How to properly install a metal fence made of corrugated sheets. We build a fence from corrugated sheets with our own hands

Profiled steel sheet can be used not only as a roofing material. It can be used to make an inexpensive and fairly durable decorative fence.

Types of profiled steel sheet

Corrugated sheeting is a building material that has a profile in the form of a corrugation (wave), made in the shape of a trapezoid. By purpose it is divided into:
roofing (load-bearing): marked with the letter “H”, the most durable material, having significant thickness and high corrugation, is equipped with additional grooves to provide rigidity; used not only for constructing roofs, but also in the construction of hangars and the manufacture of transport containers;
load-bearing wall (“NS”): universal corrugated sheeting, has average rigidity, used both as a roofing and finishing material for finishing facades;
wall (marked “C”): looks very attractive, but has insignificant thickness, therefore it is used mainly for decorative wall decoration;
corrugated sheeting for fences and other types of fencing;
used as formwork.

Marking of corrugated sheets

In labeling corrugated sheeting, the number immediately following the first letter indicates corrugation height(waves). The second block of numbers indicates mounting and general width and height leaf. For example, if for corrugated sheeting 1150/1200 mm a total width of 1200 is indicated through a slash (slash), this means that the difference between these numbers 1200 - 1150 = 50 mm is equal to the overlap width between the sheets. The last one is indicated metal thickness.

The letters included in the marking indicate type of coating this material. There are several types of such coatings:

Galvanized: the thickness of the zinc layer significantly affects the anti-corrosion properties of the material; Products that are too cheap and have a minimal layer of zinc will very quickly become unusable;
coated with aluzinc (an alloy of zinc and aluminum): a more expensive type of coating that significantly increases the service life of the material;
single- or double-sided polymer coatings made of polyester, plastisol, pural or PVDF: they have not only a decorative, but also a protective function; the most inexpensive type of coating is polyester.
In addition to traditional colored coatings, a pattern can be applied to the corrugated sheet using photo offset printing that imitates stone, brick, wood and other natural materials. It can have curly edges or even be made in the form.

Installation procedure

1. Before starting work, tension the fence around the perimeter twine, along which pegs are placed every 2-3 meters - the locations of future pillars.

Marking the fence

2. Metal poles with a cross-section of 60 mm or more are cut to size, thoroughly cleaned of dust and rust and covered with a layer of primers, and are subsequently painted in the required color. Such supports must have the same height, so for marking it is better to stretch a string along the outer support pillars (they are installed first).

Layout of metal supports

3. The pillars must be installed strictly horizontally, so during installation you should check their position several times building level.
4. After installing the supports, the prepared pits are filled with sand cushion, then crushed stone is laid, which is poured concrete-cement mixture, made from pure, clay-free sand and cement of a grade not lower than M200. To strengthen the concrete, it is laid inside the pit. reinforcement cage.

Arrangement of reinforcement cage for support pillars

5. To prevent moisture from concrete from seeping into the ground, before pouring it is better to prepare a so-called cylindrical formwork from roofing felt or thin metal sheet. Such a fence will protect the concrete from damage by groundwater.

Important! To increase the service life of the metal and protect it from corrosion, the supporting pipes are closed from above after concreting plugs made of wood or metal.

6. When constructing a fence in wet or too loose soil, a full-fledged one is made for the fence or used instead of ordinary support posts.

Making a strip foundation for a fence

7. It is better to use a strip foundation when constructing a fence with significant differences in soil height. In this case, there will be no special need to level the area.

Installation of fencing on uneven ground

8. Depth of holes for pillars most often it is 1/3 of the height of the fence itself, but not less than 0.7-0.8 m. If the soil freezes strongly, the supports are laid in the ground to a great depth (just below the freezing level). Otherwise, the supports may simply be squeezed out to the surface.

Advice. In order not to accidentally stain corrugated sheets with paint, it is better to paint metal supports before installing the sheets. In this case, the welding areas are carefully primed.

9. Subsequent work is carried out only after complete hardening of concrete. It dries within a few days, but gains strength in a couple of weeks, so in order not to displace the structure, it is better to wait a little longer.

10. To increase the decorative properties of the fence, the supporting pillars can be laid on all sides with brick, stone or decorated with forged elements.

11. After the concrete has hardened, two or three horizontal joists cross section 60×25 mm.

12. The corrugated sheet is attached to the transverse joists using self-tapping screws with rubber pads. To strengthen the structure, the sheets are stacked overlap into 1-2 waves and connect with each other metal rivets. To prevent the fence from shaking at the slightest breath of wind, the fastenings should be tightened as tightly as possible. To install one sheet, at least eight self-tapping screws are used.

