How to make a wrought fence with your own hands

Anyway, we protect our sections. Even if you are not annoyed by constant curious views, then still the need for at least the boundaries indicate. You can put a conventional boardy fence. He will not give your possession to your possession, but for a while I will solve the problem. And why not make a fence, which will also protect the plot, and look extraordinary, and just like the century. In this article, we will tell you how to make a fence with your own hands.

Types of adhesive fences

Forged fence it is possible to perform in three versions:

• by using welding. This path is the easiest, and as for the price, it is the most democratic;
• actually forging. Manufacturing requires a long time, and the process itself is not called simple, so you need to be patient;
• combined. The combination of the first first options. Do not do without special equipment, but even if it is presented, the newcomer does not cope with this work - this is a job for professionals.

Covered fence with your own hands

Reviewing the photos forged fences, one is struck by the diversity and quirkiness of drawings, sometimes reminiscent of lace. The farmstead is surrounded by a fence thus acquires its own individual person, a kind of aristocracy, as well as for the life, they also enjoy the descendants will be. Fence all good, but expensive. If you do not want to invest big money then fabricate forged fence with their hands. This is troublesome, but it's worth it. Forging is of two kinds:

• hot;
• cold.

Where do you start? But with the following:

• with the choice of pattern. A lot of photo albums with thumbnails forged fences can be found on the Internet and specialized publications. Novice, of course, we should not stop at the jewelry forging - it is only by professionals;
• if available, then volunteered as an assistant to the blacksmith, that he will give you a few lessons. If you can not practice in this forge, the special literature read, watch training videos like this here:

• now we mark up the perimeter of the future of the fence, set posts and consider how many sections we need. The measurements must be accurate. All record and sketch.

In this forging (hot) elements future fence heated and then combined with the use of a hammer. It also requires more equipment, which hardly has every homeowner. Therefore, we consider the production of a variant of the fence by cold forging, as it is more readily available in the home.

The equipment for manufacturing by cold forging fence

For the manufacture of the fence elements by cold forging are the following equipment and devices:

• gnutikom. With it holds the flexible metal rod of square or circular cross section at any angle. This tool - basic;

• snail. With the application of the cochlea spirals are created;
• flashlight. It can bind bars in complex patterns made of round profile with a diameter up to 0.3 cm or 1.6 cm square;

• wave. After the processing in this device are obtained wavy elements;

• twister. The design is similar to a flashlight. Obtained twisted details.

If the tool is available, then you can start:

• We transfer the fruit of his imagination on paper. On the sketch Dimensions. Note that not all types of forged fences sketches which we liked, you can perform at home. Everything depends on the parameters of the existing devices.
• We calculated how much material is required. It is better to do experimentally, ie to draw a sketch of an element on a flat surface, and then take the wire to lay it on the circuit pattern, and then straighten it and measured. Then everything is simple: define the number of elements multiplied by the length of one. The distance between the elements is also measured. As you can see, everything is simple.
• We buy the material. Do not forget that it is necessary to bend by hand, so a thick metal not take. At the same time buy a small balls, which will be welded to the ends of the curls.
• devices settings are set. Need to show the utmost attention, if something goes wrong, then the marriage corrective lends itself very difficult. Grinder to cut metal workpiece.
• We carry out elements of the pattern, at the same time can be difficult to manufacture curls, but if you are always at their tightening to stop at the same location, they will get the same diameter. The cross-section parts which are made on the twister, i.e. twisted long rods during operation increases, so if you plan to decorate their forgings, like here in this photo, then consider this fact when selecting the inner diameter. It's better to make a rod to measure the diameter and only buy forgings. For example, if you used the rod of square section 10x10 mm, the suitable forging with an internal diameter of 14 mm.

• To prepare all the details, making them the frame. The most accessible material -. Square tube 2,5h2,5 or 3x3 cm Cooked frame, place it harvested all the elements to see how things will look. If something does not suit, it is too late to alter.
• The assembly will be done on level ground at a horizontal position of the frame. The welding process start with the torsion bars, and then to fasten them remaining elements.
• We clean welds metal brush.
• Degreased and gruntuem.
• Set the fence, which digging a shallow trench, there are driving legs frames and perform base made of concrete on the perimeter fence. You can oblitsevat its stone.
• We paint our fence.

