Fences
Fences for cottages
A fence for a dacha is a structure that marks the boundaries of a site and protects from uninvited visitors and prying glances. Fences can be temporary or permanent, solid or translucent.
To install enclosing structures, a variety of materials are used - wooden or metal picket fences, chain-link mesh, 3D panels, corrugated sheets, sections made of heat-resistant plastic. A large selection of materials and designs makes it possible to choose a country fence that will ideally fit into the landscape of the site, will be in harmony with the decoration of the facade, and meet accepted standards.
According to SNiP, fences that are installed between sections must be at least 50% translucent. This is necessary so that continuous shadow is not created in the areas, which interferes with plant growth. By agreement with the owner of the neighboring plot, continuous fences up to 1.6 m high can be installed along the boundary. Such strict requirements are not imposed on the part of the fence that faces the street. The design can be solid or translucent. The choice of material and type of construction depends on the desires of the site owner and the construction budget.
Monolithic fences for dachas
Monolithic fences are fences on a shallow foundation, pillars concreted to the full depth, lined with brick. The sections can be filled with corrugated sheets, wooden panels, vertical or horizontal metal picket fences, concrete sections lined with natural or decorative stone.
Fences of this type are characterized by high strength, reliability, excellent protective functions and decorative qualities. The strip foundation ensures the stability of the enclosing structure during construction in areas with difficult soil. Solid fences with high windage, installed on a concrete base, can withstand even hurricane winds. Solid sections 1.6-2 m high have good insulating qualities and do not allow street noise and dust to pass through. It is very easy to care for a fence made of metal picket fences, corrugated sheets, or concrete panels. It is enough to wash away dust and dirt with plain water from a hose or mini-wash.

What affects the cost of a fence?
First of all, the standard size of the fence. Low fences will be noticeably cheaper than high ones, and transparent ones - solid ones .
Structures fixed to concreted or dug-in supports will also be more profitable than fences erected on a strip foundation.
The next economic parameter will be the source material for the work. What does the budget sector offer today?

a low wooden fence will be an additional touch to a country-style dacha
Wooden fencing is always aesthetically pleasing, stylish and gives the dacha area a cozy look. You can make a lot of types of fences from this material.
- Fence. Inexpensive, but allowing you to experiment with shapes and designs, the material. It is not problematic to change the width of the step for installing elements or to make the top edge curly.

- Ranch. This type of fence is built from unedged boards or beams. These structural components are fixed to the supports in a horizontal projection. The width of the step can also be determined by the taste of the owner.

- Wattle fence. The main element of this, perhaps the cheapest wooden fence, is beautifully intertwined rods. The fence turns out quite in a rustic style and looks simply great, but the design has one drawback. It is difficult to reproduce for people who do not have weaving skills. The strength of the fence leaves much to be desired, but the decorative effect is top notch! Such fences cannot be painted. If desired, they can be varnished.

- Lattice fences. They are collected not only from slats. Rough poles look very good in the composition, which, by the way, will significantly reduce the cost of it.

- Palisade This is another original option for using wood and it is much easier to build than the same wattle fence. Sanded logs with turned tops are used for work. It is desirable that they be of the same section. The original Slavic fence will become a landmark in the area.

Metal
What can you most often see as country fences?
- Chain-link mesh. It is offered with galvanization or polymer coating. The mesh is attached in different ways. Some people prefer to place it on a metal frame, while others think it is safer to weld it into separate sections, onto the frame of which pipes or corners are assembled. The cheapest option is to stretch the mesh over dug-in poles. The mesh fence is quite high. It cannot be crossed. At the same time, it does not form shading areas on fertile soil, which allows the unhindered use of structures of this type on the boundary.

