide increased strength and stability of installation;
• Mistakes should be avoided when screwing in the screw, since the integrity of the sheet will be compromised, which will lead to corrosion in the future.

Coating the surface of the profiled sheet with a polymer composition makes it possible to spend a minimum of effort on maintaining the fence in the future. But the influence of sand and gravel can lead to mechanical damage on it. You can restore the previous appearance with the help of specialized paint for corrugated sheets. As a preventive measure, you can treat the structure with such paint every 2-3 years.
