Choosing a fence for a plot is not easy task - it is necessary that it is reliable, durable, beautiful. All these requirements are responsible for the fence made of metal stakenik (Evrichnik). Climble is problematic - not that stiffness. Breaking it "boring" - usually, lovers to lose weight are limited to the fact that they will move a couple of planks. Beauty, of course, the criterion is subjective, but such fences look better than the same solid fence from the professional flooring. In addition, they are not so susceptible to wind loads, which allows you to save on the support pillars. Additional plus - they are blown. In general, a good option.
What is a metal stakenik
Metal stakenik makes a galvanized steel sheet. The sheet forms a relief, after which it is cut into stripes-staketin, is covered with protective compositions, painted. The planks of a certain height are obtained. Usually height - from 150 to 180 cm. For the collection of the fence, still supporting pillars are needed (most often 60 * 60 * 2 mm), the tents (two or three crossings, which come between the columns) and fasteners.
Looks quite solid
Types, shapes, profiles
The thickness of the European Metal can be from 0.4 to 1.5 mm. The most common - from the steel thickness of 0.5 mm. Staketina width - from 80 mm to 128 mm, length - up to 2 meters.
P and M - shaped metal stakenik profiles
There are metal stakenik with different profile: n (rectangular), m shaped and semicircular. M-shaped have more ribs, respectively have greater rigidity. But there are also P-shaped, in which the grooves are molded in the back. So in this case it is already difficult to say which one will be tougher. Most likely, the last, especially if the edges are rooted.
Each company has its own profiles
Semicircular also have greater rigidity, but more difficult to form and have a higher price. For greater strength, additional grooves can also be formed along the long side.
In general, the more rigid ribs, the better the strapbea is resist in length. But with the complication of relief the price becomes higher. Since she is rather big, usually you have to search for a compromise. In any case, the bar must withstand your attempts to bend it.
What to pay attention to when choosing
When you choose a metal stakenik, it is advisable to look at the batch offered to you live. It may be declared the same metal thickness, and in practice it turns out that the edge of the plank from one batch can be bent with a finger, with another party, such a focus is unable. And this is one manufacturer. The point is as a metal batch, and it is rarely stable.
The rooted edge, several layers of protective coatings - these are signs of a good metal stakenist
Be sure to pay attention to the edges - better if they are roles. Firstly, this is a more attractive appearance, secondly, the large stiffness of the stakeholder, thirdly, the sharp edge is bent and it is impossible for them. The disadvantage of the stakeholder with the rolling one is a higher price, as special equipment is required and extra time for processing.

Methods of coloring
It is worth sorting out in the way of color. There is an iron stake with bilateral and one-sided painting. With one-sided, the back side is covered with a layer of soil without staining. It has, respectively, gray. The fence made of metal stakenice painted on the one hand, from the inside of the gray section. It is not bad - he is not striking. If you do not suit you this option, or buy with bilateral painting, or Kraft yourself. Paint take "for roofs", picking up a suitable shade. Note that the metal died with a brush looks ... not very. If there is a paintopult, the appearance will be quite good, although not perfect.
So it looks like "starving" painted on one side of the fence made of metal stakenik
It is also necessary to take into account that there are two types of staining of the metal stakenist:
- polymer coating;
- powder paint.
The first method is much more reliable, since the application technology requires special equipment and harsh compliance with technology. As a result, such a stakeholder withstands increased mechanical effects. Even if the scratch appears in the coating (although it is necessary to try), the metal does not rust, as there are still protective coatings that prevent the appearance of rust.
Polymer coating - the best choice today
Powder spraying, in theory, no worse. But only if it was done according to the rules: a protective coating was applied to the projected metal, and on top of it - powder paint and baked it in special chambers. But the essence is that you can also apply in the "garage", and somehow you can burn it there. The result will only be completely different. In addition, there are ready-made sheets of Chinese origin. In them, paint is applied to the workshop, but, often, directly on the neglished steel surface. Externally, it is impossible to identify all these nuances, and after the slightest scratch, rust appears. So the polymer coating is more "safe."
What could be a fence made of metal stakenik
Metal fences can like or not, because there are no tastes. But in terms of practicality, they certainly benefit from wooden analogues. Installing once, you still do not remember the fence for years. It should not be painted so that it has a decent appearance, since good quality paint is kept for years without visible changes. And this is one of the important factors that are forced to think about installing such a fence.

Methods of installation
There are single-row and double-row (double-sided, chess) Method of installation of metal stakeholder planks. With a double row, the planks are located on both sides of the taper, and so that they even on a centimeter overlap each other. Therefore, the distance between the planks should be slightly smaller than the width of staketin. With this installation, the slats on the traffic point meter fence will be required by 55-60% more. But the fence is obtained practically imperishable - only at a certain angle can be seen a small part of the area. And this is despite the fact that the fence will not be solid and all the "charms" of a continuous fence will not touch you.
Metal Stakenik Mounting Methods: In one and two rows
Most often, the plank is mounted vertically, but there is also a horizontal installation method - it can also be single-row or double row. It looks horizontal fence more exotic. With a double row (double-sided) mounting of the slats, it turns out at all opaque.

