Modern enclosing structures can be the most diverse. All thanks to the enormous choice of building materials that may differ by those or other characteristics, various appearance options, as well as some other indicators that may be extremely important for individuals.

Despite the opportunity to choose the most successful material for the fence, almost all owners of small private territories do everything possible to save on the creation of a fence. Indeed, the current situation associated with low income of the population is simply forcing people to save on everything. However, if we are talking about a fence, then the situation is even more serious, as it is often a lot of construction resources for fence, especially if the area is considerable.
Thus, experts recommend paying attention to professional flooring. This material is really optimal in the value ratio and quality. It should also be recognized that the material has both advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to unambiguously say that this resource is suitable for all conditions.
In this article, we will consider the main features associated with professional flooring and its use to create a fence. You can ride a bit and noted that even those people who do not have enough experience can be engaged in creating a fence on the basis of a professional flooring.
Features of professional flooring
Those people who are slightly focused in the field of building materials, well know that the amount of products aimed at creating some building structures, grow rapid every year. However, the most interesting thing is that not all materials are able to please high quality and practicality. This is due to the fact that even those companies that are not going to increase sales have come to the market, but only plan to temporarily bribe buyers low price for their products. Accordingly, not all new materials and manufacturers who are released are capable of providing something worthwhile.
Experienced builders know that in certain situations it is better to trust the construction materials that have already known dozens of years. In this situation, all the features of this product are already known, and, most importantly, their disadvantages, from which and should be repel when choosing building materials.
Those new building materials that often bribe people who are not oriented in this product are also sometimes able to surprise. First of all, we are talking about high quality materials, their reliability and durability. However, you can immediately say that often all these "new materials" have a too high price tag, which is inappropriate for the owners with a limited budget.
As for the professional flooring, this is a fairly well-known and common material, which for several years gradually conquers the construction resource market. Often this resource is used to clamp walls of private houses and other structures, as well as roofing material. Almost immediately after the material appeared on the market, it became clear that it can be used for some other needs:
- Foundation formwork. In this case, we are talking about creating a fixed formwork, and it is worth noting that when using professional flooring, it is really high-quality to form a foundation. Most often, the use of professional flooring in this case allows you to get a lot of benefit.
- Basic structure. Indeed, professional flooring is often used as a carrier design. However, such events make sense to hold far from all construction, but only in limited cases.
- Fencing. This is exactly what will be discussed in this material. For the construction of the fence, professional flooring is used quite often, therefore it makes sense to comprehensively analyze this issue.
The advantages and disadvantages of the fence from the professional flooring
When there is a choice between different building materials, it is necessary to understand that it is often a decisive factor at first glance a minor item. Approximately the same situation is also with the advantages, each of which may be decisive when choosing resources for construction or repair.
Advantages:
- Price. The crisis situation is mercilessly affecting people's pockets who plan to conduct construction or repair work. Ultimately, we have an environment in which each penny fence has a tremendous value on a large scale. If we are talking about creating a fence, then a lot of material is required. Accordingly, even with the most modest counts, we are talking about huge money. Compared to many other materials that are used to create a protective part of the fence, professional flooring looks really cheap option. And we are talking about creating a temporary fence, and about the capital fence.
- Practicality. If we talk about the practicality of the enclosing materials, first of all it concerns the most basic function of this resource. Professor fully limits the plot, protects it from many external factors. Many owners have to taste what professional flooring hides the territory from the eye of passersby, which in certain cases is really important. In addition, the practicality of the material here concerns its transportation to the destination, and, directly, fasteners of the professional flooring to the reference parts of the fence. You can pay attention to a natural largestone, which is distinguished by impressive weight and dimensions, due to which transportation becomes extremely difficult. A similar situation and with the creation of a protective part of the fence. The process can delay for long weeks. Against the background of this information, Profile is almost the best solution.
- Durability. Despite the small thickness of the material, it is characterized by sufficient reliability, which is the best suitable for the fence. The material has a protective layer, which in some cases is capable of protecting even from mechanical damage. It is also important to pay attention to the anti-corrosion coating of a professional flooring, which has tremendous importance in those conditions where the material is applied. It is obvious that the fence will be influenced by precipitation, which unprotected metal is simply destroyed. The corrosion process is able to make its "case" in a short time, and nothing will change anything. The fine protective coating of the professional flooring is really important if the material is used in the open sky. At the same time it is worth understanding that even the minimum mechanical damage can make it so that rust will appear on the surface of the professional flooring, and with an amazing speed it will spread.
- Range. For people who create a fence, the appearance of the material is extremely important. Fortunately, today you can find professional flooring with various colors, profile and many other options. Each owner will easily find for its own project, exactly what is best combined with the surrounding landscape.
- Combining materials. If we are talking about creating a fence based on a professional flooring, then a classic fencing consisting of their pipe supports and, directly, the most sheet product is often presented. In fact, if we talk about creating a fence from a corrugated floor, here you can combine a wide variety of materials. For example, it may be a brick fence using a corrugated floor as one of the enclosing materials. Such solutions can be quite a lot, the main thing is to make the fence looks attractive and harmonious. Extremely rarely professional flooring is part of some unique design, but simple and modern style is also a good solution.
