The foundation for a fence with brick pillars: features and technology of construction

Keep in mind that brick pillars are impressive, so in the process of installation, it is necessary to take care of the presence of a strong base under the fence. Otherwise, the design of the structure cannot be avoided.

Also, the correct arrangement of the foundation will make the fence more stable before the wind and other mechanical load. Before installing sections of concrete or brick, the foundation for them needs high -quality waterproofing.

The main functional feature of the foundation is reliable holding of the fence. Thus, sections become more durable, do not destroy and do not sag. The depth of the foundation is determined based on the height of the fence, the degree of its reinforcement, the weight of each section and the pillar.

There are several variations in the construction of the foundation for brick pillars, we suggest that they familiarize themselves with them:

1. The foundation of the tape type.

The easiest and widely popular option. This foundation is universal, therefore it is suitable for any protective structures. The width of the foundation determines the number of sections inside the fence, in order to make such a foundation, you will need to prepare a stone, ingredients for concrete solution - sand, cement and filler in the form of gravel, reinforcing bars that will make the structure more durable, but at the same time and flexible and flexible .

Depending on the previously made calculations, the trench is equipped. Next, its waterproofing and installation of reinforcement is performed. It is preferable to fill the foundation once. In order to get rid of excess air in concrete and increase the strength of the structure, use the concrete vibrator.

Keep in mind that the maximum depth of the fill is 50 cm. The correctly carried out the filling process will provide the foundation with strength and increase the duration of its operation.

2. The foundation of the columnar type.

This foundation option is used if the soil is highly stable. It is installed only under the supporting parts of the fence. To install the pillars, it will require the presence of a drill, with which the holes are made deeper than the site on which the soil begins to freeze.

Next, the poles are installed in an upright position, and they will become a strong base for brick pillars. In order for the design to acquire additional strength, we recommend pour a concrete solution into the pipes and set the reinforcement rods. With the help of supports, the pillar is fixed, in this position it should be until the concrete is completely solidified, at least 7 days.

Tip: Installation of a column foundation is possible only if light structures, such as a grid or corrugation, act as additional elements of the fence.

3. Combined option.

Such a foundation is a combination of previous types of foundation: tape and columnar. Its construction is relevant when it is planned to arrange a very heavy fence.

A large pit is dug up at the place of installation of the pillars, then the supports are installed and their filling is made. In the remaining areas, a standard strip foundation is equipped. The reinforcement is installed both under the pillars and around the perimeter of the fence. A combined foundation is a great option for complex soils.

4. The foundation of stone.

A stone or broken brick will help equip this foundation option. Among the advantages of the foundation is the lack of need for its additional reinforcement. In addition, its outer part is perfectly combined with a fence made of stone or forged metal.

This type of foundation has high strength and attractive appearance. However, such a foundation is not suitable for a fence of a grid or concrete.

Brick pillars for the fence: recommendations for the arrangement of the foundation

To ensure high strength and reliability of a brick column, a number of technological recommendations on the arrangement of the foundation for it should be carried out. First of all, it is recommended to use only high -quality cement, at least 400 brands.

This material has high strength before external stimuli, especially frost. The amount of solution prepared for the foundation should be such as to fill in one stage.

To determine the number of concrete solution, it is enough to multiply among themselves the value of the height, length and width of the foundation. Add to this value 10% of the shrinkage, the number obtained will show the number of cubic meters of concrete for filling.

The ratio of crushed stone, sand and cement is 2: 2: 1. All ingredients are poured with water and mixed only in a concrete mixer. If this device is absent, then we recommend ordering a ready -made solution prepared at the factory. Its strength is much higher than that of concrete cooked at home.

The arrangement of the foundation for brick tables is a rather important process. However, the quality of the finished fence also depends on the installation of the very pillars. Please note that N is recommended to install the pillars directly to the surface of the foundation. Since under the influence of excessive loads, the process of destruction of the lower bricks will begin. Pillars of gates or gate installed for installation on them are experienced by a particularly high load.

Choosing a brick from which the pillars will be built, we recommend that you stop on a red or facing version. In order for the pillars to differ in high strength, the presence of a steel support located inside them will be required.

For these purposes, materials in the form of pipes, corners or reinforcing bars are suitable.

Tip: if you plan to install a hollow pillar, then its inner part is filled with reinforcement and poured with concrete solution.