13. Lastly, the gate is installed and the locks are cut into place.

Fastening corrugated sheets

Any homeowner strives to surround his home with a fence, which is not only a means of protecting property, but also helps protect the privacy of those people who live behind it.

When choosing a material, each person proceeds from his own criteria, the most universal of which are durability, practicality, ease of installation and processing. It is precisely these properties that corrugated sheeting has, which, unlike the chain-link mesh, the fence of which is made of, allows you to completely hide the house from prying eyes.

Let's consider how to start building a fence from such a common and beloved material by many.

Preparing to install a fence

In order for the fence installation work to proceed without interruptions and delays, it is necessary to carry out some preparatory measures.

The main ones of these activities are:

Calculation of the required quantity and purchase of material. For this purpose, the perimeter of the fenced area should be determined and the height of the planned fence should be taken into account.
Determination of installation locations for wickets and gates for vehicle entry.
Determining the installation step of support pillars. The step is determined based on specific conditions, but it should not exceed 3 meters.
Preparing the site for work. For this purpose, all objects and elements that are an obstacle must be removed from the area of upcoming work, and the area itself must be leveled.

The procedure for installing a fence made of corrugated sheets

Marking

First of all, the places where the fence will be installed are determined and marked. For this purpose, a cord is stretched between the corners of the future fence, along which the installation of support posts is marked.

As a rule, metal pipes or square profiles are used as support pillars. Of course, it is also possible to use wooden posts or beams, but one must not forget about their short service life. In the case of using metal elements, great attention must be paid to. For this purpose, all elements must be painted before installation, and their upper sections must be covered with any material that can prevent moisture from entering the internal cavities.

The supporting elements must have the following dimensions:

diameter of at least 75 mm if pipes are used
cross section is about 60×60 mm if square profiles are used.

Installation of support pillars

Installation of posts begins with the preparation of holes, which can be made using a hand drill. The depth of the pits can be from 70 to 100 cm, which is determined by the height of the fence. As a rule, the depth is equal to 30% of the height of the fence.

The installation of support pillars itself can be done using compaction or concreting. Moreover, the first method is cheap, and the second is reliable. In the case of concreting, the concrete solution is prepared from a mixture of cement, sand, crushed stone in a ratio of 1:3:4, diluted with water.

Installation of pillars must be done in the following sequence:

Install the outer poles and pull the cord along their upper cut.
The height of the intermediate posts should be aligned with the stretched cord.
Using a building level or plumb line, check that each post is correctly fixed.
Install the next pillar only after the concrete under the previous one has hardened. This period can be from 2 to 3 days.

Installation of logs

Having installed the pillars, it is necessary to proceed to the installation of the inter-pillar joists on which the corrugated sheeting will be attached. This operation is usually performed by welding. However, it can also be done using bolts.

The following can be used as lags:

corner size 40×40 mm
rectangular profile 25×40 mm.

For every meter of fence height there must be at least one log. Having completed the installation of the frame structure, it is necessary to cover it with a layer of paint in order to prevent possible corrosion.

Installation of corrugated sheets

Installation of corrugated sheeting on the prepared frame is the final stage of all work.

The sheets are fastened using metal screws, screwed or using an electric drill with a bit into the recessed part of the wave at a distance of 100-150 mm from one another. Using stretched cords, you can control the installation height of corrugated sheets and the level of screwing in screws.

During work, precautions must be taken as all metal edges are sharp. These edges must be tinted using special polymer paints, and all work should be done using protective gloves.

To cut corrugated sheets, you should use a grinder, first wearing safety glasses. The edges resulting from sawing must be processed with a file.

In connection with the start of the new construction season, many novice developers are thinking about the question of how to fence their site. Our portal has already repeatedly talked about different options for constructing a fence, ranging from stone to unedged boards. The topic of today's article will be a guide to self-building a fence from profiled sheets.

Introductory part

Despite the many options for fencing, traditionally the “people’s” profiled sheet holds the palm. Developers are captivated by the availability of technology, as well as relative budget with a long service life. Before we talk about the stages of construction of the fence of user FORUMHOUSE with the nickname Palych R34, You should focus on such fence indicators as reliability and durability.

Those who live on their land know well that with the arrival of spring and the thawing of the soil, the following picture can be observed - the gate leaves or the fence wicket have sagged and are difficult to open. The pillars are littered, and the corrugated sheets are torn or bent in places.