Flaws:
- Low strength. It is impossible to ignore the information that the professional flooring itself is a subtle material that can be extremely easily damaged. For example, right before the fence, a person can stumble and hurt the enclosing part of the fence. It is obvious that the professional flooring will break a little, and in this situation will not be able to protect against such damage. For many people, this is not a disadvantage, since such a situation can occur with other materials. In addition, careful exploitation will not be superfluous.
- Appearance. For many people, professional flooring is not the most attractive externally material. Obviously, tastes are different, however, against the background of many other materials, it really looks quite simple for the enclosing part of the fence. In this situation, it can be noted that for this reason, many owners use professional flooring as a temporary fence. At the same time, you can pay attention to the fact that huge building structures and roofs cover the cornet. It can be noted that it often looks like minimal and modern.
Creating a fence from corrugated
Preparatory work
At the very beginning of all work related to the creation of the fence, it is necessary to create a project that includes the overall dimensions, as well as the numerous characteristics of the structure. It is necessary to mark the territory in order to no longer have any surprises related to the installation of the supporting parts of the fence.
For marking, it is best to use a thread that is stretched between metal pegs. After that, it will become clear where there are difficulties associated with further work on the creation of a fence. For example, in the right place there may be some kind of object (tree, huge stone), and before the start of the main events related to the construction of the fence, all problems need to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Directly at the stage of preparation for the creation of a fence, you must purchase all the necessary materials on the basis of which it will be possible to spend the entire amount of work. Materials will be much, however, they need to be delivered as quickly as possible to the right place, so that he would not distract anything from the most responsible building events.
Obviously, the consumption of the material directly depends on the height of the fence. Often, on the basis of corrugated, high fences are not created. This is due to the fact that this material is characterized by a small thickness, and large fences often differ in some monolithium. The optimal height of the fence is the value of 3-5 m.
Installation of support pillars
Despite the fact that in this material the attention is focused on the use of corrugated floor, the most responsible part of the fence is the reference component. This is quite obvious, since it is the supports that must be the most strong component of the fence, from which material it does not consist.
Specialists advise you to choose a pipe with a square or round cross section for this process. The diameter of these pipes is in the range from 50 to 80 mm. It is worth noting that often the top of the pipes are completely brewed. This is necessary in order to do not fall into the water.
The responsible process is the creation of pits under support. The depth of these verses can reach 1.5 m. Moreover, the diameter of the recess is important here. It is approximately 150 mm. If it is planned to create a small fence, then the best tool in this case will definitely turn out to be a manual burden. In other cases, it is possible to take advantage of special equipment, since manually hold such events is extremely difficult. The deepening should be the same throughout the perimeter of the site, since the correct placement of the support components of the fence is the key to the high quality of the fence.
The very bottom of each recess must be filled with gravel. The thickness of this layer should be approximately 150 mm.
Next occurs the installation of the pole itself. With the help of a building level, you need to place a metal product in such a way that there is not the slightest deviation from the verticality. After that, the space that remains after the creation of the gravel layer should be filled with cement mortar. This is a fairly fast process that does not require special skills. However, it is important to remember that the mixture will gain strength for a very long time. Often this requires several weeks, and before that load the support parts of the fence - not recommended.
Fastening transverse profiles
The next step is also responsible, as we are talking about the correct fastening of transverse profiles, on the basis of which the installation of the professional flooring will be performed.
Experts recommend to use as a lag (transverse components of the fence) a profiled pipe with a cross section of 40/25 mm. As for the number of lags, which should be placed horizontally, here it all depends directly from the height of the fence. As we mentioned a little earlier, high fences on the basis of professional flooring are extremely rare, and for small fences, three transverse profiles are enough. On their basis, the professional flooring will hold really reliably. Placing lags should be uniformly in the height of the fence: 2 transverse profiles is located below and on top, and one - in the middle.
Often, metal elements are attached to each other with the help of electric welding, which makes it possible to ensure maximum reliability of the structure, as well as the rate of construction of the fence.
After all metal components are fastened with each other, it is necessary to process the surfaces of the corresponding primer. It will preserve the initial properties of the material, and also keeps the corrosion action.
I would also like to note that there are many distinguished places where to install the support pillars to the above method is not the best solution. For example, it may be problem soils, because of which even firmly installed pillars will begin to deform and shift. To prevent such problems, you should pay attention to the creation of a ribbon box. It will be a solid concrete structure, which certainly will not allow the very problems associated with the deformations of the supports and other parts of the fence. Bad news is that it will require a lot of concrete to create such a base, and this is, in turn, large cash spending should be avoided. In the event that the soil, on the basis of which the construction is conducted, really has significant problems, then without additional measures to strengthen the design, it is impossible to do.
Installation of professional flooring
Well, now we come to the main process, for which this article was written.
The fastening of the professional flooring to the transverse elements of the fence occurs on the basis of metal screws (their length is 35 mm). As for the step between the fasteners, this value should be 500 mm.
It is important to remember that the docking of sheets between themselves should occur to the mustache, but should not be done so that a considerable part of the material is wasting, you need to save it all as possible.
It is important to note that the fastening of the professional flooring should also be carried out carefully, as it is extremely easy to damage the material with other metal products, and it can create sufficiently large problems.