Separately, some information about the poster:

• we take 40x40 mm tube and make the preform therefrom a desired height;
• to close the top of the column, acquire balls, but you can do something else that is on sale and welds.

Another detail: here is a welded joint looks rough, does not help either cleaning or painting.

Output One: Enterprise Crimple Installation:

• we buy in a specialized store a lane with a metallic 2x0.2 cm;
• cut from it the workpiece;
• bending the letter P;
• we put it on the welded connection closed using the hammer. In order to speed up this process, you can purchase a device for flexible clamps, which is also called the crimp.

Even if you first encounter this kind of work, it is easy to cope with such a crimp, as the BlackSmith M05-GX, manufactured in Russia. It works with a 3x0.4 cm strip. Advantages:

• small dimensions;
• light;
• easy to operate.

What is attractive weld fence

The real adhesive fence is a luxurious thing, but not cheaper, but welded fences, although they are considered the most simple among forged elite fences, differ near the merits:

• they are beautiful;
• have a clear geometric pattern;
• differ in durability and long service life;
• require minimum care.

It is impossible not to remember about the shortcomings, and they are as follows:

• does not protect against street noise, wind, through it penetrates the dust and dirt area;
• it may be rusted, so it needs to be protected from corrosion.

Tool for making forged weld

If you decide that around your ownership there should be a fence of welded and make it you yourself, then get comfortable in advance about the instrument:

• bulgarian;
• welding inverter;
• viska;
• a compressor pulverizer;
• small tool;
• to twist individual items, a special device will be required.

Getting to work

All work provides for the preparatory stage, so:

1. We define the boundaries on which the fence will be mounted.
2. We proceed to the construction of the foundation:

• rOOM POWS for pillars to the depth of equal quarters of the total pillar height. The maximum distance between them is 2.9 m;
• from rubble, sand, cement and water are preparing a mixture for fill;
• pour the mixture into the pit;
• while the mixture was not frozen, drive in it a pillar, controlling vertical levels;
• set the struts to secure the columns. Of course: all poles must be at one height. It is permissible to use columns, both round and square sections. 6-8 cm diameter is enough;

• to the columns weld the transverse plates - at the top and bottom;
• to increase the durability of the fence, install the plugs on the columns, otherwise the atmospheric precipitates will make their job and the metal is rusted.

Welding sections

For the manufacture of sections you need to purchase:

• metal profile pipes 2x2, 4x2; 6x3 cm;
• pipes can be replaced with a 2.5x0.4 cm strip.

Now go to the next step - welding sections:

• from pipes or stripes, weld the frame. Its dimensions can vary from 0.7 to 2.9 m in width and from 1.5 to 2.0 m in height;
• fill the frame. For a beginner in this matter easier to do something like a lattice. At the same time, the pipe or strip is welded every 200-300 mm. You can buy ready-made adhesive elements and boil them into the lattice;
• welding places clean the grinder and soil;
• let me dry the soil and paint our enamel sections. It remains only to attach them to the columns, for which in the last, drilling holes;
• confirm sections with special fasteners that can be purchased in the store, but they look like this:

How the mount is performed, look at the video:

Worn fence with polycarbonate

The forged fence, with all its merits, has one drawback, for some very significant - you do not hide anything. Polycarbonate sheets will help correct this flaw. From the street, nothing to consider is not possible, but from the site you will see the street perfectly. The fence, combining polycarbonate and forging, looks very beautiful, and most importantly - the plot is not visible. What is good polycarbonate:

• he misses the light perfectly;
• aesthetic;
• very resistant to weathering;
• democratic price;
• with forging harmonizes perfectly;
• small weight.

Sheets are installed on the part of the site so that the street is forging. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that if someone leaves a stone into an adhesive fence with polycarbonate, then it will be damaged.