It’s all because of the age-old principle “I build like my neighbor” or “I do like everyone else.” The result of this approach is an extra waste of effort, time and money on correcting a skewed or littered fence. The right thing to do is to do everything right the first time, even if it takes longer than what was delivered by the “company” or “professionals” in a couple of days.

Palych R34 User FORUMHOUSE

I have twenty years of construction experience. Because Since my budget is limited, I decided to install a fence from corrugated sheets myself. The choice is simple - the scammers will cheat and do everything carelessly, and the company will ask for too much money.

In order not to have to redo the fence in the spring, we first assess the conditions of its operation and only then calculate the structure. First of all, we study the soil. Heaving/non-heaving, what layer of chernozem, groundwater level, is there clay, where does the sand begin, etc.

All this influences the choice of how to install the pillars. Some people concrete them, others prefer to fill them with crushed stone and sand. Other developers take a drastic and not always rational method - they pour a strip foundation, which often breaks exactly in the place where the metal pillar passes through the body of the “ribbon”.

Also, many people overlook such factors as the location of the site and wind load. It directly affects the choice of post section, and therefore the overall cost estimate for the entire construction of a profiled fence. The fact is that in one case you can limit yourself to a standard profile pipe 60x60x3 mm. In other conditions, a strong wind will simply blow out of such a pipe.

Design, tools and materials required for

After calculating the wind load, Palych R34 determined that for its fence, with a profiled sheet height of 1800 mm, a post is needed - a profile square pipe with a cross section of 60x60x3 mm.

Because the soil on the user's property is heaving - clay, the user decided to find out how fence posts are installed in his area, and what problems may arise. Having called companies that install fences from corrugated sheets and visited the neighbors, Palych R34 I found out that mostly the pillars are either driven into the ground with a sledgehammer or concreted.

A popular method at FORUMHOUSE for installing metal poles on heaving soil is backfilling with crushed stone and sand, but is not used.

According to the user, because. strong winds blow in the area (sometimes the wind force reaches 24-28 m/s), the pillars become loose over time, under the influence of gusts of wind hitting the corrugated sheet, like a sail.

Palych R34

If you hammer in pillars, then only for the installation of a well-ventilated chain-link mesh. Therefore, I decided to concrete the pillars to a depth of 1200 mm. This method increases the mass of the lower part of the column, and the concrete acts as a counterweight anchor. I remember a time when a neighbor’s fence, in our wind-prone area, fell down. The fact is that the “masters” dug holes of only 0.5 m, and then concreted the pillar. This depth was not enough for a 2-meter fence made of corrugated sheets.

Having decided on the design of the pillars, the user proceeded to installation. To prevent the clay from clinging to the concrete and the post being pushed out in the spring, the concrete mixture is poured into a roofing felt “jacket.” To do this, a hole is drilled to a given depth, into which a sleeve rolled from roofing material is inserted, and a concrete pillar is then installed into it.

Ruberoid jacket is considered the most budget option for permanent formwork for a pile foundation. Another way to install poles on heaving soil is to pour concrete into a plastic sewer pipe. The principle is the same, it is difficult for clay to cling to the smooth surface of the pipe.

This article describes in detail about the TISE foundation and methods of drilling and pouring piles.

Having decided on the design, operating features of the fence and making a drawing of the area with marks for the gate and gate, we calculate the amount of materials.

Palych R34

The perimeter of my plot is 170 m. The length of one side is 60 m. The front and back are 25 m each. The height difference from the top to the bottom on one side is 1160 mm, and on the other side - 960 mm. Adding soil to level the area is very expensive. I decided to make the fence with steps.

To make the transition between sections of the fence look symmetrical, it is necessary to calculate the pitch of the steps. The user decided that the pillars (25 pieces) would be placed at a distance of 2500 mm from each other. Side length is 60 meters. Logs are a profile pipe, sold in 6-meter lengths. Therefore, in order to minimize the number of cuts, steps are made through 1 post, i.e. every 5 meters. Now we find the value of one step. To do this, divide 60 by 5 = 12, or 11 lifts in total. Next, divide 1160 (height difference) by 11 = 105 mm. Total: the step of one step is 10.5 cm.

The second side part (height difference 960 mm) has a similar pitch, but fewer steps. At the end part there are gates for the passage of freight transport, 4000 mm wide. The remaining part of the site is divided into equal parts with a span of 2330 mm.

