Almost every country site needs a fence. When creating a fence, it must be borne in mind that its main part is the pillars on which the whole design focuses. If the poles for the fence are massive and durable, it will save on the remaining components of the fence. It is important to pay attention to the fact that to create such columns you do not need a lot of production and many helpers. Full products can be created within the country area, armed with all the necessary tools and materials. Obviously, with the personnel creation of pillars for the fence, you can forget about poor-quality products, which is so much in our time. Here we ourselves are responsible for the durability and strength of building elements.
The main features of the creation of pillars for the fence
Many specialists in one voice say that to create high-quality posts for the fence, it is necessary to create a virtually perfect formwork. This element will be a stencil, from which product quality directly and depends. Any flaws, even the most minor, can say that the pillar will not be able to perfectly fulfill its tasks for a long time. For example, after a while, this element can give a crack, and then completely all fence falls.
Creating a formwork for poles
To create a formwork, it is best to choose wood design, which can be easily separated from the product already produced. The formwork will be a kind of box, the upper part of which should be opened for the arrangement of aggregate and fill the concrete in it.
Obviously, the creation of a high-quality formwork from a tree, in which there will be no cracks - a very difficult task. To avoid possible trouble, it is necessary to cover the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe design by polyethylene. This decision will make it impossible to significantly expand the aggregates, as well as the deformation of the box.
As for metal formwork, they are applied extremely rarely. When extracting or manufacturing columns, various problems may occur, as a result of which concrete products may be damaged or crack. When the column is removed, there is also a high probability that the employee will attain some part of the metal design and destroys the finished product.
Plastic formworks are also not the most successful solution, since this material can be easily damaged and become unsuitable for further use.
The main feature of the wooden formwork is the common simplicity. With the help of bolts, the board are connected to each other. After completion of construction work, it is necessary to simply unscrew the bolts and remove concrete products. It does not take much time, and also does not affect negatively on the integrity of the wood structure.
Reinforcement
To ensure the high strength of the pillars for the fence, it is necessary to take care of the reinforcement. As in most construction work, the best in this case use fittings, which will create practically invulnerable products.
Reinforcement of pillars for fence occurs directly during the creation of building structures. After the fill of the concrete, the reinforcing elements are uniformly located all over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe future pillar. When creating standard columns for the fence (up to 3 m height), it is necessary to use 4 longitudinal rods, as well as several transverse (depending on the height of the pillar). These reinforcing elements should be placed evenly and in any way.
Preparation of concrete solution
Despite the fact that without reinforcement, the pillars will not be able to simultaneously have a long time, the preparation of the concrete mix also determines the strength of future columns. In addition to cement, we will also need to use the aggregate, which is best to choose a small crushed stone. Its fraction should be 5-10 mm. Stirring the concrete mixture is best with the help of a concrete mixer, which will scorch the maximum of the components that we have.
After that, it is necessary to pour concrete into a formwork. It should be understood that after that a large amount of emptiness is formed in the mixture, due to which the pillar can become unsuitable for use in construction work.
Thus, after pouring concrete into the container, we will need to qualitatively compact the material. Most often, various vibrational installations are used for this, such as vibrostoles and vibropotts. Within the country area, it is quite possible to create your own vibration table, which will consist only of metal table and vibromotor attached under the table. Often, a perforator is used to seal concrete, which is attached to each section of the formwork.
Creating round pillars for fence
In some cases, when creating a fence, round pillars are required. In fact, this is a much simpler version of the creation of concrete products, given the fact that an ordinary metal tube will act as a formwork. At the same time, several additional manipulations will be required to turn ordinary metal products into a full range. For this, the pipe in length is cut into two parts. On the sides of the two parts of the pipe, metal strips are welded, on which it will be necessary to make holes for bolted connections later. Thus, the pipe is collected, filled with concrete, fillers and reinforcing materials, and after frozen, the design is disassembled, and the round post can be easily removed.
Coupling bolts must be delayed as stronger as possible, otherwise the future pillar, which dials the strength in this metal structure, may be slightly deformed.
In about the same way, using a pipe as a formwork, you can create truly original poles with different patterns. Inside the pipe, you can also have some kind of sheets of sheet plastic with a variety of textures.
Ease of installation of posts for the fence
Despite the relatively simple process of production of pillars for the fence, it is worth understanding that the main part of construction work dedicated to the design of the structure will be quite complicated. Thus, to simplify the work, it is necessary to take care of the installation of mortgage parts right during the production of columns. Formworks can have special forms that will be perfect for certain parts. Thus, this will allow erection of fences over a short period of time, given the simplicity of fastening the fence enclosing parts. A variety of wood elements can act as mortgage parts, as well as steel structures.
