The fencing from the stone is distinguished by its strength, durability and aesthetic appearance. Such a fence is always ready to protect its owner from non-critical guests or curious views. How to build a reliable stone fence around the site?
1
Start construction follows from a solid foundation. Copy trench: 40-50 cm in width and about 70 cm deep into depth (depending on the level of primerization of the soil). From the reinforcement, we build a kind of grid, tighten the rods with each other, put into the trench. In several places, they dig up the so-called "glasses", that is, perpendicular trench ditches with a length of about 60 cm. For future pillars, we take up 4 bar of reinforcement upstairs. From the boards, we make a formwork, strengthen it with external backups.

Mix the solution. Connect the cement bucket, three sand buckets and 0.25 buckets of adhesiveness. Dry components are well mixed, then dilute half the water bucket. I bring the solution to the correct consistency with the help of a mixer or concrete mixer. We pour the mixture into the trench, cover with a film or thick tarpaulter, we leave for 6 hours. After that, we dismantle the formwork and give cement to frozen for 2-3 weeks. By the way, under the future gate and the foundation, we make the foundation exactly the same as under the entire perimeter of the fence.

We sort the stone. The most correct and beautiful items leave for columns. Stones with some flaws will go to the spans. Completely non-psychotic debris and small babe will be useful for filling voids.

Build columns. We stretch the thread between the extreme pillars, the carbon meter the straight angle, mark the base points on the foundation. Put the first angular stone for the solution. We carry out the level of vertical and horizontal. Permissible deviation - up to 1 cm for every two meters of height. I exhibit the maximum exactly as possible all 4 angle and go to the layout of spaces, while we leave the margin on the seams of 1.5-2 cm. That is, from the planned column width, we take the width of the side faces of the angular stones, and then subtract the width of the seams. As a result, we get the width of the stone that needs to be found among all the piles. The appropriate element is inserted into the opening, and if this is not, component is something similar from the two stones smaller. We leave the design to stick, later pour into the solution. After drying out the entire column, go to the second row. It is important not to miss the dressing of the seams to make the fence as stable as much as possible.
5
We proceed to spans. They must already be columns, so measuring, for example, 5 cm with the inner and outer sides of the support. After laying the first stone in the span, we stretch the thread between the nearest columns and put all the next rows. Do not forget to use the level and draw the dressing of the seams. When working with the upper number of stones, we select especially carefully because you need to form a flat surface.
6
After 3-4 hours after masonry, we will extend the seams. A narrow spatula is made in them rectangular grooves depth 1-2 cm. The deeper the extinguishing, the more voluminous and attractive looks like a stone fence. If you need to get the seams of a certain color, the appropriate pigment should be added to the coated cement solution.
7
We decorate the fence. Most often used caps for columns. Also popular with forged details, such as lattices. Supplement fence harmonizing the gate style.
When erecting a stone fence, a significant part of the funds can be saved if you get the main material - stones - on your own. In this case, you will have to spend only per solution, fittings, elementary tools and decor. At the same time, it is quite realistic to do with its own forces, not attracting professional masters to the construction.