Knowing the perimeter of the site and the number of pillars, you can calculate the required metal. So:

Columns - profile pipe 60x60x3 mm, 3000 mm long - 57 pcs. To reduce time costs, metal cutting to size can be ordered at a metal warehouse.

You can take a round tubing pipe (pump and compressor pipe) onto the poles.

In some cases (depending on the degree of its availability), such a used pipe is cheaper than a square profile pipe. At the same time, it has a thicker wall, and there are no welds, which increases the strength of the pipe. But it is more difficult to weld horizontal logs to such a pipe. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the strength of the pipe based on wind load. Most often, a tubing pipe with a diameter of 73 mm is used for poles.

For gate posts Palych R34 I ordered a pipe 100x100x4 mm - 3 pcs. The user initially planned the wall thickness to be 3 mm, but pipes with such parameters were not available.
Logs - profile pipe – 40x25x2x6000 mm – 50 pcs.
The gate frame is a profile pipe – 40x40x1.5 mm (there was also no pipe with a wall 2 mm thick).

In addition, the user bought a metal strip 60x4 mm. Weld it to the end of the pipe, Palych R34 made caps for the pillars.

Also required fittings:

with a diameter of 12 mm - 4 rods for tape under the entrance group;
with a diameter of 8 mm - 6 rods (for stretching the chain-link mesh on the façade).

To order the required amount of corrugated sheets, remember a simple rule - the most popular for installing a fence are corrugated sheets with the designations C8 and C10, where 8 and 10 mm are the height of the wave (corrugations).

For example, a profiled sheet with the designation NS-20 has a profile height of 20 mm.

The higher the wave (rib), the stiffer and stronger the corrugated sheet, but corrugated sheeting with a very high wave does not look aesthetically pleasing on the fence.

In pursuit of savings, you should not take a profiled sheet with a minimum thickness of 0.33-0.35 mm or purchase material of dubious origin with a reduced thickness. We remember the rule that the stingy pays twice, having installed a profiled sheet made “as if from paper”, we automatically come to the need to replace it in the near future. Visible dents remain on a thin profiled sheet, even after minimal physical impact.

The optimal thickness of a profiled sheet for a fence (provided the metal is of high quality) is in the range of 0.4-0.6 mm.

The length of the corrugated sheet can be standard (1.8-2 m) or cut to the size of the developer. We also pay attention to such characteristics of corrugated sheeting as working and overall width, because these parameters (the sheets are mounted overlapping) directly affect the amount of material required.

For an approximate calculation, let’s take profiled sheet C8. Overall sheet width – 1200 mm. Working width – 1150 mm. For comparison: similar indicators for NS 20 profiled sheets are 1150 and 1100 mm. It is necessary to close 50 meters of the fence. Hence: 50/1.15 = 43.5 sheets. Round up. Total: 44 sheets.

Now, for comparison, let’s calculate the required number of sheets of NS 20. 50/1.1= 45.5. Round up, total - 46 sheets. Those. the working width of the profiled sheet determines the perimeter of the fence that can be covered with it, which affects the final estimate.

In addition to metal, to erect a fence from corrugated sheets you will need a set of tools. Here's a list Palycha R34. This:

welding inverter;
welding helmet “Chameleon”;
gloves for welding;
clamps;
magnetic level
drill for drilling holes for rivets;
Bulgarian.

This is the minimum set. Magnetic angles will also be useful for welding logs to posts. You can drill holes with a hand or gasoline drill.

Having decided on the design of the fence made from corrugated sheets and having calculated the required amount of materials, we move on to the second step - installation work. We will tell you how to install a fence from corrugated sheets yourself in the second part of the article. Follow the updates on the portal!

Those FORUMHOUSE users who now want to learn all the nuances of installing a fence from corrugated sheets can study the topic Palych R34. Discussed at this link. We also recommend reading the articles: and. In the video -

If you decide to install a corrugated fence with your own hands, then this review is for you. It describes in great detail and clearly all the nuances of the work process. You just need to repeat all the steps - and the result will be no worse than that of professional builders.

How to organize work correctly

To get a good result, it is not enough to understand only the features of installing a fence made of corrugated board. You need to choose high-quality materials, use the right tools and build a strong supporting structure. We'll walk you through the process from start to finish so you don't have any questions.

Preparatory activities

Going straight to buy materials is not the best solution. Since you do not know the exact quantity, and even a professional will not carry out calculations by eye.

