Fences, protecting private possessions, starting with a small summer cottage and to huge estates, serve not only protection from someone else's eyes and uninvited guests, but often decorate the plot. As a rule, fences are built from wood, because this raw material is the most common material in Russia. Of all the varieties of fences recently gets the spread of wooden blinds, the design of which resembles the usual form of decorative products. They obtained such a name due to the inclined location of individual horizontal elements (lamellas), with the only difference - the absence of the rotary mechanism.
Advantages and disadvantages
Blind Fences are highlighted among mass fences from the stakenice or proflist.
From a number of advantages of binding fences, first of all, it is necessary to note their external attractiveness and a good combination of almost any design of the landscape.
There are other benefits:
- Optimal filtration of sunlight. The lumens between the individual lamellas freely skip the light, the site is well covered, but the overview of the site is difficult outside.
- Originality of the design. Blind fences are highlighted among mass fences from a stakenice or a professional leaf, which allows the home master to make his site unique.
- The cost of blinds varies from 600 to 1000 rubles. For the temporon meter, which allows to compete with the fences made from other materials.
- The design of the fence is good noise protection, which is relevant for sites located close to roads.
Design provides good ventilation
The lattice design provides good ventilation of the entire site. This is important for wet or wetlands. In addition, the constant purge of the elements of the fence contributes to a long period of operation, subject to proper and regular care.
The possibility of building a fence with their own hands.
The disadvantages of the blinds should be attributed to the possibility of viewing the rooted territory and the fact that minor animals can penetrate through narrow slits, including rodents.
Blind fences have external attractiveness and are well combined with any forms of landscape design, do not shade the plot and have a low pricing policy.
Montage sequence
Getting Started by the installation of blinds, it is necessary to pre-prepare the material. For the fence, we select the board with a length of 2.0 m, width - 0.15 - 0.2 m, 2.0 cm thick. To exclude the deformation of the boards when they dry out, the material must be dried and handled with flame retardant and antiseptic compositions to increase the service life.

Now it is necessary to prepare support pillars. Poles can be made of concrete, asbetic pipes, metal or wood. The choice of column material depends on the overall design of the site, taste of hosts and material opportunities. The height of the poles can be about 2.0 m above the level of land, the distance between the columns 2.0 is 2.5 m.
The method of fastening lamella depends on the shape and material of the column
To install the columns, they dig a hole with a depth of 0.5 - 0.6 m, on the bottom we smear the drainage pillow - a mixture of sand with a rubble or gravel with a thickness of 10.0 cm. Pillow with a trambe and install a pillar, align it and pour the pit with concrete. To set concrete, it will take 2 - 3 days, now you can start directly to the lamella mounting.
Fastening lamellae
The method of fastening lamella depends, first of all, on the shape and material of the column. Consider some options suitable for installation with your own hands.
- Wooden square pillar. Fix the lamellas can be attached as follows: to nail the board with inclined slotes under the lamella (step 15 - 20 cm), lamellas insert into the slots and fix it with nails or screws; To kill to the post under the tilt of the cutting board (guides), equal to the width of the column, the width of the cropping - 15 - 20 cm, the distance between the cropping is equal to the thickness of the lamellas.
- Metal round post. Breeping a vertical timing to the post, pre-with one side is made of half the diameter of the pillar. On the other side of the bar we make inclined slits on the thickness of the lamellas. Securing the bars on both sides of the pillar, cover the pillar, turning it completely into the wooden.
- Concrete pillar. Over the entire height of the post, it is secreted with a bar with slots for lamellas or nail the guides to the bruus. The mounting of the bar to the post can be performed using anchors.
- A column of an asbetic pipe. Fix the guides with slots can be on both sides of the pillar using long bolts.
After mounting the lamellae, the top of the columns must be closed with special caps, and on top of each section we install a visor from metal.