The disadvantage of this method of installation is that special pillars and intermediate poles are needed, which will provide the required stiffness of the structure. Another nuance: the planks usually produce up to 180 cm long, longer have to be ordered, and it costs extra money. So either you have to raise the poles more often, or overpay for non-standard size.
Dimensions and distance
When installing in one row, the gaps between the straps can be different. The exact distance is chosen arbitrarily, depending on how "transparent" want to make a fence. Most often, the distance between Staketins is 35-50% of the width of the plank. But this is not a rule, and with smaller, and with big gaps.
When installing the chess, if you do not want your courtyard at an angle, the planks must overlap 50% width of staketin or more. If the "viewing" is unimportant, you can put them so that the edges overlap only by 1 cm.
The height of the fence is chosen depending on the wishes of the owners. If you want the courtyard to be as close as possible from an extraneous eye, the length of the bar must be from 180 cm. Taking into account the fact that they will be slightly raised above the ground, this is enough for the overwhelming majority of people could not look at your territory.
Height choose at will
If you do not care if there is something visible through the fence or not, you can take 1250 mm and 1500 mm. In the first case, the fence will end somewhere at the chest level of passersby, in the second - at the level of the eye or just below (look at the figure in the figure), and this is without a foundation.
The width of the span of a vertical fence made of metal stakenik - 200-250 cm. It is at such a distance that there are poles, then two or three crossbars are fixed between them. These crossmen are called "lags" or "tents." For a stakeholder up to 150 cm high, two are sufficiently cross, for higher, it is better three.
Types of fillings
There are some more varieties of filling the spans (distances between the support pillars). The easiest way to install the direct method is when all the strips of the same length. On top of such a fence, it is possible to start the P-shaped bar from the same material (sold there where both the Ershtroker is sold. In addition to aesthetic load, it still covers metal cuts, which increases the service life of the fence.
Types of Metal Stakenice Fences
All "waves" require trimming of most slats for a certain distance. One "wave" is made on the span with a step of 50 or 25 mm. With a step of 50 mm, the height difference between the shortest and the longest straps is significant, but the fence looks more openwork. In the case of "waves" in a step of 25 mm or with a "double wave", the difference is smaller. The top planks here are much less likely, but they can also be installed. Only at the site of the "Waves" fracture will have to trim the sidewalls and bend.
Features and installation rules
When installing the fence from a metal stake in the middle lane of Russia, it is recommended to install pillars from the profiled pipe 60 * 60 mm (you can 60 * 40). For the cross, it is more convenient to take the same profiled pipe, but with a cross section of 40 * 20 mm. In this case, the fence will accurately withstand wind and snow loads.

When installing the setting step - 2 meters. If the cross is two, they are fixed so that it is 25-35 cm to the edge of the bar, with a staketin height from 150 cm and more, a distance of 30-35 cm, with shorter - 25 cm. But, with a fence height above 1.5 m, It is better to do three lags, and not only in the regions with strong winds. Just with two lags, it turns out too much a distance between the fastener, which is why the planks are easy to push.
Approximately at such a distance it is necessary to mount lags when installing a fence from a metal stakenist
There are two ways to fix planks: on a screw and rivets. Self-tapping screws are installed on both edges of the bar on each of the cross. That is, if two are across two, it is necessary for each bar for 4 screws / rivets, if three, then the fasteners need 6 pieces on staketin. You can, of course, fasten to one self-tapping screw or rivet on the cross, installing it in the middle. But in this case, it is not necessary to push the stakes with your hands easier - and you do not need to climb through the fence.
So mount faster, but it is "purely decorative" fence
Which type of fasteners choose? Self-tapping screws are easy - in this, they are plus. But they are also easily unscrewed that, under certain circumstances, it may be a minus. Rivets require more time to install, but also to remove them much more difficult. What to choose? On the front part of the fence or if the fence is for a long time, it remains unattended (giving seasonal visits), it is definitely worth putting rivets. Of course, if the attackers will enjoy the goal, they will cope with rivets, but it will be more difficult to do it. When installing the fence between neighbors in permanent residence homes, it is quite possible to mount a metal stakenik on a self-tapping screw.
How to make it yourself
As you probably noticed, the metal stakenik is produced by almost the same technology as a professionalist, and there is a sheet cheaper. Therefore, many appear idea, make a stakenik, dissolving a strap strap. In principle, it is possible to do this if you are able to cut strictly along the line without any noticeable deviations. But for cutting it is necessary to use scissors for metal - sparkling or manual. Bulgarian cut in no case, because it burns the protective cover. So work is not difficult and time will take a lot. If you do not scare it, you can try.
For small fences, you can find a non-thendition in warehouses or manufacturers
What is the lack of a homemade stakenik from the professionalist? Everything is obvious: the edge rarely happens even, since manually do it is difficult. In addition, the cut turns out to be unprotected and can start rust. Of course, it is possible to wash the sections of the primer / paint, but that all layers are legally normally, an absolutely clean surface is required. That is, the sections of the sections initially need to be discussed (not so difficult, but takes time), then still degrease. Only in this case the protective coating will be really high quality.
It is advisable to fade the edges - it will give a homemade stakeholder greater stiffness, because additional reliefs rarely form on a straightener. He "keeps" the form due to its size and alternation of waves.
