The choice of materials for the fence depends on the preferences and financial resources. A stone fence is more durable than wood, but also more expensive. The most spectacular is wrought fence, but its price is high. The fence separates our property from neighbors and passers-by. But beyond providing intimacy and protection from noise, dust and exhaust fumes, it should be matched to the architecture of the house. It must be strong, durable and fulfill its function. Its height and design also protects against intruders.
Wooden fences
The cheapest material and the most popular is wood. Wooden fence is built of logs, rails or rods. It is easy to place and does not cause problems during maintenance. Properly selected will fit both the urban landscape and rural. It should choose healthy and timber wood, and protected it against moisture, mold and fungus, as well as UV radiation. Wooden elements of the fence should also be coated with varnish, which will form a coating resistant to water and abrasion. Fence can have different colors. You can use opaque, transparent paint or wood stain, or wax and oil, so that the water does not soak into the wood. We can choose to fence built entirely of wood, brick fence with wooden spans or fence with stone and wood. Longer lasting and more stable will be the fence where the wooden posts have no contact with the ground.
Durable stone fence
Stone fences are much more durable than wooden, but more expensive, because the stone is mainly used in pedestals and columns. A stone fence can be made of granite or limestone. The fence can be also built a with ceramic bricks, silicate blocks, cellular concrete or bricks and covered with plaster. The foundations should be buried in the ground approx. 60 cm, and the wall should start 10-15 cm above the ground surface.
Elegant metal
Metal fences are very elegant, but is also very expensive. Steel and cast-iron fences are also very popular. You can choose ready-made forms To prevent corrosion, metal parts should be protected at the factory.