Next, brick is laid along the perimeter of supporting pillars. The voids that are formed between the support and established bricks are filled with a cement mortar.

Keep in mind that the installation of the fence begins only after 20 days, from the moment of the construction of brick pillars. Since they must gain the necessary strength. The installation of caps on brick pillars of the fence will help prevent excessive moisture from entering them, thus, the duration of operation of the entire structure will increase. There are both purchased options for caps, and the option of building them with your own hands is possible.

Condronage fence with brick pillars

In order to make a fence aesthetically attractive, but at the same time, not to spend a lot of money to build it, a combination of brick pillars with corrugated board is used.

Thus, it is possible to obtain a design with special strength and stability. The initial stage of work is to carry out calculations, the preparation of the project and determine the size of the future fence.

For independent design of the fence, the presence of wooden pegs will be required, along which the nylon thread is stretched. With the help of roulette, the length of the fence is measured, which is recorded in the project.

In the presence of large changes in the height of the soil on the site, we recommend dividing it into several parts, on each of which the foundation will be located at different depths. Please note that the minimum distance between the foundation and soil is 10-15 cm. After calculations, the trench is produced for the foundation. Its standard depth is about 50 cm, and in places of installation of supporting pillars, the trench deepens at a distance of at least 100 cm. Consider that a deep expansion of the trench is performed along the entire length of the fence, thus it will be possible to avoid the soil that can destroy the structure. Please note that at the place of installation of brick pillars, reinforced supports are installed, the basis of which is fixed using steel corners. They will be frames for the construction of brick pillars for the fence.

In the inner part of the trench dug under the foundation, the reinforcement is installed, which additionally strengthens it. For the manufacture of formwork, trimming boards are used, the size of which corresponds to the internal size of the trench. Keep in mind that the formwork should be reliably fixed on the surface, so that there is no deformation of the foundation under the influence of a large weight of concrete.

In order for the base for a fence with brick pillars to last for a long time, it will require the presence of high -plastic concrete composition to make it. Therefore, to the main composition, it is recommended to add soap or special plasticizers. The first option involves the addition of soap in a ratio with a solution up to 0.2%. The amount of addition of plasticizers is carried out depending on the manufacturer's instructions.

The next stage in the construction of tape fences with brick pillars involves the welding of the frame on which corrugated board will be recorded. For these purposes, arc welding and profile steel pipes will be required. On pre -installed steel pipes, two parallel parts of the profile are installed: one in the upper, and the second in the lower part. Keep in mind that each welding stage is checked by the construction level. After installing the frame, it is coated with an anti -corrosion solution, and then with a paint.

Next, work on the cladding of the pillars with bricks is carried out. After a complete solidification of the solution, with which the masonry is performed, corrugated board is installed. The solution should have an average level of plasticity. Installation of decorative steel caps in the color of corrugated board will significantly increase the attractiveness of the finished fence.

Panels for decorating a fence with brick pillars

Plastic pillars that simulate brick are an excellent solution that helps to significantly save both time and money, for the construction of a fence. Such pillars are most often installed on a fence made of corrugated board or wood.

Imitation of a brick column for the fence has the following advantages:

• time saving - if you level the installation work on installing panels and facing the support of the support with bricks, then the time required to perform the first operation is 9-10 times less than the cost of installing a brick column;
• The simplicity of installation - during installation work there is no need for special equipment, a knead of the solution, do not need special skills, in addition, work is performed at any time of the year;
• the lack of need for an expensive foundation, since the panels do not load the structure and differ in lightweight, so the installation of pillars is also possible on movable soil;
• The aesthetic attractiveness of the panels is the same as the brick, however, they do not fade over time, do not change the appearance, opposed moisture and temperature change;
• Universality of application - it is possible to install panels both inside and outside the fence, in addition, they are easily painted in the necessary shade, are used for any type of climate;
• Additionally, it will be necessary to purchase only fasteners, the remaining elements are part of the pillar, including the overlays.

The warranty life of the poles is more than 6 years. However, beware of fakes by choosing plastic panels, focus on the availability of certificates of compliance with all norms and quality of products. The main material for the manufacture of panels is polypropylene. It is characterized by environmental safety and good performance.

For the installation of one panel, half an hour is enough, it will take the same time in order to dismantle the panel. The panels are convenient to transport, do not need special equipment or installation equipment. A great option for quick and high -quality construction of the fence.