Therefore, do not be lazy and spend half an hour to carry out measurements and calculations:

First of all, the location of the fence is determined. A construction cord is stretched along the line, which will serve as the main guide. Wooden pegs or metal elements are hammered into the corners, onto which a cord or fishing line is attached;

Length measurements are taken. First of all, it is worth checking the length of the fence. Everything is simple here, to work you need to attract an assistant and use a tape measure to take all the measurements;

The pitch of the columns is determined. It can be anything, but most often the range from 2 to 3 meters is chosen, 2.5 meters is the most popular and convenient solution. It is best to immediately mark the position of the supports, so you can accurately calculate the required number of columns;
The required volume of profiled sheet is calculated. Everything is simple here if you know the dimensions of the corrugated sheets. The standard width is 1155 mm, the useful width is 1100 mm. The height can be any, the material will be cut to the nearest centimeter.

If you have an uneven landscape, you should design the fence to compensate for any level changes. In this case, a strip foundation must be made, with the help of which all irregularities are covered. Below is an example project for an uneven site.

Materials and tools

Even perfect adherence to installation technology does not guarantee the reliability of the fence if you used low-quality materials. Therefore, you need to choose everything you need very carefully. The table below will help you make the right decision.

Material	Recommendations for selection
Corrugated sheet	It is best to use options with a wave height of 8-10 mm; they are marked as C8 and C10, respectively. The thickness of the material should be 0.5 mm or more; I do not recommend taking thinner sheets. When purchasing, pay attention to the quality of painting: the surface must be perfect, without defects or scratches.
Columns	Most often, a profiled pipe measuring 50x50 mm or more is used. The length of the supports depends on the height of the fence; if this figure is 2 meters, then the post must be 3 meters for reliable fastening in the ground. It’s easier to buy ready-made posts, their price is higher, but you get a ready-made option that doesn’t need to be painted or cut
Jumpers	They are best made from light and durable pipe 40x20 mm. For ease of fastening the profiled sheet, choose products with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. With this thickness, you can screw in screws without drilling holes, which speeds up and simplifies the work process
Fasteners	Corrugated sheeting is best secured using roofing screws. They are painted in the color of the base coating and have a drill tip for screwing into metal without pre-drilling. The product also has a washer with a rubberized base that closes the hole and protects it from moisture penetration
Materials for concreting	To secure the pillars, you will need either concrete made from cement, sand and crushed stone, or cement-sand mortar and filler made from stone, brick and broken concrete. The second option is simpler and cheaper, since stones and old bricks can be found almost free of charge
Dye	Necessary for painting pillars and lintels. Use either primer and paint, or a composition that combines these components.

Installing a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands requires that you have a certain set of tools:

Welding machine for attaching wires to poles. A mobile household option operating on a 220 Volt network is suitable. If you don’t know how to cook, it’s easier to hire a welder for an hour or two. In this case, you need to carry out preliminary preparation and marking so as not to waste time and complete the work quickly;
Grinder for cutting metal and cleaning it before welding. This tool allows you to quickly and efficiently cut a pipe, clean welds and prepare the surface for welding. Don’t forget to stock up on cutting and grinding discs of the appropriate diameter;

Use tin snips to cut corrugated sheets. Under no circumstances should you carry out work with a grinder; this will cause the profiled sheet to overheat and within a year the ends will begin to rust;

To dig holes for posts, use a shovel or a special drill with a diameter of at least 20 cm;
The solution is prepared either manually (in this case you will need a large container) or using a concrete mixer. The second option is preferable for large volumes of work. It is not necessary to buy equipment; you can rent it for 1 day;
Measurements are made using a tape measure; markings are best done with a felt-tip pen. The most convenient way to control the position of pillars and corrugated sheets is with a building level;
The sheets are fastened using a screwdriver with a special M8 attachment. It is sold in hardware stores and is designed specifically for roofing screws; the magnetic holder allows you not to lose the fastener during work.

Installation of pillars and fastening of veins

Installation of a corrugated fence begins with the installation of posts.

The process consists of the following steps:

Digging or drilling holes for poles. The work is carried out with a shovel or drill; the minimum depth of the supports should be at least 1 meter. In addition, a cushion of sand or gravel is poured onto the bottom in a layer of 10-20 cm; this nuance should also not be forgotten. The total depth is usually 120-140 cm;

A pillow is poured onto the bottom. It will ensure installation stability and will not allow the pillar to sag during concreting;
The pillar is installed in place. First of all, the height of its above-ground part is checked, and if necessary, the position is adjusted. If the support is low, then sand is added, if it is high, then the column is carefully deepened;

For reliability, protrusions and lintels can be welded to the underground part. Then, when concreting, the pillar will be fixed much more firmly.

