Fences made of welded galvanized wire mesh: installation, advantages and disadvantages

Some summer co-ops do not provide for installation between slate fences or any other similar material, since such designs obscure small areas. At the same time, the fence is made of welded galvanized wire mesh. It will not prevent the ultraviolet from entering the site, it will not impede the natural air circulation and can be erected by any summer resident.

Preparation

Rabitsa is an inexpensive material that is ready to last a long time. As its additional advantage is the possibility of using it as a support for climbing plants. This grid was invented back in the late 19th century, but to this day it is widely used. Every consumer is able to buy it.

To create a fence, in addition to the grid, it is necessary to prepare reinforcing bars, thick wire, supporting poles and rope. When choosing a grid, you should pay attention to the size of the cells. The smaller it is, the mesh will be more expensive, but also more durable. If the mentioned parameter is equal to the limit from 40 to 50 mm, and the width of the roll is 1.5 m, then this material will be an excellent solution for creating a fencing of the country site.

Stretching fence

The fence made of welded galvanized wire mesh can be tensioned. This method of making it is the simplest. After all, the material will have to be pulled between posts that can be made of the following materials:

• concrete;
• wood;
• metal.

The number of supports will depend on the step between them and the length of the fence itself. The best distance is a parameter of 2.5 m. Pipes can be used as posts, but they should not be damaged by corrosion. On sale today you can find ready-made poles, which have hooks and painted surface. Wooden supports must be treated with a protective compound before installation.

As an alternative solution are the concrete pillars, to which the grid is fixed by a yoke or wire. The height of the pillars must be calculated. If the gap between the ground and the fence makes a limit of 5 to 10 cm, then to this parameter should be added the underground part of the support and the width of the grid. The load on the corner poles will be greater, so they need to be located deeper than the rest. Consequently, their length should be longer than the length of conventional poles by 20 cm.

When making a fence from a welded galvanized mesh, you must concrete the bases of the supports to increase strength. The posts will be a framework of construction. After installing them, you can start fixing the grid. Once the concrete has hardened, hooks are fixed to the posts or welded if the post is metallic. In the role of material for fastenings, you should use:

• Wire;
• Nails;
• rod;
• Screws.

You can apply any other material that is bent into hooks. The roll is straightened and installed at the corner support, the grid must be hung on hooks.

Recommendations for work

The roll must be wound one span to reach the next post. The rod is passed a little further back where the grid will connect to the post. The master should hold the rod and pull the net. If the rod is not used, the grid can be stretched unevenly.

It is better to carry out these works by enlisting the help of another person. He will hold the grid at the bottom edge, while the other master at the top. At the next stage, the reinforcement is passed into the mesh, it is necessary to retreat along the edges 5 cm. When installing a fence from a welded galvanized mesh, it is necessary to weld horizontal bars or fasten to posts.

Without using bars, in time you will come across the fact that the grid will hang. In the case where the technology is observed, the rods are used to maintain tension. The net should be pulled further along the principle described above, fixing and stretching the rod or wire. On this we can assume that the fence is almost ready. Hooks bend on poles, the last of which are painted. It is recommended to wrap the wire antennae down to reduce the risk of injury. The wire is usually passed through the upper edge of a row of cells, around it, the protruding edges should be wrapped.

Sectional fence

To build a sectional fence, you will need sections where the grid will be installed. At the first stage, you should use technology that is similar to the above. For this purpose, the territory is marked out, and then posts are installed.

The installation of the fence from the grid will involve the use of a corner whose dimensions are 40 x 5 mm. These elements will be needed to make the frame. Its length is determined taking into account the distance between the pillars, this value must be taken away 15 cm. The same should be subtracted from the height of the column above the soil level. This will get the width of the frame.

Corners need to be welded into rectangular structures. The size of the sections is made taking into account the size of the mesh, which varies from 1.5 to 2 m. The welded galvanized mesh in rolls can be cut by an angle grinder if necessary.

Methods of work

At the next stage, metal strips are welded to the posts. Arrange them horizontally. Their length can be from 15 to 25 cm. With regard to width and section, they are equal to 5 cm and 5 mm respectively. With a deviation from the edge of the 20 cm column, it is necessary to install a section between two supports. Welding is used for this. The next step is to start painting the fence.

Cost of fence

Quite often dacha owners and land owners within the city are wondering about how much a fence is made of galvanized mesh. If the width of the material is 1.5 m, then it is necessary to pay 310 rubles for such a fence. For running meter. With the use of a grid, the width of which is 1.8 m, specialists take for their services 390 rubles. For running meter.

Stretching armature will cost the consumer 40 rubles. For running meter. You too may be interested in the question of how much the fence costs. If its length is 50 m and more, then the running meter will have to pay 355 rubles. This price is valid for structures in which the reinforcement is installed in one row. The width of the mesh is 1.5 m. This parameter will be equivalent to the height of the fence. If it increases to 1.8 m, the cost will rise to 415 rubles. The price includes metal supports, pulling the valves in one row, galvanized wire mesh and installation work.

Cost of the grid

If you yourself decided to do some work on the installation of the fence, then you can ask about the cost of the grid. If the diameter of the wire used is 1.2 mm and the cell size is 10 x 10 mm, then the price per square meter of material is 455 rubles. The price for a roll at the same time is 6825 rubles.

Grid galvanized, the cell of which is 20 x 20 mm, will cost the consumer 234 rubles. Per square meter. The diameter of the wire used is 1 mm. But the price for a roll will be equal to 7020 rubles. With the increase in the cell size to 25 x 25 mm, the cost rises to 416 rubles. Per square meter. At the same time, the diameter of the wire is 2 mm, and the price per roll will be equal to 12,480 rubles. Grid welded galvanized 50x50 mm will cost the consumer 312 rubles. Per square meter, while the price of the roll will be 7020 rubles, and the diameter of the wire will be 2.5 mm.

Conclusion

Grid welded galvanized in rolls will be an excellent material for making a fence. It is easy to cut, it is easy to pull between the pillars, in addition, it is distinguished by its durability. And in some cases, the grid is the only true solution when it is necessary to protect the site, but it is required to provide access to it for sunlight.