- Corrugated mesh. It is stronger than chain-link, as it is made of seven-millimeter bent wire, and is more affordable. However, the decorative effect of the fence will leave much to be desired.
- Welded mesh. The fence made from it is practical, looks good and is easy to use. This is the most expensive of the materials presented, but still, compared to capital fences, it is noticeably more profitable.
Corrugated sheet
a corrugated fence is practical and durable
Don't know what to use to build a solid country fence? Take a look at the corrugated sheeting section. Today you can find good deals there at competitive prices. There are 2 types suitable for you:
- Wall. The wave height on it is up to 20 mm. In addition to fencing the territory, corrugated sheeting of this class can also be used for cladding a house or commercial buildings.
- Roofing. The wave height of this species reaches 44 mm. This is a universal material, suitable for both fencing areas and arranging roofs.
If you conduct a comparative analysis of the cost of the presented consumables, it will become clear that the most profitable in terms of savings will be the nets.
PVC
Some of the obvious advantages of plastic fences are price and quick installation
Fencing made of polyvinyl chloride began to enter everyday life in the countries of the post-Soviet space not so long ago, but is steadily gaining popularity. Such fences have many advantages:
- They are durable.
- Available in different colors.
- Available in different textures.
- Not afraid of ultraviolet radiation.
- Frost-resistant.
- Moisture resistant.
Installing structures is a pleasure. The only problem is that stores are not always ready to satisfy customer demand, so order products in advance.
Combined fences
We will not say unequivocally which fence is better to install at the dacha, since the choice is influenced not only by financial capabilities, but also by the taste and sense of style of the developer. Some people are very comfortable behind a three-meter fence made of reinforced concrete panels, others do not recognize anything other than openwork forging and wood, and the third really likes a hedge.
However, combined fences today find the maximum number of fans, since they combine high aesthetics and strength. A combined fence is usually placed along the main facade of a building and they try to make it as expressive and harmonious as possible.
If your budget is limited , but you want to make the fence at your dacha beautiful and reliable, combine natural stone on the base and pillars with filling the purlins with sheets of corrugated sheets.
For a medium budget, a combination of stone with decorative brick or tinted wood is perfect.
If there is no shortage of funds, we recommend choosing a wrought iron fence , which will be installed on a foundation made of torn stone. Fences made of stone and colored bricks with walls decorated with forged gratings look great.
Anyone who loves original solutions will probably choose a gabion fence. This very interesting and unusual design is a lattice container made of steel wire filled with stone. They install such a fence by filling container blocks in layers and securing them together with wire.
Brick fences
This type of fencing is especially popular because it combines maximum strength and durability. A brick fence cannot be called cheap. However, given that it will stand for at least 50 years, such expenses can be incurred.
The only caveat for those who want to install a brick fence is the aesthetic side of the issue. You should not use bricks of the same type, size and color for such a fence, so as not to get a dull composition reminiscent of a prison wall.
Use facing and textured bricks for the fence , feel free to introduce forging elements, inserts made of natural stone, wood, and your creation will acquire the desired solidity and impeccable aesthetics.
The pillars for a high brick fence should be reinforced with a steel pipe, embedded in a reliable foundation to a depth of at least 1 meter. In this case, the walls can be laid out in half a brick and significantly save on construction. The base for a brick fence is best laid out of large stone with jointing. This option looks especially solid and solid.
Wooden fences
When deciding which fence is better and cheaper, you should not forget about wooden structures. The range of choice here is quite wide. You can use not only an ordinary inexpensive picket fence for fencing an area, but also very original wooden structures made from solid unedged boards laid on top of each other in a herringbone pattern.
Wooden fences “live” for quite a long time and this period depends entirely on the quality of processing of the material. If you do not spare antiseptics and high-quality paint, then a wooden fence will last at least 15 years. It should be noted that these fences look especially harmonious on areas with houses made of rounded logs or timber.
The latest “squeak” of the country style is a wooden picket fence made of tall posts with pointed tops. It is clear that such an unusual fence would be appropriate only for a site where all elements are consistent with the general style.

Capital fencing at an affordable price can be mounted from durable plastic reinforced with aluminum profiles. The appearance is reminiscent of a wooden fence, but there is no need to maintain it. A person without special construction skills can install such a lightweight fence. White color retains its brightness for a long time and is suitable for most design styles of house facades.

A machine of logs - and the fence is ready. All you need is a frame made of wooden beams. And saw cuts or firewood are neatly placed inside. True, it is worth taking care of protection from precipitation so that the wood does not soften. The filler can be used to light a fireplace or stove in a bathhouse. Perhaps this is the most environmentally friendly and practical way to fence off your area.

Even an ordinary chain-link mesh can be turned into a work of art. Any available materials will be useful: empty bottles, disposable tableware, satin ribbons, threads, etc.
An original ornament made from painted plastic cups was created on a grid. They are held in place without additional fastenings. The pattern can be anything your imagination is capable of. First you need to draw it on paper, lining the sheet to fit the “chain-link”. And, following the drawing, insert cups or other objects into the holes. Damaged elements can be easily replaced with new ones. The process is long, but the result will please the owners and passers-by.