If a filler of stones and bricks is used, then the hole is filled to 2/3 of the depth. The rest should be placed after the initial filling of the solution, when it fills all the voids. The stones are carefully compacted, while the position of the pillar is constantly checked using a level; it must stand level;

The solution is being prepared. If you don’t have filler, then mix cement, sand and crushed stone in a ratio of 1:3:5, the consistency should be quite thick. If you use stones or bricks, then prepare a semi-liquid solution of 1 part cement and 3 parts sand. The solution must penetrate into all voids and fill them for the best fastening;
Pillars are being concreted. The solution is poured into the holes and compacted with a stick or reinforcement so that it fills the hole as best as possible and there are no voids left in it. The solution with crushed stone is poured to the top, and if you used stones, then at the first stage they must be closed, after which the filler is added to the very top and the solution is filled to the required level;

The position of the elements is checked. I know from my own practice that even with careful pouring, the pillar can move. Therefore, immediately after concreting, be sure to check its position with a level on all sides and, if necessary, level it. Only after this can the work be considered successfully completed.

It takes time for concrete to gain strength. It is best to continue work no earlier than 5 days after concreting, during which time the material will set well and harden.

The technology for installing a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands includes such a stage as fastening the veins. This part of the work can be done in two ways: welding and using special brackets.

Let's look at each of them and start with welding:

Jumpers and pillars are being prepared. As for the veins, they are cut into pieces that should be 5 mm less than the distance between the posts. The surface of the pillars at the place where the lintels are attached is cleaned; if they are painted, they are removed;
The veins are exposed and welded. If you have clamps, then the easiest way is to fix the jumpers with their help; if there are no fastenings, then two assistants should hold the element until it is grabbed. Welding is carried out along the entire perimeter of the junction;

After welding, the seams are cleaned. Too protruding sagging and other flaws are removed. If poorly cooked areas are found, they need to be cooked again;
The surface is cleaned and painted. If you had painted pillars, then only the joints and veins are painted. If there is no coating, then the entire treatment is performed. The protective composition is applied in at least two layers, special attention is paid to welding areas and other joints.

Now let’s look at the option of connecting pillars and joists using special brackets. You can see what they look like in the photo, and we’ll look at how to use them below:

The first element is installed at the level you need. Installation to the pole is carried out using self-tapping screws. Fastening can be done on the sides or from the front, it all depends on the design of the fastening unit;
The bracket is placed on the second post. To accurately determine its position, you need to install a jumper and place a building level on it. The exact location of the fastening is determined from it, and it is screwed to the support. In the same way, work continues along the entire length of the fence;

The jumpers are fixed with self-tapping screws on the back side. The result is a very strong and perfectly smooth knot. The only disadvantage of this solution is that the fasteners cannot be found in all cities, so if you decide to use this technology, make sure that you can buy the brackets.

Fastening corrugated sheets

Installation of corrugated sheets on the fence is carried out according to the following scheme:

First of all, a sheet is prepared. If cutting is needed, then marking is made and the element is cut. If there is a protective film on the surface, then it is better to remove it before fastening, since then it will be very difficult to tear it out from under the screws, and pieces of polyethylene sticking out from under the washers will ruin the entire appearance of the fence;

You should also know how to properly secure elements with self-tapping screws. Here you should be guided by the rubber base of the washer; it should not be crushed, but it should not just touch the surface. The correct option is shown in the simple and clear picture below.

The sheet is placed in the required position and tacked. To begin with, it is enough to tighten 4 self-tapping screws in the corners so that you do not need to hold the element. Next, the corrugated sheet is attached as expected, the hardware should be located through 1 wave, their length is usually 20-25 mm;

The following sheets are attached in the same way. Do not forget to check the position of each element with a level; many people forget about this after installing the first sheet, and as a result, a noticeable distortion forms at the end of the fence;

Fence strip attached. It is needed in order to give the structure a more attractive appearance and to cover the upper ends from precipitation. The elements are simply put on the upper part, at the places of their connections an overlap of at least 30 mm is made. Fastening is done using rivets, which are matched to the color of the fence, everything is simple and quick.

Installing a corrugated fence according to this review will not be difficult. If you are interested in the question of assembling gates and wickets, then the process is similar to that described above with the only difference being that you need to weld the frames and attach them to the posts with hinges. This type of work is described in detail in a separate review on our website.

Conclusion

After reading the review, anyone can handle the job, especially since you choose the options for assembling the structure yourself.
