New and high quality material - siding

Siding is a small panel that forms an attractive monolithic canvas. From the front part of the fastening elements are invisible, they are in the grooves. This material has been used to construct fences relatively recently. It combines the durability of artificial materials and the decorativeness of natural materials.

A wide range of materials allows you to choose the right fence option, which will fit in the landscape as much as possible. Often, the texture, pattern and color of the paintings are selected in such a way that they are combined with the roof or facade of the building.

Variety of material

To date, there are several types of siding. They differ among themselves not only in appearance, but also in characteristics. The assortment of shops includes the following types:

• Wood.
• Metal.
• Vinyl.
• Ground floor.
• Cement.

Wooden siding is one of the popular materials. This material is highly decorative. During manufacture, the tree is treated with special impregnations that protect the surface from pests, fungus, moisture. It should be noted the fire resistance of wooden siding.

Metal siding is considered to be the best material for building a fence. Its main advantages are durability and high resistance to external factors. The cost of such material is slightly more expensive than the rest. But the metal version for logs is characterized by high operational and aesthetic properties. Fence from the siding is easy to install. You can manage this task yourself.

Vinyl siding is the most common. It is characterized by its resistance to the environment and is able to retain its appearance for a long time. The design does not need additional processing and special care. This material is rarely used in the construction of fences.

Socle siding - a cast solid panels, which are often made of metal or vinyl. This material is characterized by high strength and durability. In addition, you can build a fence of siding for brick, stone, etc. Such a design will look attractive and original.

Cement siding is the most reliable material. It is durable, durable, resistant, safe, does not support combustion processes.

All panels differ among themselves and technical parameters. The length of the cloths is selected taking into account the future width and height of the fence. In addition, take into account the location of the slats. The strips can be fixed both horizontally and vertically.

Installation

The installation of the fence from the siding does not require certain skills and abilities. But you should first familiarize yourself with the main stages of this process. So you can avoid mistakes and build a new, durable and attractive fence.

First of all, they inspect the territory, mark out the location of the future fence. Determine the height of the fence and the material for the finish.

The fencing device consists of 2 main stages:

• Installation of support poles.
• Installation of fence sections.

Mounting of pillars

This is an important stage in the construction of a quality and reliable fencing. The design should be heavy and withstand significant wind loads. To fix the supports, it is necessary to make a well below the freezing level of the ground.

Often, the construction of a fence of metal siding involves the presence of a brick basement. Posts are also made of bricks. The erection of such a fence requires the creation of a reliable foundation. After all, its length is large, and it is impossible to strengthen the structure with additional internal partitions. At the same time, the wind load is quite large.

An easy and cheap way of constructing a fence from the siding under a tree is to use metal pillars connected by horizontal bridges as a support.

The installation of supports is an important stage in the construction of a future fence. The quality of the work performed depends on the durability, reliability and stability of the future design. Holes in the ground can be dug out on their own, and you can use a drill for these purposes. The depth of the pit must be at least 1.2 m, below the freezing level of the earth. At the bottom of the pit, rubble is poured, poles are installed at an angle of 90 ⁰ and filled with a solution. Construction works are suspended until the concrete solution dries completely.

Using metal profiles (pipes or square corners), make jumpers. Take into account the height of the fence. Welding reliably welds the jumpers to the pipes. If fixing occurs mechanically, you should prepare holes for bolts in advance. Horizontal jumpers should be at least two: the lower and upper. Experts recommend to make an additional jumper in the middle.

Bundle and siding installation

To the horizontal jumper should be attached vertical crate. On it and will later install the skin. The step of the crate must be at least 40 cm.

Installation instructions for metal siding do not differ from the facade of the building with this material. The panel joint line is covered with a standard decorative strip.

Decorative fence decoration

• Use the same material as for finishing the facade of the building.
• Finishing the siding under the stone.
• Finishing siding under the log.
• Combining several materials.

The easiest way is to plant decorative trees or shrubs near the fence that will hide the unattractive appearance of the structure. You can also use external siding for the cladding. The price of this material for the lining of the inner part of the fence can be slightly lower than the external. After all, you can use any kind of material.

In this case, you should mount the lath for the inside and install the panels.

At the final stage, the head supports and top of the fence should be completed.
